"1917" is well produced but its gimmick of having the movie done in one continuous shot doesn't work that well. Sometimes it's cool but more often it's distracting. It took me out of the moment many times. "1917" has more than its share of cool moments. There's no denying that. But overall, I found it too show-offy to be really engaging. It often felt like I was watching someone play a video game. "1917" does get an E for effort. Maybe I'll like it more the next time I see it.
