Wow, what are other people watching?

Rating: 3/10 (7 December 2017)

This movie came across as sterile, in the extreme.
It really did look like what it was - a big budget movie based on events from 1940 shot on location in 2017!
I find it hard to believe this movie had a budget of circa $100 million.
The aerial action scenes were just not exciting - they should have been with the budget involved.
The whole 'panorama' of human activity in this movie just seemed listless and bereft of any heart/passion.
Perhaps this is someones interpretation of how the operation developed, but somehow it just does not captures the rawness of war for me.
After watching Hacksaw ridge a while back (and thoroughly enjoying it)this just did not work on any level for me.
I really could not get engaged with any of the characters, the visuals I did not find particularly awe inspiring and there was little sense of urgency - which led to a feeling that whatever action was being portrayed it almost felt out of context and didn't matter anyway.
Momentum was not built up in this movie and the differing stories being developed (the aerial, the rescue and what was going on, on the beach) did not bring the story to any fulfilling conclusion.
