Very much a historical epic of yesteryear. THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE explores the political circumstances and characters that saw the Empire destroyed from within, and it's an expansive, engaging affair in which every penny of the budget has been put on the screen. You don't get this kind of lavish set-building and huge crowds/armies in films anymore, it's all created via cheaper CGI which is a real pity as this has an authenticity like few others. In an exemplary ensemble cast, Christopher Plummer stands out in a dangerous turn.
