Such a disappointing film. After deciding to watch Darkest Hour first, I was prepared for the epic scale of achievement and some of the interesting storylines. This film disappointed on almost every level. It had real planes and boats and men but even with a massive budget, without CGI, you cant come close to the scale required.

This resulted in the story being repeated from different story angles so the big set pieces and limited aircraft/boats could be shot from additional angles. This was just repetitive, confusing and a big market for the small scale at which this film was made. Similarly, the lines ofem on the beach and the flotilla were both underwhelming. It gave the impression of a small skirmish with a near non-existent German force.
