Torrent description

Troy: Age of Achilles

This is an extensive reworking of Troy that makes Achilles the main protagonist, not Hector and Paris. The romance between Paris and Helen is merely the instrument that brings Achilles to Troy.

Most of the dialogue and backstory for Hector, Paris, Helen, and Priam are greatly reduced. There is also less talk of the Gods and fewer scenes with priests and temples. A lot of the exposition around the politics of the war has also been cut.

With more than a third of the movie cut, the final result is a quicker-paced, action-oriented movie with elements of adventure and romance, and a clear protagonist for the audience to follow.

Original runtime: 3h 05m (without credits)
New runtime: 1h 46m (79 minutes cut)
Video: 854 x 418, H.264, 1660kbps
Audio: 48kHz, AAC, 128kbps, Stereo
