If you are looking for yet another good war film, look no further: 1917 will keep you on your feet throughout and only someone completely heart- and mindless would not feel for what people on screen have to go through.

Yet, why? Why are we making these films about war, where filmmakers and storytellers try so hard to make us believe how terrible and traumatic war must be? Listen to soldiers, civilians, all of those people who had to experience it, read history books, watch historical material.

Film wise: great cinematography, acting, sets. The rest is the usual formula you will see in all other war films. After watching it I felt like, what did I expect, why did I even watch it?

It makes me feel bad giving a lower rating for the film, reading that some veterans would give 10 because 1917 feels so realistic. No offence in any form. I guess if we would really honour the fallen from the wars in the past, we should stop making new ones in the present. This film made it absolutely clear for me: I don't need to see the brutality and senselessness of war anymore; I got it before, really.
