Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2020)

(Short Review)
Movie Name - 1917
Director - Sam Mendes

This movie is better than Dunkirk for sure but still no big gem or anything. This movie's story is average and with same drama of many war movies. The reason putting this over Dunkirk is cuz of its execution and direction overall. The writing was nothing profound but this movie's direction is pretty smooth, and with that direction, the whole movie's experience is watchable and feels soothing to experience it. The open-world here is really a big plus point of this movie. The universe is filled with detail and a proper detail indeed. The soldier were shown in many personalities of their own, this is something Dunkirk highly lacked and even when they changed personality of any character it was done in such one-dimensional way and also, with weird dramatic way, it was feeling more fabricated than it feels in this movie. The subtle maturity and a life in characters is more visible in this movie than Dunkirk. The gimmick of one-shot worked perfectly for an intense journey of a soldier.
