Yes, this film is adventurous and it is action packed, but it is something else: boring. The acting was dull and not convincing. I like films in historical settings very much so I watched the whole movie and was slightly entertained at times but I was happy that I had something to do aside so I won´t go asleep. As for historical accuracy: Forget what this film tells you about the battle of Alesia. It is all wrong except that Caesar won and Vercingetorix lost. (Not to be misunderstood: I do not expect historical accuracy of films like this.)
