If you don't enjoy this, you can't enjoy a story by the medium of movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2019)

I've read the negative reviews and they amuse me. You cannot expect more from a movie than what this offers. Allowing for taste, some may find the pace too slow I guess (from what I've read) but for me this is presented at an excellent tempo for the subject matter.
If you submerge yourself in the moments portrayed this is quite a cinematic experience. Hanks, and all supporting actors are sublime throughout. Understated at times I guess, but for good reason.
It's just great stoytelling with the right balance of fact and artistic licence to be visceral and enthralling all at once, I guess (could be very factual for all I know but it's very entertaining!)
For me, it is what filmmaking should be more often. I guess for some too slow. Sometimes, an enthralling historic event unfolding at a pace that makes you salivate is almost as good as it gets.
Great cinematography, scirpt, acting and storyline. It's not as memorable as some classics, but you'd watch it more than once.
