Decent War Movie with flaws

Rating: 6/10 (1 February 2020)

This film, overall, was decent. There were a lot of great moments throughout the film. The visual effects were excellent, and performances were great.
The structure of making the film feel like one shot was interesting. At first it worked really well, but then as the movie progressed it became more and more noticeable as to where the cuts were, and it felt more and more pointless.
The story works, but the main problem is that it is too basic. The entire film is essentially about two people and one goal. There are some great action scenes as the two people went through struggles, but overall the story could've been improved. The soundtrack to the film was fantastic, but the movie seemed to rely on it too much.
1917 is by no means a bad war movie. For me, it was an entertaining experience and I don't regret watching it. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near a masterpiece and I expected better.
