Like watching an ant farm with tense music

Rating: 4/10 (3 January 2018)

Thats what I literally felt when watching this. You see a lot of people there, a lot of bustle, but you don't feel any real connection to any of them. The most you feel connected to are most likely the three guys (son, father, friend) on the small boat, because you actually learn to know them better than any of the other guys.
Hell, I could even watch Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers for the Xth time and still feel the presence of the danger and threat hanging all over the place every minute. But here in Dunkirk everything is so flat. Three planes here, tense music. Cut. Long scene showing some soliders at the beach, tense music. Cut. Two planes there, tense music. Cut. A small ship floating over the sea, tense music. Cut.
Really expected more from this. Very disappointed.
