After more than 1,500 reviews I will simply state was bothered me the most about this film: the color. Come ON, guys! Life - especially war - is NOT a computer game. Therefore, it should NOT look like a computer game.

Dunkirk - as well as most of the north of France - is gray. Even when the sun is out. The first thing that struck me - as well as my sister, who's married to a Frenchman from Lille - was how colorful the place looked. It looked more like Antigua than Dunkirk. And what about the sea? The sea in that region is a permanent gray-green color. In this film it is a bright acqua blue that would put the Caribbean to shame. Even when it's cloudy. Everything scene is tinged by a cartoonish shade of blue. The first scene on the beach was so lifeless in its computer like quality it was awful.

I was so much looking forward to watching this film. But the Dragons and Dungeons aspect of the whole thing was so distracting I could not concentrate on the story. Pity because Dunkirk was one of the most remarkable episode of WWII. It should be treated with more respect. I guess this is, alas, further proof that the film industry had gone to hell in a plastic bag. I much prefer to watch films like The Longest Day than this mess.
