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.

Hey thats good, i paid 61 bucks for a couple seat which i shared with my dad. The thing about imax is best to sit middle, or just slightly above middle row. |

QUOTE(Chrono-Trigger @ Jul 22 2017, 10:44 AM) Where is the best seat? I tried the cheapo standard front rows(first half of the theater) and the experience really suck because too front. Today I will try the Premium seats (second half of the theater). So should I select the mid-row of the Premium seats ? I'm not sure which cinema it is, but usually, for Imax, thats the best position from middle to 2 rows up, or 2 rows bottom from the middle. Just take the middle to be safe. Based on imax, the floor can be steep. From this picture you will understand what i saying.  This post has been edited by azbro: Jul 22 2017, 01:19 PM |

QUOTE(greyshadow @ Jul 24 2017, 08:34 AM) Are we supposed to feel connected to the young chap in the boat? Nope, not connected to him at all even at the end, just feel meh. He felt just like an unnecessary filler. oh well, if you're looking for an emotional & brutal war story like Saving Private Ryan or Hacksaw Ridge, skip it, as you'll be disappointed. But nontheless, it's still a very good war movie, a PG13 war movie. Nolan tried to pull a fast one using the Spitfire pilot in the end to make ppl feel compassionate when he got captured. Yup, didnt connect at all |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 24 2017, 04:11 PM) The closest anyone ever got to war in a film is the Omaha beach sequence in SPR. This has a few sprinkling of scenes almost approaching that -- in particular the feeling of hopelessness when a bomber is flying toward you and you have no where to hide on the beach -- but on a sustained level this is not even close to SPR's infamous sequence. To me, Nolan tried too hard at combining a minimalist, contemplative piece with war sequences. It tries to be a cross between SPR and Mallick. And fails. It isn't that none of the characters resonate (that's still fine), but each scene feels mechanically distant and impersonal, as of the director was trying so hard not to avoid making a typical direct war movie that it ends up feeling so sterile. Almost like a documentary. Fuck realism if it makes things boring. The dogfights in this are dogshite. Yes, I wanna to see debris, limbs and bodies fly all over the place like Hacksaw Ridge, Flags of Our Father just to name a few , I wanna see war torn buildings like those in Enemy at the Gates, I wanna see head get blown off like most of the war movies, I wanna see waves until I get seasick, I wanna see lasers like starwars ...ups..wrong example...crazy aerial dogfights like those in Pearl Harbor, Red Baron, I wanna see thousands of boats like Troy, I wanna cry for those that died, i wanna feel sympathy for the spitfire pilot and those in the boats, and parents and family that will never see their love ones, I wanna Hero to follow.. I didn't come to hear only fantastic Audio.....Fuck PG13, I want R version!!! This post has been edited by azbro: Jul 24 2017, 05:17 PM |
