Just came back from watching dunkirk in imax.

This is the best movie that utilizes the full potential of imax. And the sound. Holy sheett.. the sound of the spitfire. The sound of incoming bombs. Pls, watch this movie in imax as intended. I honestly think the sound effect is better than the imax camera visual lmao.

As for the movie itself. I thought it was pretty good. Story wise, it is simple. But nolan being nolan, lets just say that he manages to confuse some folks despite the simple storyline with signature nolan narrative structure laugh.gif wont spoil that for you.

Not much of character development going on, due to the way nolan directing this specific movie (as per the above description in previous paragraph). But there's never a dull moment in it due to very tight directing work from nolan.

Overall, a very good movie, technical masterclass from nolan. not my favorite nolan movie but still worth the imax ticket admission.

Solid 4/5 from me

Just watched it last night in imax2d, brought my dad to see it too.

For me, the movie was just.... Too clean.

No Gore, no Grit, not enough action, no sadness, no love..Not enough of everything.
And looks like all the Uniforms, equipment and vehicles just come out of factory the day before...just too clean

Anyway i liked the way Nolan did the timeline between land, water and sea to make it 'connected' and "edge of the seat" feeling and 'mind fuck' effect

Pity, this is nothing like Hacksaw Ridge or any of the top war movies for me.

Better save money and watch normal cinema. Cos except for the air dogfights and choppy sea, i dun see the need for imax.
But the sound directional for superb.

4/10 for me... Pity... .thats why never have high hopes before watching a movie...oklah..I give it 5/10 for the great sound effects

But think about it, yes, history shows the ppl were saved by the small boat ppl, but do you know how many small boats it takes to carry out 300,000 trrops? Lets say 300,000 / 30 per boat..yes, 10,000 boats, ok, lets say 5,000 boats enough oledi, but how many small boats you need in that movie? 10? 15 max? I expected more epic out of it.

great sound effects are part of imax experience. so i do still suggest people to go for imax just for the sound system alone.
