An Experience

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2017)

This isn't a movie. It's an experience. So I treated it as such and walked away...disoriented, since you really feel like you are there. Watch it in IMAX 70mm 15/70 rather than 5 perf 70mm.
For an American like me, I'm not entirely sure what the big deal was. But to Brits it meant a lot. When the stranded soldiers are desperately wanting to get off the island, the German soldiers were closing in. Problem...you never fully sense the horror of the war like the beginning of "Saving Private Ryan" Instead, you get a relatively quiet movie based on a rescue mission. The battle was an absolute failure but the victory was in its retreat. Interesting concept.
With most of Nolan's movies...what can you expect except total immersion. For that...what an accomplishment. For others who hate on Nolan for being...Nolan, you probably will hate on this too.
