Caught this @ Imax on Thursday night on the 1570 viewing.

It's a beautifully crafted film. Zimmer's score drones throughout creating a sense of non-stop tension and foreboding. It's relentless, almost fatiguing in parts. The sound-stage and the score really make the film. You hear and feel so much of the film. It was bloody loud in parts. I could have been Tom Hardy's co-pilot and still couldn't hear or understand a word he said.

Nolan once again uses time as a motive, utilising a non-linear structure telling three separate stories that intersect during the Battle of Dunkirk. It's done very well. The cast is very good throughout, all giving solid performances.

My only criticism would be that it was pretty tame and a somewhat low- key rendition of the Battle of Dunkirk. It's almost minimalist in parts.

Very, very solid filmmaking.

Will watch this again as I think the Imax experience was a little overwhelming and all encompassing at times – the dog fights, dive- bombing and air scenes were intense!

Definitely an early contender for awards season.
