1917 (2019) is a movie my wife and I saw in theatres upon its release during the pandemic. The storyline follows two men given a critical mission to hand deliver a message to another regimen who thinks they're about to attack the Germans but in reality the Germans know they're coming and are waiting to massacre them. If they don't get the message to the regimen 1,600 men will be massacred. This movie is directed by Sam Mendes (Skyfall) and stars George MacKay (How I Live Now), Dean-Charles Chapman (Before I Go To Sleep), Colin Firth (The King's Speech), Daniel Mays (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and Mark Strong (Cruella). The storyline for this is okay but the cinematography, settings and circumstances are well delivered. The scenarios the soldiers have to overcome are intense and well delivered. The constant running, ducking and dodging wasn't as exciting a storyline for me as other war movies like Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket or Platoon. Intensity and caring about the characters seemed a step back from those movies. This is still a good movie and worth watching once but isn't the masterpiece of better war related movies. I'd score this a solid 7/10 and recommend seeing it.
