1917

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2020)

Story - 8 out of 10
A bit far fetched at times and the timeline/distances themselves never really make sense. However, it is totally engrossing and you are happy to believe every moment of it.
Acting/Characters - 8 out of 10
A little weak to start off with but there are so many powerful and emotional moments throughout that you have yourself wondering how can this be the same film.
Cinematography/Costume - 8 out of 10
Beautiful cinematography without being spectacular, the attention to detail on the uniforms and set designs are very impressive. The running scene at the end is one of my most favourite cinematic moments of all time.
Soundtrack - 7 out of 10
Explosive and haunting all at the same time. Dialogue is clear and easy to understand.
Overall - 8 out of 10
1917 is a war movie that doesn't rely on extreme levels of gore and brutality to have you gasping for air by the end of it. The constant suspense and overall tone of the film will have far more of an effect on you. Amazing movie!
