A technical marvel without human emotions

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2017)

In a scene, Tom hardy saves thousands of lives by making a fighter plane go down to ashes. But the scene had no impact on me as an audience. This is in fact the problem with this aesthetically perfect movie. We do not feel for the soldiers at any point of time. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is overused to such an extent that the focus goes to the music score instead of the visuals. Dunkirk could have done so any things right just by having a higher run-time. In 100 odd minutes, the movie just, don't move us. It had all the perfect components for a movie that would remain in our hearts for times to come, but getting out of the cinema hall, only the burger I had in between remained with me. Not the best Nolan film Not the best war film Not even the best film of the year
