Dunkirk (2017) film review

Dunkirk (2017)

This was a very unique experience; especially seeing & hearing the film in IMAX just made you feel emersed in the experience.

I was not a fan of the musical score by Hans Zimmer. It had a lot of tension and suspense that made you on edge the entire film. The clicking clock sound from Christopher Nolan also had you on edge thinking there was a limited time and that at any moment something was going to occur.

What I found interesting is how you never saw the Nazi's in this film besides the planes and even at the end the nazis you saw were in the distance or out of focus.

I liked the sound and visuals of this film. I liked that this film is mostly practical. It is very difficult to identify if anything from this film was CGI since most of it appears to be practical effects. I have never seen a war film captured & shot this way before with the cameras like they were shot on the plane or seeing the sinking inside of a ship quit like this does. The closest we have ever experienced is in Titanic or Pearl Harbor but this film put the tension and suspense up on a whole another level never experienced before. Also the scale of the sinking of the ships was more than has been seen before with any other war film.

I think it was interesting how the Civilians were the heroes of this film rather than the military.

I think that this film did a great job showing perspectives from sea, land, and air all in one film.
