Dunkirk is not what you might expect

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2017)

Dunkirk is not an epic journey, Dunkirk is not an immersive story, Dunkirk is not a brilliantly complicated screenplay, Dunkirk is not an emotional saga of characters.
Dunkirk is possibly the best portrayal of a dramatic war event, from the perspectives of those who participated in it. Dunkirk is as close as you can get to be right in the middle of the war, without actually joining one. Dunkirk is a feast for the eye, a feast for the ear, a feast for your beating heart.
As with all Nolan movies, Dunkirk, of course, must be experienced on the big screen, better yet, on IMAX. It is one of those movies that is made for the big screen, for the unique IMAX experience, so, experience it on IMAX or never see it.
ADDED (August 1, 2017): However much I liked Dunkirk, it was an experience that I would want to have just once, just like war is.
