so so movie

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2017)

I was disappointed. The cinematography and action sequences were excellent but it was almost like the movie consisted of a series of vignettes which were only connected by virtue of being part of the same movie. I understand that justice cannot be done to such a monumental event in a little under 2 hours but if one were to enter the movie knowing absolutely nothing about the events in the movie and the potential impact on the world, they would not leave the movie with a greater knowledge of the events.
There are many aspects of how the battle of Dunkirk was conducted. One of the major aspects was the influence London and Churchill had on the battle. This was pretty much overlooked in the movie which made it feel very disjointed.
