Epic

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2020)

One of the reasons I watched the movie was because of the Golden Globe win and the interesting camera work, but I witnesed something really special.
The outstanding cinematography brings to life the WW1 battlefield and it feels so real and "magical" at the same. The amount of months that were invested in this piece is impressive. The main characters did a great job, the only thing I noticed was that there wasn't much to their background, it was just kind of a mediocre character built honestly. Roger Deakins deserves an Oscar nomination for the camera work and so does Thomas Newman, for the soundtrack. The music is very memorable and melodic. There are scenes conducted by Sam Mendes that make all the film departments work together and those are one of the most satisfying scenes I have seen in a decade.
It's a great film to end the year with. If you are intersted in history and love a good piece of drama, then I highly recommend it. The tension is real!
