Interesting addition to war genre

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2017)

This isn't how war movies are usually made, and I can see why people have slight dislike towards it. Film tells about the event, not about the people caught in it, so they are treated more like tools for storytelling instead of as characters. Personally I have no problem with this, since there are enough character-driven films about war and I'm glad to see something different. I also think this suits Nolan just fine, because I've always seen him as a filmmaker more engineer-minded instead of as a storyteller. Visually this is indeed a spectacular film, composed with almost exclusively perfect shots. Film's structure with it's three interfering POV's could be seen as an easy gimmick to make film more memorable. For now it's the best movie of summer 2017.
