What event?

Rating: 5/10 (7 December 2017)

I usually love Christopher Nolan's movies but I was waiting for a plot in this one, and it just never came.
Nolan wrote this movie on his own. Big mistake. I'm sorry but without his brother Jonathan, Christopher Nolan seems to have absolutely no clue about how to write a story.
Dunkirk is just a series of scenes ideas stitched together without any semblance of a plot emerging from the whole thing. In fact, 30 minutes after the beginning, we still don't even know the names of the characters!
The worst is that for an "event that shaped the world" nothing really spectacular actually happens. I was expecting a battle and all I got was soldiers trying to flee France on boats while being shot at by planes. That's not a battle, that's just people-being- shot-at-by-a-plane.
I'm giving it 5/10 for the effort, but Mr Nolan, please, next time, get a f***ing writer.
