What an Experience!

Rating: Null/10 (13 January 2020)

I can say with confidence that this is my favorite war movie and one of my favorite movies overall.
I was worried that the way it's shot (to seem like it's all in one shot) would be little more than a gimmick, but it really brings you in to feel like you're there with the characters. You'll find yourself constantly looking past the characters to see if there is some danger that they aren't aware of, and you never get a chance to feel comfortable.
With the movie essentially all one shot, I was worried that character development would suffer. I can say that you will become attached to the characters and really care about them. They become your war buddies and you will root for them to succeed.
The cinematography left me in awe throughout this movie. There were multiple scenes that really stood out, but there is one where lights are coming randomly from different directions. That scene was so terrifyingly beautiful, which essentially this movie in a nutshell.
If you're looking for a war movie with constant action and gun fights then this isn't the movie you're looking for. This will take you for a journey with all its ups and downs.
