December 18, 20168 yr Author I saw the prologue. Pretty tame and small scale. It's just 5 minutes long and shows a ship being loaded, and then a pair of spitfires intercepting 3 ME-109s and shooting down one of them. (in a calm sort of way). The prologue ends with the siren sounds of Stuka dive-bombers coming down against the ship.
May 6, 20178 yr The latest full trailer has been released. Interestingly, without the drab, undersaturated colour palettes that WWII epics often seem to have, it feels that little bit more realistic to me.

I'm disappointed at the trailer- it has nothing to do with the "race to the coast" battles which were very interesting (German panzer divisions fought French and British mobile divisions).
May 6, 20178 yr I'm not surprised they decided highlight the civilian boat aspect of Dunkirk. Overall, I think Dunkirk is under-emphasized in the telling of WWII. It will be good for many people to learn more (or anything) about this story.

May 7, 20178 yr I see this being pitched somewhere between the ordeal sequence of Saving Private Ryan and the large-scale beach sequence in Atonement, with Nolan able to indulge his eye for extravagant spectacle. Since it won't need to be crammed with tons of exposition in the way that something like Inception was, I think he'll be quite economical with the dialogue.

July 18, 20177 yr The city of Dunkirk doesn't exist. I think they land on the wrong beach. It's Dunkerque!!!!

I didn't watch the movie, but i hope they didn't forget to talk about the huge sacrifice of the troops of the french general Fagalde, who made that possible, Dynamo was possible only thanks to them.

It's a reasonable statement to make that the UK (the US too) would likely not exist in their present form if it wasn't for France's help at multiple points in history.
July 18, 20177 yr Author @Michael The reviews are great but the film's trailer still looks like a medium-low budget flick- eg. like all those Russian war movies and such.
July 19, 20177 yr Still really wanna see this Wait a couple months for good stuff online and I'll be set

The critical reception really has been pretty rapturous so far. I anticipate this drawing far less fan criticism than Interstellar did, but for some reason, the closer we get to the release date, the more I've come to think of it as a back burner film rather than a must-see. It's kind of interesting though to watch Nolan seemingly moving further away from telling stories about characters and towards exploring ideas and experiences.

I had the opportunity to watch the film today but I decided not to. (this shows my interest level lol) I want to see more visuals from it before I decide whether or not I want to see it.
