That's what Rotten Tomatoes said earlier this week. I expect 80-85% RT.

Got tickets to see it 70mm in a week. Pretty excited, never been to a 70mm movie.

Not a huge fan of war movies, but I'm quite fond of Nolan's movies. So we'll see. But more than anything, I'm excited to hear the score. The organ in Interstellar's soundtrack was a fucking revelation.
I'm calling 92%.
I'd also like to know if/what reviewers see it in IMAX (especially real IMAX). I think that would definitely help ones rating/score.

Every time I look up stuff about Dunkirk I see Harry Styles instead. I know he's a celebrating but damn. People are really going to watch a war movie that actually happened in real life only because Harry Styles is in it. I truly believe that. I feel like I've learn so much about this guy thanks to his fanbase.

Got to see it tonight in real IMAX at Seattle Science Center.
From the first shot in its full IMAX glory, it is amazing!
The cinematography & sound with that type of picture is just overwhelming.
95% of the movie is in full IMAX with the non-IMAX segments being less than two minutes.
It is an odd movie to watch though.
If you have real IMAX in your city, it is worth seeing it for that alone. Seriously feels like a totally differnet movie exepreince with that scale of screen.

The movie has three timelines spliced together with all three aligning near the end.
Very little character development and dialogue. Outside of the ending where a character reads a newspaper, no character has more than a handful of words.
The first 20 minutes of the film has less than 30 spoken words.

I don't think I've ever heard him actually talk, he sounds like he's 30 years old haha. Not what I was expecting lol. Seems like a good dude.

The spoiler part most of us know and it's precisely why we're ecstatic.

Right around my guess. I think some critics will hate it.

I think we are all missing the important detail.
did Nolan put a bag over Cilian Murphy's head again? I remember a interview back when Inception came out where they asked him about having his face covered and he laugh at it because it's true

This is getting weirder all the time
Having seen it I think this will be far above a the mid 80s on RT that you guys are talking about. I think critics are going to lap this up.

welp.....of course it is...this is a Chris Nolan film..
I think its because full reviews are not allowed yet? I thought embargo was over today but doesn't seem like it.
Monday, according to rottentomatoes.
Considering the US seemed to chose it's current president based on Twitter and that's how he communicates I guess this is small potatoes by comparison.
To be fair I think it does work for a high level impression and I find twitter useless normally.

86 on RT... and it'll end up with an average review of 8.2

Probably will secure an easy 90+ on RT going by these impressions
I predict 95% tbh

So strange for a Nolan film lol.
Y'all are hyping me up too much.
The real reason he went with Netflix. He knows no matter how amazing his movie is, the voting committee hates Netflix, and therefore knowing Nolan was about to drop this bomb and grab a director award, he figured he'd take himself out of the running... very smart man.

I find it hilarious that people are unsure if a movie of the year contender will hit 80-85% while comic book movies hit those numbers and the 90s on the regular while being completely generic and unmemorable in every manner lol
Academy Award Nominee the cast of Dunkirk.

Truly the darkest timeline.
It'd be funny if anyone gets nom'd for Best Actor/Actress etc considering how little dialogue there supposedly is.
