They do that a lot. Make main characters in historucal hoohas 40 or 50 when the dude was 20. Ignoring race, ibris Elba is cast as Hannibal, and that guy is old as fuck now. Hannibal wasn't. (Tho he also wasn't black)
I think Hollywood has devolved to a point that they think that some one who is authoritative must fit their childish conception of it, so old.

The Fall of the Roman Empire (film) - Wikipedia
It's not exact but I had a mindfuck seeing Commudus die in a Gladiator fight in a 60s movie.

I just saw this and it was terrible. Shitty acting and even worse screen play. Joaquin Phoenix was bored throughout the whole thing and they gave him stupidest lines to say. I think trying to condense Napolean's adult life into 2 hours was too much for the director and the screenwriter.

We can joke about this but I'd bet over 97% of Americans have no clue about anything Waterloo and 2% think it's an ABBA song. European history education was already on the decline 30 years ago and it was all but gone from my kids curriculum except when they voluntarily took AP Euro and comparative religion.
Maybe in a year or two we'll get a meme about how often men think about the decline of the great European empires. It's approaching Roman Empire frequency for me already.

I have. The show, and the books are underrated. I was reminded of them the other day when lazy fuck GRRM said he can't write as fast as Cornwell. No one can, but there's plenty of room between multiple books a year and none for a decade.

No.
True IMAX (film) is around 16K. Had a chance to talk to the Chief Projectionist who at the time was in charge of all Warren theater's. He felt it would be there some day. Said what you see in the cinema at that time was a proprietary 2K windows codec file off their servers for normal movies. That's been probably 5 years ago.

I just thought it was average. The battles were great but I also didn’t think the acting was good. This was one of those where it was more Phoenix cosplaying as Napoleon. The movie moves so fast from event to event. Was expecting more and walked out a little disappointed to be fair.

its the movie. he gets in akward social situations where he just plows right in through sheer force of weird behavior, then when combat starts he manages to autisticly pull through so he can go back to being a weirdo and akwardly flirt with a woman who barely seems interested.

Maybe I wont be watching this after all. It sounds like the history is bad and the story is chopped up too much to be interesting, so all that's left is the spectacle. If I liked spectacle only movies, I'd probably start with Avatar 2.
