Surprisingly Unmoving

Rating: 5/10 (29 March 2020)

For the hype and billing, this British WWI story should have moved the viewer with story and acting, but it just never gets where it's going. The story is flat and slow, and lacks the connection and power that successful major war epics achieve. With the derth of quality war pictures in recent years, the timing of 1917's release gave it the potential to be the next great war saga. Disappointingly, the derth continues.
