They did deliver to make it an epic with detailed wide shots, chaotic fight scenes, and suspenseful predicaments. The score and sound worked perfectly to bring the loudness and silence for the part.

Though some may find the creative elements not conventional like the accents and dialogue, it eventually fades as the story progresses. I did appreciate the utilization of the IMAX format with the wide shots of the sea and landscapes. The film also feels like a mix of his styles from his past films like The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Inception - a subtle mark in his works.
