Storyline:
Alexandria, 391 CE: Hypatia teaches astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy. Her student Orestes is in love with her, as is Davus, her personal slave. As the city's Christians, led by Ammonius and Cyril, gain political power, the great institutions of learning and governance may not survive. Jump ahead 20 years: Orestes, the city's prefect, has an uneasy peace with Christians, led by Cyril. The Christians enforce public morality; first they see the Jews as their obstacle, then nonbelievers. Hypatia has no interest in faith; she's concerned about the movement of celestial bodies and the brotherhood of all. What place is there for her?

Great Movie. Shows a side of history that we don't see often, yet it's worth knowing about. People with open minds should watch the movie. Those who are fixated on their christian views and don't want to watch anything that challenges their dogma should stay away (although they should be the ones watching).
Any student of history will see the many truths in the movie and often as you watch you can't help but see the similarities to what is happening in our world today. I loved how the movies shows that the Pagans weren't the "evil-doers" as Christians like to portray them now, but rather shows how religious fanatacism can destroy great things in the name of "god".
Please watch..support this great film.

This movie was emotionally compelling and the scenery and cinematography were captivating. I can see why some Christians or Jews may be offended, as neither groups are portrayed as being free from revenge or violence; however, religious violence is common in history, and the events seemed historically accurate, or at least very plausible. Rachel Weisz is excellent; she evokes empathy and does a wonderful job of portraying a brilliant thinker/philosopher who is also a woman--a character that is rare in film. Overall, the movie is not particularly uplifting or a "feel good" movie. It does have a good deal of violence and death, but I felt that this was realistic and not gratuitous. There is also an astronomical theme to the movie that is consistent with the main character and the culture/studies of ancient Egypt. Most importantly, this movie completely sucked me in and made me believe that I was in ancient Egypt. Every detail was authentic--never noticed any CGI. Brilliant-a must see!

One of the best films of the decade. Historically correct, depicts major conflicts in Alexandria, and Hypatia's struggle much like Copernicus and others to sustain learning and knowledge. Rachel Weisz is stunning and shows deep mastery of the character and the historical issues. Direction is crisp. Alexandria set is a great replica. What a stunner this film is. It holds you every minute. A film for all citizens of the world.
