I forgot almost all of the movie but the portrayal of the Gaugamela is breathtaking. They could do better job with Persian equipment.. but Alexander's cavalry action was awesome to see. Also it showed well just how terrifying phalanx advance was. I was reading Xenophon recently and I thought it did awesome job showing why most other troops just ran when confronted with that.

Xenophon is awesome reading. I really hope there will be a film of it at some point.
