    MoveLater2 Dunkirk - Film Review

    I just took the youngest lad out to IMAX to see this film.
    Pretty spectacular effects but maybe I was expecting more? They used little graphic effects which was a pity as I got the impression that money was tight for some scenes which I'm sure wasn't the case.
    I'm seeing it again at the local flicks with my daughter & am looking forward to it. Maybe the IMAX $64 cost plus $28 for 3 hours parking plus travel & freeway tolls plus the usual ripoff ice creams etc was the downer for me..
    The next time the tickets are free!! I'll probably really enjoy it. The air combat was the best part for me.

    Ain't seen it yet. My son in law is taking me to see it on Monday, after which I shall give my opinion, however in advance of actually seeing it, I expect it to be good, having noticed several 5 star reviews (5 out of 5!),.....which is highly unusual.

    I have just finished seeing it.
    No way for 5 stars.........More like 3.
    I am into war movies and war history, but this one just didn't do it for me.
    It lacks true story line or in depth study of the characters.
    The visual effects of the ariel flighting was very good.
    I feel some some other recent war movies are better, Like saving private Ryan.

    I used to live next door to a Dunkirk vet - Mr Walker - I was up for a chat or two about it from his perspective but all i got was how he had terrible constipation from his diet of boiled eggs and chocolate. I think he was on the sand for 4 days.
    I would have thought the opposite effect would have been in evidence given the circumstances!
    cheers,

    Going to see it this afternoon with my daughter. She saw it during the week with a friend and loved it. She is very keen to see it again. Will let you know what I think of it.
    cheers

    funny how the human mind focuses on odd things when stress is involved

    mate of my father who was a tobruk rat used amuse us with his odd recollections of obscure things that appeared to cover up the terrible bits.

    more power to them, if it worked for them.
