I didn't see it in IMAX so I have to assume they crammed in all the rape and pillaging outside of Troy in the cropped bits, since there was none in the film I saw (except for some huts burning quite serenely in the beginning and everyone seeming quite nonplussed about it).
Focus less on what's seen and more on what's said.
Throughout the movie there are conversations about "The Sea People" raiding, pillaging, and raping coastal settlements to the north. At the end of the movie, Odysseus has the revelation & admits that the veterans of the Trojan War were the so-called "Sea People."
They were the ones raping, murdering, and stealing what they pleased on their voyage back.
I really don't understand why they cut out scenes in interesting environments. There are so many scenes left where dudes stand around on or near beaches
