Once again looking at at the 9 and 10 reviews of this one cant help but think the majority must be company shills pushing their company's product. 1917 is an OK movie perhaps maybe even a good movie but certainly not a great movie. A great movie has as its bedrock a great story line and plot. This comes up well short in the plot department. WWI was chaos without doubt but the military was not commanded by complete idiots as the plot line would have us believe. There is no possible such an incredibly import job would be handled in the way portrayed. The movie was full of cliches and the usual war movie tropes. 1917 has been promoted as a "one take" movie but ........it isn't. Dont get me wrong, the camera work is outstanding but the rest ...... not so much. The settings just failed to achieve realism in most cases .... trenches too clean for one thing. Even the No-Man's land carnage didn't look ...... right! The is a solid 6 and maybe I might be convinced to stretch it to a 6.5 but it certainly isn't a 10. An Oscar winner? Given the hype it could be a chance but the right movie quite often doesnt win the Best Movie Oscar, afterall Hollywood has always been politics over substance. One final note. The Helmets the Brits were wearing ....... something about them was not right and that was a distraction throughout the movie. A great movie would get the details right.
