Good but not amazing

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2017)

I never knew about the story of Dunkirk before the movie. Over 30000 troops are stranded on a beach as the enemy bombs them from the air time and time again. In this movie we follow 3 different stories that all intertwine together.
First are a few soldiers that start on the beach and are trying their best to get off it. The second is a father and son who set sail to go and help the men on the beach. And the third are a few pilots trying to counter the planes that are bombing the beach.
All the actors do a great job and I loved the cinematography. However, I think the hype that I heard about this movie let me down a bit. I felt it was a bit anti-climatic as well. I did enjoy how the 3 stories came together but other than that, my big expectations may have ruined it a bit for me. So while I enjoyed the movie, I wasn't blown away so I can only give it a 7/10
