Holy mother of God, this is the most boring movie I've ever seen.

I don't consider saying anything about the events of the movie spoiler, simply because the movie doen't have any story whatsoever. But if you're really sensitive maybe skip this review.

Certainly there are worst productions out there, but being a C. Nolan directed movie, I had somewhat high expectations. No, I didn't read anything about the movie, didn't watch any trailer. I just went there knowing it was about war and that it had the C. Nolan signature. Oh boy and how I was disappointed.

Sure it is beautiful, it feels realistic, believable and sort of an accurate side story (or a side event, rather). But as entertainment it fails miserably. There's only one single event in the whole movie, which is soldiers trying to flee a battleground. It ends just as it starts, the only difference being, that hey somehow succeed to flee at the very end, after trying the whole movie an failing over and over.

I can understand why, despite being this average, the movie is still so sucessful: american culture clearly loves everything surrounding war: the backstage, their army, their history of fighting, certainly hits their feels. Yes, the movie is covering a british battle, but still, the theme is there. Even subconsciously, it hits their patriotism, it's a subject of absolute respect for - most - americans. That's fine and actually a beautiful thing. But for the rest of the world I see how a Big Brother war simulation would be enough to earn anyone's respect.

Also some of the happenings are hard to digest. During the movie a lot of huge carries go there to rascue them and no one seem very thrilled. Then at the later part, a bunch of small fishing boats arrives, and suddenly all the soldiers are chearing up. Seriously? It doesn't look like they would able to carry that many soldiers - 40k or 400k soldiers, if I recall correctly. If the enemy could take down multiple war ships, why they should feel safe in a small boat? And HOW did they succeed? That didn't make any sense to me. It feels like they just noticed they had 3 hours of movie already and had to rush an ending for the sake of sanity.

Still, it has beautiful visuals. I can respect the effort of everyone involved in the technical aspect.
