Use just one of those millions and hire a script writer

Rating: 2/10 (6 August 2017)

The only reason for 2 stars instead of 1 is the cinematography. Make no mistake: this was a horrible movie -- not just boring but horrible. The characters, if you can call them that, were undeveloped and unlikable. How can you care about a character if they haven't even got a name? Nothing but a hodge podge of "intense" scenes, one after the other, and yet they all look alike after a few minutes.
There was no attempt to tell the inspiring story of Dunkirk. If you didn't happen to know it (and certainly if you came in one minute late, after the silly title card intro), you'd be completely lost. But then why would you think this was about Dunkirk anyway? How could you mistake the couple of hundred soldiers on a beach, three pilots, two ships, and one fishing boat for a story about the Dunkirk rescue? (My mistake, by the end there were maybe a dozen boats.)
Where did the money go? Certainly not to CGI where they could have beefed up the numbers accurately. Certainly not to an actual screen- writer who might have given us a narrative. It must have gone towards having all those glorious BS rave reviews written.
And don't get me started on the soundtrack. Hans Zimmer should be ashamed of himself. 7000 measures of the same loud droning strings!
