Review of Dunkirk (2017) by Sikko — 18 Dec 2017
Do not buy into the critical hype. This is an ordinary war film at best.
Pro: The sense of desolation on the beach is decently represented. Con: The scale of the evacuation never hit home, 1000 ships participated, and some 84 alliedDo not buy into the critical hype. This is an ordinary war film at best.
Pro:
The sense of desolation on the beach is decently represented.
Con:
The scale of the evacuation never hit home, 1000 ships participated, and some 84 allied aircraft were lost. I got no sense of scale from the movie, except troops on the beach.
Lack of character depth and development.
Poor aircraft CGI (patchy, there are scenes where Hurricanes are shown banking perfectly together, which ripped me out of the immersion).
Strangely, no sense of urgency around anything that happened.
