Dunkirk was really good 6.8/8
I wouldn't call it Nolan's best at all. That's some prisoner of the moment stuff.
I love and at the same time was annoyed that Nolan couldn't simply tell his story chronologically lol. I was lost when it said 1 week the mole, 1 hour the air, and 1 day at sea. I liked how most of it came together.
My favorite part was the young soldiers trying to finesse their way out. I also think the stuff with the commander (Brannagh's character) were really good too. The stuff on the boat could've been heartwarming and inspiring but the son, the friend and shellshocked soldier annoyed me.
The pilots were dope but too short. I also don't get why Hardy's character did that in the end.
The movie in one way is really about survival and escaping danger or an inevitable death situation in one way. Nolan captured it well.
My only real complaint is I was fine with Nolan dropping us right in the middle of the action but the score was trying too hard. 5 min in they got this tense music for enemy fighter pilots dropping bombs and that did not make me feel tense and immersed in the story. It just made me aware they were trying (too hard and too fast (that's what she said lol)) to make me feel that way. Overall the score was good though and after a while it gelled with the story almost perfecetly.
