Some good some bad

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2017)

**May contain spoilers** First off, this movie is nowhere near a 10/10. The lack of character depth/development alone bars it from approaching that. In fact, the only character you every really care about is Farrier (Tom Hardy's character). He seems to be the only character that that is still taking the fight to the enemy while everyone else is just "surviving". Some of the other characters die but you just don't really care. You can't distinguish them from any other soldier/sailor you see.
Next, though I admire Nolan for trying something different with the three different setting/different timed ride, it just didn't work for me. He definitely tried to bring it together toward the end of the film but for the majority of the film you were just trying check off a list in your head that the sea scene was in this order compared to the air scene compared to the Mole scene. Again, good idea but it maybe was just a little too cute for its own good.
Last, the visuals and music were outstanding. The scene of Farrier's plane coasting toward the end of the movie was just fantastic as well as most of the battle scenes.
In closing, I think this movie needed much more character development, dialogue (I can only remember one line from the movie "You can almost see it") and perhaps a reason to actually cheer for all of these poor souls left stranded on the beach at Dunkirk. Worth seeing but not an all-time great.
