Very good movie - read the history on Dunkirk & see this movie ...
A true description of history - very moving!
To the person who said it's not interesting and hardly any dialogue is wrong. I saw the movie. Action speaks for itself. These brave men saved our lives. Brave civilians for risking their lives for their fellow men. I cried for the ones who died for us. May they RIP
This movie is meant for men. It missed the mark for me. I love war movies but this one had an odd time jump between the characters and it makes you confused the whole time. Men will enjoy it as there is lots of shooting at things. Very little dialog to also help with the story line. Personally not a movie I enjoyed and don't understand the appeal towards it. Ladies, let your man go to this one solo and you go to another movie. Or wait till it's out on DVD.
Not much dialogue. No drama.
Focused almost entirely on the worst, snivelling, morally-bankrupt characters. Minimal depictions of men of integrity and honor. Entirely annoying, pulsing soundtrack better suited for a SciFi flick. Terrible acting. Yawn-worthy portrayal.
Boring. Felt more like a history channel documentary. Girlfriend fell asleep during the movie.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, go out and see it. The unwavering human Spirit grips you and the pounding musical effects make this one you should see on the big screen or Imax. The human element when confronted with war and survival and how we extend each other help in a time of need. It brings back my grandfather who was there and I loved the Churchill speech in the newspapers at the end. Absolutely loved it.
"Dunkirk" is based on a historic event but somehow Hollywood failed to produce a central story-line as it entirely lacked story-line clarity and cohesive flow. Meaning, if you got up to use the bathroom and returned to ask your neighbor, "What did I miss?" You'd probably get a blank stare.
Saw it on the IMAX , really added to the experience. Great war flick ! Loved the fighter plane scenes !
