"Dunkirk" is a movie set during World War 2, about the English army that is trying to leave the beach of Dunkirk in France, after the Germans trapped them there. This is based on true historical events. I liked the non-linear storyline which is the typical Nolan's trademark and by the end all the pieces come back together. Special effects are absolutely fantastic and the air fight sequences are extremely intense and realistic: no big and impossible explosions, no over the top action; which is quite an achievement, considering that Hollywood tends to over exaggerate everything. The photography is excellent and there are some amazing shots over the sea that I have truly enjoyed. The acting was decent, this is not the best cast that Nolan had: actors were pretty much bland and for sure none of them left me impressed, with the exception of Tom Hardy whose talent is indisputable.

Despite being technically thrilling and narratively interesting, the first 30 minutes were really slow and boring, and it seemed like the story was not progressing. Nolan needed to absolutely trim down a few sequences, he should have deepened characters way more, I felt like I barely knew them by the end of the film. The ending is very generic and uninspired and looks abrupt. The soundtrack is at times annoying and repetitive. Don't get me wrong: "Dunkirk" is overall a nice film, but from the guy that made "Inception" and "Interstellar", I was expecting way more than this.
