Not bad BUT!!!

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2020)

I'm not gonna say I didn't enjoy it I came out the cinema thinking I hadn't been ripped off like I have with many films recently but and here's the problem with 1917 the story is very simple the 2 soldiers have to get from A to B to deliver a message that could save hundreds of lives including one of the soldiers brother's but what happens on their journey is a bit unbelievable and convenient I'm trying not to give anything away storywise but it felt a bit to rushed to me like they spent all the money on cinematography and direction (which is outstanding) and didn't spend to much time on the actual script, there are certain parts of the film where I just thought "come on that's a bit lucky innit" and it happens a few times in the film which ruined it a bit for me but it is worth a watch just for the cinematography and direction which is definitely the best I've seen in a long time.
