Plot: Dating back to nearly a century after the death of the Christ, the movie projects the active Romanian port city by the side of Mount Vesuvius. Cassia is an affluent trader’s daughter. She happens to come across Milo, who was a slave once. Also, he is a gladiator. Their social background alone does not stand in between their love. Already, Cassia is engaged to Corvus, who happens to be a tainted Roman senator. Mount Vesuvius erupts with all its fury and lava flows down to the city. Milo has to save his love Cassia before things get out of hand.

The year of 2014 seems to be very boring for moviegoers with stereotyped historical movies. The flat affect on the face of actors and a dull story are predominant. The movie Pompeii is one in the list of such movies. The movie depends entirely on special effects that do not hold full appeal. The movie seems to be pieced together from fragments of several other movies. But, the movie does not go anywhere near the quality expected out of it. The direction is totally lackluster. The editing makes the movie resemble a patchwork. The eruption of the volcano is not the only disaster. The main disaster in the movie is actor Kiefer Sutherland with his put-up British accent.

Verdict: There is a good piece of history which could have become a good cinema. But, the audiences are left sighing with disappointment for such a weekend spoiler.
