What's a regular war movie? Captain America?
Independently of the quality of the film, which is obviously subjective, I didn't think it was regular at all. It was more akin to a disaster movie than to a war film, the focus predominantly on characters unable to fight back and simply attempting to survive or rescue other people.
Just finished. It was so intense, it felt like I've been sitting there for 2.5 hours...
The movie is special, not much dialogue, purely focus on visual and music and sound effect.
Edit:?who was shooting at the boat/ship
Oh, and the sound design of those diving planes is excellent.
Has anyone seen it in 70mm yet? Curious how it might compare to the Hateful Eight rollout.
Intermission?
stop texting in the theater :S
Stop looking at your phone!
I saw in 70mm (not IMAX), same way I saw Hateful Eight. The detail is definitely gorgeous. I'd say with QT's film, he gave you more time to luxuriate in the images and his color palette is a little more vibrant than what Nolan does. But I definitely recommend seeking it out, since the detail is amazing. I'm excited to check out the IMAX version too.
Yes.
It's cool guys, movies have a half time break here lol
It was a very good, taught, audio-visual ride. Nolan's patented ramping tension through intercutting narrative momentum. This works very well for the first half of the film. The second half tries to keep that sense of suspended tension, but ends up feeling like it's treading water somewhat.
I certainly appreciate that it feels like a very different kind of war film. I've seen a lot of people compare it to a bunch of films I don't agree with.
If anything, the film this most reminds me of is Cuaron's Gravity. That constant sense of moving forward and forward and forward like a theatrical ride that takes precedence over character or story. It's better for it.
The score was great. My buddy found it played out, but I enjoyed what it did and thought it most effective.
The film isn't a masterpiece by any means, but it is a very impressive piece of filmmaking that feels different enough from Nolan's recent work (due to its structural approach) that it feels like something fresh from Nolan.

Happy Nolan Day!

Same. Really looking forward to this.I have my IMAX 70mm ticket for Thursday, 7 PM!
It was superb. It's so.. lean. No excess. Huge respect to Nolan, this story could easily have been made into a 3-hour epic. Instead he created one of the most unique and memorable war movies ever.
Same time for today as well.I have my IMAX 70mm ticket for Thursday, 7 PM!
This is more or less what I was going to say. Love love love love love how focused and to the point the movie is.
At the same time, it's not going to everyone's cup of tea. Some of the less positive reviews have mentioned that the movie is lacking in plot and character, which is true, but it's also not what the movie is about. People want different things from movies, big shocker there. It's been a bummer to see some critics on Twitter bearing the full brunt of the fanboy hate purely for having a very particular taste in movies. And what's even dumber is that the crying is obviously motivated by someone having the gall to ruin that perfect 100% on Rottentomatoes.
Anyway, I'll end up seeing this again in theaters. I'd have to travel a cool 600 kilometers to see it in IMAX, but the experience was intense enough even on a normal screen.
I found it to be an efficiently lean thriller with some of Nolan's finest visual compositions to date, and a more intricately-detailed structure than expected.
While I liked how he played around with chronology, it did seem to undermine some of the suspense and emotion, eventually becoming more of a manipulative trick then something that genuinely adds to the experience. In fact, in a few sections, the editing completely distracts from getting more involved with certain sequences. I'm willing to admit this qualm may be cleared up on a second viewing though.
Nonetheless, there's few directors that can command your attention the way Nolan can. After Interstellar, I prayed for a more pared-down script, dialogue-wise, and he delivers that here. I'd rank it somewhere under Memento and The Prestige, on par with The Dark Knight and Inception.
At the bar across the street in preparation for Dunkirk!
Going at 6pm CST. Can't wait.Has anyone seen it in 70mm yet? Curious how it might compare to the Hateful Eight rollout.
Wait is there really an intermission?
No he just said where he saw it at they do one
Man if there's any movie it would suck to have an intermission for, it's this one.
For those who have seen the film: is it kid friendly? I'm considering whether or not to take two of my kids, ages 11 and eight years old.
If this film is the A/V masterpiece that I keep hearing about, I would like them to see it. On the other hand I wonder if it would overwhelm them.
The only thing i would worry about is the volume. It's probably the only movie i have ever thought "holy shit, this is loud" when watching it at the theatre. It's not gory or very violent.
