Great movie. More accurate than most historical epics. They did a great job of recreating famous paintings of the battle, such as Lady Butler's "Scotland Forever!":

Ney's cavalry charges are shot from a crane:

then a helicopter:

then even higher from the copter to show the British infantry squares under attack:

Incredible visuals!
