Dunkirk

The movie is told by the excellence in **editing**, **photography**, **score** (by Hans Zimmer) and **visual/practical effects**.
From the moment which the viewer notices that it is a non-linear narrative told in 3 (or more) points of view, the film becomes visceral, thrilling and captivating. It gives the sense of failure and weight on those soldiers' shoulders during the many days that they suffered from German's soldiers [spoiler] (which only appeared 2 seconds in the whole movie) [/spoiler]. You feel the human sacrifice, courage and fear that was on that beach, with all of the people waiting to their death or salvation. You experience and live the patriotism of the civilians which adventure themselves to the sea to rescue their own.
**Dunkirk is a singular masterpiece** that recreates one of the _miraculous_ periods of World War II.

In one word: AMAZING

Watched this last night on IMAX. Really unique. The dogfights in the air were incredible. And that sound... i almost shaked off my seat :)

Dunkirk gets top marks all around. An outstanding 10/10 are the only numbers I've calculated.

Christopher Nolan has now solidified his name forever when it comes to naming who had the Midas touch in film making for the last decade+.

Behold the assault on your senses...all of them.

Dunkirk, from the very start straps you in, forces you to take a deep breath and then grabs those senses and never let them go for the better part of an hour and 35 mins.

The sense of urgency you get begins immediately. The visuals are breathtaking. The audio effects immensely impressive. It chases you left and right, from the bottom and from above. You'll tilt your head during some of the flying scenes. That's a rather a neat trick without 3D/VR. 65mm really shines here, filming at its finest I'd say (the whole movie is shot entirely in 65mm and boy does it look fantastic, a true work of art). To get that feeling and the 'I was in awe' cinematography and sound experience you should...no, need to watch this film in a 4K/Dolby Atmos equipped theater or if available in your area, IMAX 70mm. Nothing else will cut it and nothing else will immerse your senses, nothing. Dunkirk will for sure be the showcase Demo Disc for home theater retailers and those wanting to test their Atmos or DTS:X setups. It needs to be said again, this film has some of the most incredible sounds and cinematography ever captured thus far. Making it a sure contender for an Oscar win or 2. Best Picture of the year so far for me. It could very well sweep the Academy Awards in 2018 in at least 3 categories.

Hans Zimmer, make way for another Oscar on that shelf. With the masterful crescendo scoring, no one else in the business could have brought my senses to the climax that I experienced. Take a bow and know your legacy and film contributions can never be questioned and hardly replicated today by others, period.

From the start, I felt as if I was being pursued by Jaws! I felt like I was drowning at one point. I felt like I was flying and in an aerial dogfight the next. Incredible combination all around, gentlemen. Incredible.

The acting is certainly beyond reproach, no question. Skilled directing and producing are a must, but the efforts Nolan and Co put into this film could have been lost if the actors didn't bring their full potential, to convey the desperate situation these men and women found themselves in, waiting to be rescued, all hope just about lost, spirits broken and home yearning. The assembled cast must share in any and all accolades bestowed upon Dunkirk.

This my friends, is film making at its Pinnacle!

Pros:
+ Dunkirk depicts and reveals the scale of the event on all levels: Land, air, and sea
+ Glorious cinematography (by Hoyte Van Hoytema) and editing (by Lee Smith) adding significantly to the experience
+ Electrifying soundtrack by Hans Zimmer
+ Loud and fulfilling sound effects from the diving Stukas to the distant machine gun shots
+ Your heart will keep pounding due to the blend of senses emitted by the visuals and audio
+ Great cast and chemistry through actions (Dialog is limited)
+ Nolan throws the audience right in the middle of WAR.
+ The whole movie focusses on the event itself instead of on a couple of soldiers. Hence, the lack of strong character development which I thought was awesome and a wise choice by Nolan

Cons:
- Music at times might feel too loud thus covering the dialog

Dunkirk must be experienced in IMAX!

Plot Complexity:
Easy

Best Movie Quote:
Men my age dictate this war. Why should we be allowed to send our children to fight it?

please dont rate movies before you watch them! this is an actual 10/10. Beautiful, Excellent, Cristopher Nolan's Masterpiece, emotional, full of great action, thrilling, PERFECT

I had never liked a war so much. Do not misunderstand my words, this movie is a work of art. "Bravo!". The actors indicated for the role, Styles and Tom were fantastic. Thanks Nolan, you never disappoint

Hans Zimmer fucking KILLED IT

This movie is fucking amazing! It gets straight to the point immediately. The story is not over complicated with unnecessary garbage and its a modern history based film under 2 hours. As well as having a great soundtrack from Hans Zimmer. Christopher Nolan did a great job with this film telling on of the most heroic and war altering story's in history and made you care about the characters with little dialog and without throwing typical Hollywood crap in and weighing down the film. With a great cast. This was such a massive morale boost for the U.K. in WWII. The war would have gone much, much different if the U.K. citizens didnt risk their lives to save those soldiers.

_Dunkirk_ is another exceptional WWII movie that stands alongside cinematic classics like _Saving Private Ryan_ and _Fury_. The film's excellent cinematography is truly breathtaking and transports the viewer to the heart of the intense battle. Tom Hardy delivers a great performance, capturing the bravery and determination of the pilots fighting in the skies above Dunkirk. Overall, _Dunkirk_ is a must-see movie for anyone who loves war movies or appreciates excellent filmmaking.
