Looking forward to it. However epic movies today have a certain sameness caused by CGI.
Remember the movie Waterloo? Not a complete movie about Napoleon by any means: pretty much exclusively focusing on his last battle and the personalities involved, but it was prefaced with the events that led to his first downfall and exile to Elba, plus his return to France and the events leading up to the actual battle of Waterloo. The historical accuracy was pretty much right on: No CGI back then: the battle scenes were filmed with literally thousands of actors, mainly soldiers of the Russian army which were used for the scenes. Well worth seeing, even today.
