Dunkirk - Best war movie ever

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2017)

It was great but my expectations were way too high. There bound to be two kinds of audiences for this movie - absolute lovers & absolute haters, but no in-between'ers.
Christopher Nolan weaves the magic once again after the dark night trilogy, inception, and interstellar, but this time in Dunkirk,he solely focuses of one aspect of emotion - tension/uncertainty!
It's not an epic, just keeping it short for 1 and half hours. The theme I liked is the way Nolan portrayed all the 3 aspects of war ie., land, sea, air intertwined in WW2.
The intense music that keeps us on edge of the seats, brilliant cinematography that keeps us glued to the screens till end, and the battle sequences including air to air combat are just mind blowing.
I can say this is the best war movie I watched after Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. Nolan's intention was to capture the mood of the WW2 and transport the audiences to that 1940's era right in the middle of war zone and he achieved that 100%.
Movie has almost docu-drama feel to it given the nature of war theme back to back juggling among land, sea, and air combats. Almost no CGI was used in this movie.
Undoubtedly, Nolan is one of the best directors in the world and Dunkirk is one of the best movies Hollywood has ever produced. All the technical aspects, be it sound mixing, editing, effects, or shot-taking.
This one is the best contender for this year's Oscars!
