Just... bad

Rating: 2/10 (16 December 2017)

So, I had great expectations for this movie, but God knows I am disappointed...
First of all, I nearly quit watching after five minutes when I realized the movie had been filmed in nowadays Dunkirk and that absolutely NOTHING had been done to make the city look authentic (the way it was at the time). No, Nolan wanted us to appreciate WW2 british uniforms in a 60s-70s environment... Also, I nearly cryed when I saw that "british destroyer", which actaully is a french post-war one. Nolan says he wanted it to look real, which is why he went for a non-authentic but real ship, rather then for CGI. Well, I guess we all make mistakes, right? What would you have thought if they had used an ABRAMS tank instead of an M4A3E8 Sherman in Fury? Sorry, but it's the same thing.
About acting now, the soldiers didn't look frightened, they look bored. The only actor who kind of did his job properly was that guy from "In Time" (forgot his name). The rest of them just looked like they were waiting for the movie to end, just like me.
Let's talk about the german forces now. I actually did appreciate those aerial battles, although the germans are, as usual, depicted as inferior to the allies...
I will conclude by saying that "Dunkirk" fails to tell the tale of waht was a turning point in WW2.
