A bold attempt on conventional storytelling.. Defines its own genre

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2017)

Is it possible for a movie with no clear plot line or any character development to keep its viewer fully occupied and focused? Nolan made it happen with this magnificent display of cinematic mastery.
The movie presents itself as a simple series of events seen through the eyes of various unnamed characters, you will not require any information or background story about them, the powerful illustration of the events that they are going through is a sufficient introduction to these tormented soldiers.
Nolan emphasized those very trivial details of a story that are often ignored due to them being overshadowed by the main storyline, but in this movie, they are the storyline, they connect beautifully through the eyes of those unknown characters, as every event might seem insignificant when you compare it to the war itself, but in the eyes of those soldiers those horrific moments will leave an eternal scar on them.
These moments or mini-scenes are shared by all the characters in the movie as you will experience every one of those breathtaking moments multiple times from multiple perspectives, each perspective is a totally different experience filled with its highs, lows and twists.
The scenes are presented in an unusual way, the timeline is a barrage of events with different time stamps, some preceded other scenes while some were happening at the exact same time as many of the following senes but from a different angle, Nolan showed us that tilting the camera in another direction can show us a totally different story than what's happening on the other side of the camera.
This masterpiece of a movie just raised the bar for all filmmakers, how Nolan captured a simple escape scene in the most breathtaking and thought-provoking way is a cinematic triumph that will be praised for generations to come.
