Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
Christopher Nolan has delivered another stunning and emotional film. The story is powerful, emotional, and inspired. The story is expertly separated from past, current, and future experiences shared by a few characters. All the characters show various treats from cowardice, courage, honor, pride, and sacrifice. The story can be a little confusing to watch, but after a second viewing it clears things us.
The dialogue, or lack of dialogue, is amazing. The facial expressions and use of music to express tone, mood, and intentions are stunning.
The acting is great. Tom Hardy, Fionn Whitehead, Mark Rylance, and Cillian Murphy perform the best. Aneurin Bonnard, Barry Keoghan, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, and Harry Styles (surprisingly) also perform well.
The dogfight sequences are the best part of the film. The use of practical effects and the amount of extras is what makes the film seem real.
The amount of powerful and emotional moments are few, but they are extremely potent. The ending is sobering yet inspiring. It shows us that patriotism and sacrifice can lead to hope.
Pros: Powerful story, good dialogue, facial expressions and lack of dialogue are great, amazing acting, Tom Hardy's performance is stunning, dogfight sequences, practical effects and the staggering amount of extras, extremely potent emotional moments, and a great ending
Cons: The story can be hard to follow at some points and there is a scene about an hour and a half in (Tom Hardy is in a plane over the beach) that looks fake
Overall Rating: 9.0
