A story that is more often than not swept beneath the carpet of history, never before in a film have we seen the embryonic Christian movement portrayed in such a way, and it was a brave and laudable move on the part of director Alejandro Amenabar.

The DVD quality was excellent, watched on a Panansonic 50" GT30. Interesting (possibly feminist take) of the ancients understanding of philosophy/science of a women in a 'mans world'. The makers had the opportunity to bring an ancient period of history to light and they went the route of pure fantasy. Well directed! Really enjoyed this, watched as background for a study improving but was good to see in its own right.
An interesting film chronicling the early years of Christian development when the rising power of the Church began to overwhelm the opposition in the form of the persecution and martyrdom of the pagan mathematician Hypatia at the hands of a mob of 'Christian' fanatics.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2014 Interesting and well produced record of history, if your looking for the usual mass of explosions then you will not find this here... well acted and uses people instead of graphics a lot like the good old epics. Historical accuracy aside, the underlying truth of our shared human history is represented here correctly enough.
Historically inaccurate as the library in this movie was destroyed by the Romans before Jesus' birth, and the lady was not killed by an angry mob of Christians. In Agora we are treated to a sample of Hypatia's life both before and after Christian zealots destroyed the library entrusted to Hypatia's family, a sister library to the main library across town.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2017 A valued movie - not often that I watch a movie more than once, bit this has been vised three times by me so far. The storyline could have been more fulfilling but well cast & acted, a sun, sand & sandals story. Hypatia is often painted in sexist terminology or presented as symbol of a particular religious viewpoint, or of two opposing ones. A good story, only the Legionary outfits were about 150 ...

Set in ancient Egypt under Roman rule, AGORA follows the brilliant and beautiful astronomer Hypatia (Weisz) who leads a group of disciples fighting to save the wisdom of the Ancient World. Our scant knowledge of Hypatia of Alexandria comes mainly from writers of the past two centuries. In this 2009 historical drama, the year is 391CE, and Hypatia teaches philosophy at the famous library at Alexandria but as the Roman Empire crumbles so tensions between ’Pagan’ and ’Christian’ grow. 'Agora' manages to cut through all that to give us a balanced story of a scientist whose only mistake was, perhaps, to have been born in the wrong age. It is a warning to all of us, if more warnings were needed, of just how dangerous religious zealots can be. Having watched Agora on DVD once I was immediately moved to watch it for a second time so overwhelmed was I by the artistry and vision that oozed from every celluloid corner of this modern-day historical epic. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. This film has done an excellent job of sifting through the dross as well as the meagre fifth century records to present a picture of one of the most intriguing figures in history. Instead we see the early Christians as religious extremists threatening and intimidating others to convert to their monotheistic ways or suffer the painful consequences. Amid the troubles two men –one a slave, both desire Hypatia, but how long will it be before violence [and religion] overtakes all.An interesting film chronicling the early years of Christian development ...

To describe Agora as epic is no idle exaggeration, for this film attempts to document the brutal and often bloody rise of Christianity in 4th Century Alexandria, at the heart of the Roman Empire. Several reasons this movie earned the one-star rating - 1) Within four minutes of the movie, there's a naked woman.
What I didn't like is the misleading story-telling of showcasing the church in its earliest forms as an absolutely barbaric and murderous gang hungry for power, when during those ages christians were being persecuted still (in other areas of the world).

Rachel Weisz's portrayal is closer to my mental image than any I have seen of the dedicated and passionate (though not necessarily sexually so) mathematician and philosopher.
