I watched Dunkirk again last week and liked it even more a second time. Unfortunately, a TV screen doesn't capture how impressive it was in an IMAX theater but still a great movie is a great movie. Watching the special features, I was impressed how much of the movie was practical. I know that's...

The score wasn't what I would have expected. It seemed modern to the point that it's anachronistic with its setting but the score still worked because, like you said, it added urgency and suspense to what was happening.

Yeah, it's not a perfect analogy but I guess my point was more that in both movies, those unseen people still exist and what they did happened, it's just not covered by the movie.

I get how people may wonder or even complain about the lack of the French but I think of it in the same way as I think of there basically being no second class in Titanic- there's only so much room in the story and the movie.

The two or three times I did, I attributed it to their accents than the mix.

One of the things I liked about the movie was that you're in the same position as the characters. Even if they do meet (I don't think most of the characters between storylines speak to each other), they don't know much or anything about those other people. And that's exactly how it would be in...

You're correct and they probably made the right choice. It seems like the type of thing I will warm to on a second viewing. I have to say that this is the rare movie where I want to see it a second time. I'm guessing that was Michael Caine on the radio to Tom Hardy near the beginning of the movie.

And for the folks that some deeper knowledge of the war, was any of the specifics or people onscreen real? Or did they just take the actual event and create fictional characters and scenarios within that? And you can tell by the different times of day.

Considering that I walked in knowing the outcome of the movie, I'm shocked at how suspenseful it was. Wonderful performances (even more impressive since there's not alot of dialogue) and a story that shows that all people matter and we can all make a difference. One of the best of the year...

This movie isn't made for teens. They aren't going to see it (even with that boy band guy) and Warners should just focus on making and marketing a movie to adults. For what it's worth, I don't think this movie is going to make a ton of movie but once everything gets factored in, I don't think...

An hour and 46 minutes? My prayers have been answered! Upon reflection, I probably should have prayed for a million bucks or world peace or something.

Didn't they say that they were planning on releasing this movie a few days early in 70mm and film IMAX? Or am I just thinking that because Nolan did it with Interstellar?

I saw it in front of Guardians too and it looks fantastic. Same here. By a country mile.

And as long there isn't blood or body parts flying everywhere, all violence is a PG-13 today.

Did anyone expect a movie this expensive to be anything but PG-13?

After seeing 8 trailers before Rogue One and having Dunkirk be the only one that wasn't for a franchise on- at a minimum of- its 5th entry, I'm more than happy to see anything from the one guy who can get big budgets for something that isn't a franchise.

Yeah, I'll even be going out of my way and seeing it in a near-ish IMAX film theater so I don't have to wait at all.

I'm hoping to see it there too.

You don't know a thing about me or my respect for those that have fought and died for their country.

I hadn't even considered that but with the brief bits you see in the teaser and the Christopher Nolan name on it, I can see how someone might think there's a more fantastical element to the movie.

At this point, I would imagine that it's really only big WWII buffs that know about the battle of Dunkirk anymore. I probably know more about the war than the average person but honestly, the only reason I know about Dunkirk is because the highest surviving officer from the Titanic sailed a boat...
