Intense!

Hmm... no reviews yet. July 21 release.

Ok, I'm in...

Nolan's most critically acclaimed film yet? Looking really good.



Hopefully TGV will be showing this, then IMAX would do justice.

Bought tics. Glorious IMAX 2D it is (1U). Can't wait.

No 'plot'.

No 'heroes'.

No 'Hi, my name is Bob.'

No 'sitting around camp fire talking stories.'

You are THROWN into the event of Dunkirk from the first minute. To the last.

This is the closest anyone of us will get to experience WWII.

Immersive.

And in my opinion, the best depiction of war ever captured on film.

Nolan has delivered a masterpiece.

Watched it in IMAX, and let me assure you, sound editing/mixing, contender for Oscar.

The opening sequence of Tommy running through the narrow streets and then onto the beach.... WOW!

The camera pans from left to right, and the vastness of the beach... you can literally taste it.

I was a little confused with the 'land/sea/air' timing at first.

When I spotted a certain character (again) at a certain scene, I was like .... Ohhhh..... Nolan, why can't you just stick to conventional timing.

This is how he intended the film to be.

"Let's focus on the event, let's make it a thriller."

With very little characterization, in the end you might not feel for anyone. That could pose a problem if you were rooting for someone.

Also, since there was no real 'plot', you might be left bewildered as to what this event was all about.

I loved the three perspectives. Farrier looks out the cockpit, he sees an overturned vessel.

Moments later, we are on that vessel.

There are so many stunning moments in the film it is hard to pick one.

"Dunkirk" is raw, vicious and downright eerily real in so many ways.

This is truly what movies are meant for.

Putting YOU the audience in the midst of it all.

The music is terrifying, the use of clockwork sounds/ticking and the ramping of the music during key moments, Hans Zimmer has delivered the goods.

Worth watching again? Absolutely. There are no 'Hollywood' effects of planes exploding, there are no over the top explosions, this is as real as it gets. Watching it again will see you truly appreciating the three perspectives IMO.

9.5/10

A MUST WATCH ON 'IMAX'!

"Logan", "War for the Planet of the Apes", "Dunkirk". The best of 2017 thus far.

I believe he was running out of fuel and he was too low to eject.

As real as it can get... scary stuff. This film managed to capture the horrors of war with little to no dialogue.

IMAX did justice for this film. The roaring sounds of the planes, the gunfire, the explosions - - incredible.

Dare I say, this is one of those rare films you have to see on IMAX to truly grasp the nature/horrors of the story.

This is simply brilliant. Just comes to show that a great film can transcend time. No need for hi-fi visuals or sounds. Simply, the power of visual storytelling.
