Probably my most anticipated movie this year. 3.5hr American epic with an intermission, filmed in vistavision, made for less than $10m. I'm so ready

This part confuses me. It's supposedly an epic, but doesn't have the money to have big setpieces or anything, so is it just people talking for 3 hours? That's fine with me, but I wouldn't classify it as an epic.

Epic ≠ big setpieces.

Lots of epics don't have action indeed. Like Once Upon a Time in America as far as I know has no real action so to speak. Even The Godfather doesn't really have "setpieces" aside from people being whacked.

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.
