This movie is based on a true story which took place during World War II. Basically, the entire movie revolves around a battle which the Allied soldiers of Britain, Belgium, and France are surrounded by the Germans. At this time, the Allies are trying to flee away from the beaches and harbor of Dunkirk, France. This movie was shot partially with IMAX cameras and the rest was shot with standard 65mm cameras. No matter where this movie was going to be shown, it was probably gonna end up looking beautiful based on footage I witnessed before going to see this film in the theater, but if it was shown on a high quality projector, it might just be like looking at something with a naked eye.
Regardless of what you think of this movie in terms of content or story, this will definitely be something to remember based on senses. But you know what? Because believe it or not, it actually works! You may be curious, what is this big fear? Well, ladies and gentlemen, that fear happened to be, Harry Styles. What does he typically do? Well, if you are aware of the boy band, One Direction, Styles is actually a singer-songwriter for the band. On the topic of teenage fangirls going into this movie, many of them, based on tweets I read, were looking forward to see Styles on the big screen.
What do I mean? Sticking with the original topic, how was Styles in this movie? My point is that you have a lot of characters in this movie, and they were mostly white males with similar hairstyles. Besides, this movie revolved around men at war. By the way, out of all the Harry Styles look-a-likes in this movie, I gotta say Fionn Whitehead probably gave the best performance out of all of them.
His acting is certainly better than his singing. Although I gotta say there is a performance that stood out to me. The guy on the left, Tom Glynn-Carney played a character in this film. Another fear I had, is the fact that the film was PG After seeing this movie, the sound, the effects, the atmosphere, and the performances all felt realistic.
By the way, if you watch this movie, look forward to the dogfights, seeing this in full frame IMAX from first person perspective is as the kids call it now, lit. He did write and produce it though. Is the music exactly hummable? Although it was awesome nevertheless. If you pay close attention when watching the movie or when listening to the soundtrack, you may hear ticking and tocking.
