The real story is better.
This is pure fantasy, with some time travel thrown in. I even think I saw Deadpool in one of the scenes.
Scott should have added a few fire-breathing dragons.
It would have been more realistic.
But with movies the way they are today, who am I to complain.

thank you for that, mirrored my thoughts to a T. Was thinking of logistics to flood a coliseum with enough waterproofing and water depth for battleships and...sharks... With seawater, in ancient Rome, on a whim... I even pulled a google map mid movie to remind myself how close Rome was to the sea (not that close) I mean, maybe but....
Guess I'm a curmudgeon now but I like my movies shooting for "realistic", even if not completely so... Say "Bourne" > "Beekeeper", or "the martian" > sharks in the coliseum.
