I think I'd go with an 8/10, it's a pretty good film, a bit surreal but considering the budget was negligible and Scandinavian cinema isn't exactly burgeoning it's a worthwhile film to search out.

Agora This stars Rachel Weisz as Hypatia of Alexandria, who was an astronomer and philospher who while trying to decipher the workings of the celestial bodies, has to try and deal with the increasing influence of Christianity over mostly Paganism and Judaism. The film unsurprisingly is quite violent at times and doesn't seem to hold back with it's bluntness. Early Christians are shown to be very barbaric, often fighting those who have a different view point to death (sound familiar?..). Like some Jewish people who thought that The Passion of the Christ was antisemetic, a pro Christian group has had a go at this, and it wasn't able to find a distributor in the USA and Italy. It's a pity really as this film is actually quite good. The acting by all members of the cast is pretty strong and the score supporting them is excellent. There are unsurprisingly lots of 'Blu-Ray shots' in this and the CGI of the old city of Alexandria is well done. 6.5/10

Unless I'm totally misinterpreting I think Kitten is jokingly referring to this forum.
