Quite a visual spectacle by Christopher Nolan, quite a mental bore by Christopher Nolan.

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2017)

Indeed, Dunkirk was a great film that accurately depicts the events that happened in real life. I'm glad I finally got up to go see it, choosing it over Baby Driver and Atomic Blonde. Dunkirk had many parts that made me bite my nails in anxiety, and many parts that had me wondering what the f*** was going on.
*SPOILERS* The first ten minutes of the movie where it introduces the three plot lines are confusing. What are the people in "The Mole" doing? Why are they running through the city? WHY DOES THE MAIN CHARACTER HAVE AROUND 2 LINES THE FIRST HOUR? All these questions buzzing around, but I guess the visual aspect makes up for it.
Second, why does the movie mainly focus on The Mole for the first part and then at the end all of a sudden think Tom Hardy is the most important character? And I'm sorry, this isn't important, but Gillian Murphy is one of the biggest actors in there, he's in most of the movie, and he never even gets a name. He's cast as "Nervous Soldier". Really? And why is 1/5 of the movie Kenneth Branagh staring thoughtfully into the distance? Don't get me wrong, very good acting on his part, but yes, now the biggest memory of that film is his deep eyes. I'm kidding, it's the fire on the sea scene.
Anyway, I guess this movie is worth it, but make sure you're ready to endure the confusing first half hour. And excuse the lack of plot; it's a historical film, the whole idea and series of events is the plot.
