Worth seeing, but not Nolans Masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2017)

Dunkirk review spoiler free unless you know how history turns out lol. First impressions: sound effects are loud, makes me feel like I'm in a war, music from Zimmer is great and at times I felt like it sounded very Similar to interstellar soundtrack. The pacing is pretty quick through the whole movie and it does jump back in forth between characters (air, sea, beach, civilian boat). You get a blend of thriller/war feel as each character life is constantly put in danger. This is NOT saving private Ryan or band of brothers. The violence as intense at all; their are lots of explosions, bombs, dog fights, sinking ships, and chaotic swimming; but you won't see men bleeding out on the beach or picking up body parts. This movie is very much focused on the navy and air aspect of the Battle of Dunkirk. Hardly any land gunfights at all. You won't see men storming bunkers or fighting house to house. Favorite character was the old man boat captain. Hardy does well but has a face mask on most of the time (doesn't sound like Bane think god). Harry Stiles actually did well and is placed as a Everyman character that just wants to get home. Interstellar, The Dark Knight and Inception are better movies than this one IMO but you can definitely tell this has Nolans fingerprints all over it. Overall 7/10
