Another Great War Movie

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2017)

Short and sweet, was this move outstanding? In my opinion, no. Was it good? Absolutely. Do I recommend seeing it in the theater? Yes. There is plenty of action that feels and sounds better at the movie theater.
Now, The movie was not outstanding, and not Nolan's best work (hard to top The Dark Knight). However, It definitely was a very interesting and well-done film. The action scenes are definitely there, and I always felt like I was on the edge of my seat.
There is a constant track playing in the background of nearly the entire movie that gets your heart rate up a little bit, and just adds to the already thrilling adventure. There's not really a "story" like there is in other war movies (i.e. Saving Private Ryan, Hacksaw Ridge, etc...) There is a plot, which is mainly rescuing the British soldiers from Dunkirk, but it doesn't feel like a cohesive story. However, it works... somehow...
The two characters who were most prominent in the movie rarely spoke, but that doesn't feel like a negative. I think it was actually a brilliant move, sort of to show how intense war was. They seemed so shook up all the time, like they weren't even able to talk at all.
All in all, between the wonderful musical composition, and Nolan's superior directing and writing skills, this was a good movie. I don't think you need to rush to the movie theater to see it as soon as possible, but I would recommend seeing it at some point.
7/10
*This is my first review, hopefully I did okay for writing it at 1 in the morning! I look forward to writing many more in the future!*
