When an epic movie works, it’s unlike anything else the medium of film can offer. Epic movies are all about scale and scope, usually having long runtimes, large budgets, detailed sets, tons of extras, and stories that span a great deal of time and/or feature numerous characters. Think titles like Lawrence of Arabia, Seven Samurai, and Gladiator. There’s so much that goes into epic movies that even those that are flawed tend to have aspects that stand out or prove engaging.
