Visually outsanding, but at some moments monotone

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2018)

As an ardent fan of Christopher Nolan films, I have to say this movie was definitely not one of the better films. It was a great cinematic experience and, in fact, the film is adrenaline-rushing at some points, but sometimes some scenes tend to be overlong and static. I guess the director wanted to take a different path this time making a movie that, as a matter of fact, isn't standard for him. There were unknown actors, and the idea of them portraying "tiny" soldiers is actually a well-thought concept, which is actually what war is. The bigger and more important names in Hollywood represented more important characters, which is also an interesting concept. While I was sitting in the cinema, it felt, undoubtedly, as if there's an actual war in progress, so sound editing and cinematography are brought to a tee. Especially the scenes with Fighter planes. However, as stated before, there wasn't really a story inside this movie, just many characters and their psychological profiles, which is why it felt boring at times. Maybe there was an idea or a deeper message that many didn't quite understand, which is why this movie is rated this way.
