The scenes play like something you would find in a serialised graphic novel, some frames are overly drawn (with dramatic music). The way the script constantly switches between dialogue and the historians is unappreciated, because is the way it paces past dramatic bits just leaves big blanks. Several historical inaccuracies are present in the script. The historians also never mention any names of any primary authors or sources, historical contentions are just that. The script also favours showing a scene with Alexander kissing Hephaestion rather than being mentored by Plato. I doubt the former is what led to Alexander continuing to be revered today. You won't appreciate this as a fan of the Classics unless its props or eye-candy you're after. I wouldn't be surprised to see the prop-maker win more awards than the rest of the crew.
The videography however, props and lighting are phenomenal though.
