I was so looking forward to seeing this film. While I can appreciate a different approach at this genre, I just didn't get it. The first half of the film was at times utterly boring. I struggled to stay awake. Things do get a bit better as the film progresses. At the end of the film I had such an empty feeling. After seeing classics such as Saving Private Ryan, the Pianist, Enemy at the Gates, etc. Dunkirk pales in comparison. Dunkirk reminds me a bit of the Blair Witch Project which was a new approach at the horror genre which was a total failure. At least the cinematography was good.
