    I read every word of your response and actually want to see the movie a little more now. Looked good in the previews already.

    Eh. Fair enough.

    What I DO know about Dunkirk was:

    Atonement did it better in 5 minutes than Dudkirk did in 2 hours.

    But after we watch the film... shouldn't we kind of have an idea of what happened without reading it?

    Essentially, this movie could have been entirely silent and just drone footage.




    I guess- overall, it comes down to personal taste. I need substance in a film. I'm a visual artist- but a film should be more. I want a story. I want a beginning. I want an end- and I want it to seem like there's a conflict before we reach that end. This was basically like watching people wait in line at a grocery store- and at the end, you're like "Oh. Cool. They checked out and went home. Wee."
    Some people can just watch pretty pictures and that's enough for them. Not me. I think that aspect is important- but if you don't have more than that- make it a short film. This one could have been done in 20 minutes with the same ending effect.

    I had a similar take on the movie. It was fun and entertaining but it could have been a lot better.

    Hoping the rest of these MonsterVerse movies will at least stay this entertaining.

    And that gas mask scene...

    Watched "Founder" today. Michael Keaton delivers as usual. Good story; ambiguous narrative about whether Ray Kroc was good or bad.

    Finally saw "The Girl With All The Gifts". As usual, the British take an American concept and turn it up to 11. Not flawless though; plot had to resort to having a few people who should know better making really bad decisions. Interesting resolution though; takes the sting out ofnthe dumb parts.

    Saw Dunkirk yesterday and it was awesome. Not for the faint of heart, the entire movie has you feeling tense. I actually checked my fitbit a couple times throughout the movie just to check if my heart rate had actually risen. Music throughout the movie gives it almost a Jaws feeling.

    While you're watching 3 different time lines, the ending ties them together very well.

    You were checking your fitbit. I was checking my watch.

    The exact opposite of intense.

    Difference with scoring in Jaws, was there was an actual threat and sense of danger to accompany the music.

    Shark, dive bombing fighters, I think those both qualify as threats.

    Currently watching Train to Busan. South Korean zombie movie - pretty sure.

    Like World War Z but focused on a particular event and small group.

    Well done, so far.

    Finish it tonight when the kids go to bed.
