Zimmer>Nolan

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2017)

*Pausing my inner Nolan fanboy-ism for a moment*
Christopher Nolan virtually transports us to the epicenter of Dunkirk like a time machine. This is one of the most immersive films in recent times and I love the fact that it's not 3D.
From the first scene, every gun shot, bomb, engine noise sounds dramatically real, along with that mind altering Hans Zimmer soundtrack the movie psychologically keeps you in a state of fear and panic till the end. Hans Zimmer is on a league of his own. His masterful rendition of creating the perfect atmosphere through sound is second to none. The cinematography too is equally breathtaking!
But this has to be his least Nolanesque film. The movie is not intellectually complex nor is the screenplay nonlinear. You won't remember any character or connect with them deeply except of course Tom Hardy that too only slightly. The full movie felt like an extended climax to a prequel. There is still that elemental mix of black and white, where you've lost even though you've won themes he takes in his films.
Truly worth watching in IMAX if you get the chance.
Cheers!
PS: Hopefully Nolan soon rises..because he can take it, because he's not our hero, he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight.
