Dunkirk (Christopher Nolan, July 21st 2017) Movie • Page 21

Just got done with round 2. Just as good the second time

 

Just got back from seeing it. It was alright. There were some parts where I was a bit bored but I liked the editing and the structure of the film. I didn't like it as much as TDK trilogy or Inception. Probably tied with Interstellar.

 

So jealous of everyone. I'll revisit this thread once I see it OnDemand in six months :(

 

This movie was stressful. I loved every second of it

 

This aged me by like 3 years.

 

I get opinions and such... but how is any of this movie remotely boring?

 

Can't speak for everyone but I think some people interpret the lack of a lot of dialogue as boring. I've seen people downplaying the acting because they didn't have to say much, but I almost feel like it'd be harder to emote with just ur face. I'm not an actor but I feel like it's a different kind of challenging to have to be able to convey all that without words. like cillian barely said anything but I thought his performance was still devastating, as well as the other actors. I expected him and Tom to have bigger speaking parts just because the caliber of actors they are and being in the mindframe of a typical movie, but I thought they all did a great job

 

I didn't realize Hoyte van Hoytema was the DP on this. Pretty cool. I haven't seen it yet but that at least guarantees it should be a visual splendor. Love his work.

 

Saw this today in 70mm. 9/10 for sure. Loved it, pretty intense throughout.

 

Just got back from the theater. Wow. In one word: relentless. I've never seen a movie like that. Nolan has such a unique vision for his films.

 

70mm IMAX was out of this world.
This movie or Blade Runner are going to sweep the sound specific Oscars.

My only gripe is I don't see myself rewatching this. But I sure as hell was completely immersed.

 

Did you see it at the IMAX in SF?

 

this was legit. prob my favorite nolan. lack of dialog is such a boring complaint.

 

I liked this. Not quite as crazy about it as some will be, but it's very good.

 

Some of the narrative threads and character arcs didn't tie up and intertwine as potently as the closing moments required, particularly with George and the civilian boat. Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance were great, as were Tom Hardy and Harry Styles, though the conflict between Styles and that whole crew in the abandoned boat didn't play out to the potential it had. Overall it's very strong though. Very easily my favorite Nolan since Inception, his technique is as skillful here as it's ever been. The cinematography is expert, the slow pan from the lieutenant as he notices the civilian boats come in, and the camera movement reveals the masses of huddled soldiers behind him, was exceptional staging and blocking. I have no idea where the "practically a silent movie" talking point came from. There is more than plenty of dialogue in the film. It's economical dialogue, but it's certainly there. The 70mm looked very good but I wasn't as wowed by the format as I was for the 70mm screening of the Hateful Eight, I'm not sure if it was the theater I was at or the mostly dark, blue cinematography and lighting. But it did look great.

 

I really really want to see this, but don't know when I will. Sigh

 

Got my tickets for later this afternoon, incredibly hyped.

 

Yep. The Metreon one. Not the century fake one.

 

Noice. Will be watching this tonight.

 

Movie was visually stunning and intense from the get-go, and I loved it. IMAX viewing is completely worth it.

 

Tom Hardy wore a mask, he crashed planes, and he watched the fire rise as he burned his plane. This is a Bane origin story.

 

Went to an early showing. Really enjoyed it. Dug there not being a ton of dialogue. Was definitely tense as hell.

 

Fantastic film. Trying to understand how the timelines fit together was a little distracting, but in the end it didn't really matter and the whole final 20-30 minutes were just perfection

 

This was one of the best movie-going experiences I've had in a long time
