  Christopher Nolan magic yet again. This movie was loud, moving, emotional, I think it gave the viewer a taste of the uncertainty of war. A couple complaints though, 1. The accents and background noise made it sometimes hard to hear he dialogue. 2. All of the main characters looked similar, had similar hair cuts, so it was hard to discern who was who. 3. Most of the actors who were waiting in the beach were wearing their helmet, except the characters that were being focused on, and I found that distracting. Overall you knew going in exactly what you were going to get a sad, loud, war pic and that's exactly what you get.

  Dunkirk was a good movie, but it could have been a great movie. While the film contains many of the trademarks aspects of Christopher Nolan films, they feel somewhat muted in this case. The visuals are superb, but the constant and unfortunately noticeable switching of aspect ratios really detracts from them. The writing is superb, but with the movies large cast and short run time, the characters feel underdeveloped. The ending, while realistic in nature, doesn’t feel quite as cinematic as one might hope. Overall, it’s worth a watch, but it certainly doesn’t rank among Nolan’s best.

  Dunkirk was visually spectacular boasting breathtaking cinematography featuring sprawling horizons that really stand out in the aerial dogfight sequences. Seeing the film in IMAX really made these scenes breathtaking. The sound effects help create an ambiance of panic stricken fear accompanied by the fairly realistic battle scenes which aren't really over the top as I don't believe any CGI was utilized. The story and character development lack though and the movie feels a bit empty on this front. I can understand the storyline being a bit thin as it can easily be summed up by reading the tagline to the film, but the movie doesn't take enough time to develop the main characters enough for the audience to really connect with and care for them which I found unfortunate. Overall, this film is still worth the watch and has many strong attributes.

  Beautiful scenery and excellent sound track. I really felt the pain, suffering and agony of the soldiers who did their duty and service at Dunkirk. The movie really captured all the elements of this war and then some. Highly recommend Alexander Nolan's epic movie. Oscar-worthy for sure. Bravo! Would go back and see it a 2nd time.

  I think this will be an Oscar movie. Its beautifully shot and has a lot of heart. Its filmed in an "artsy" way that the Academy likes but not in a pretentious way that a laymen viewer can still appreciate. Hardly any speaking parts to this movie, which was pretty impressive. It was all about the actors emoting the hardships of war. Now because its an "Oscar" film...it will probably get a lot of hype that it's some fantastic film...so I want to make clear that I don't feel its a movie for the masses. You have to like this type of genre of film. If you like war movies and movies about grit survival then consider seeing it. Keep in mind, there's no grand cinematic visual effects and crazy action sequences. Its a story told in a unique way and a story that leaves you feeling hopeful about humanity. I myself recommend it. Go see it.

  Intense film making at it's finest. From the cinematography, to the unnerving and pulse inducing score, definitely an amazing experience. One of the best war based films I've ever seen.

  This movie really impressed me. I generally do not like war films as such; but this was so moving. At times, I found myself leaning in for more of the action and overall efect / experience of the ??. I was truly engrossed by the cinematography. Worth seeing, a home run in my book ?? ??
