while the film is a visually arresting piece of cinema, the disc itself is barebones.....Synopsis:The tale is simple, yet a surprisingly powerful one.....if they were watching actual events and that someone had merely captured intense footage of real people doing factual activities.....We do gain some insight into the arduous processes of recreating an entire civilization with fantastically enormous sets and hundreds of extras..... ...
