Chaotic & Non-Sensical; like watching a bunch of GoPro YouTube videos

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2017)

I know this film is getting rave reviews by almost everyone, but in all honesty...I thought it stunk. From the very first moments, I felt like I was watching a bunch of GoPro videos on YouTube that were stitched together. The screenshots are very chaotic & non-sensical. To make my point, there are multiple scenes where it's nighttime and it's dark and flames all around, then the very next scene it's broad daylight with sunshine & blue sky. The director cuts repeatedly from ships being torpedoed, Spitfire aerial dogfights, men standing on a long causeway. This film has minimal dialogue in fact there's very little acting at all...it's all explosions, sinking ships & dogfights.
In the end, the one absolutely amazing moment was Kenneth Branagh viewing the wide panoramic vista of English civilian boats sailing in to rescue the trapped army.
Before going to the theater, I spent time reading Encyclopedia Britannica as well as Wikipedia too as I wanted to know the real "factual" history. Thankfully, this tale is extremely close to the truth with only one exception and that'd be the huge numbers of soldiers that were captured by Nazi Germans as POWs.
