A 7.9?! Do we now put filmmaking techniques over story? If that's the case, then the SW sequel trilogy is a masterpiece according to this rating. Anyhow, let's get to the review.

From a technical standpoint, this is an outstanding movie with gorgeous cinematography, editing, sound design, visuals and shots. It really is a gorgeous movie to look at and I do think the use of no dialogue helped with the feeling that there is war and there are stakes and I do like the idea of the story being told from 3 different perspectives. Very efficient way of storytelling there.

With that said, let's move on to the bad. This movie was really boring. Sure it's short but I just wanted the movie to be over and the movie moves at such a slow pace unnecessarily and it's so repetitive with nothing interesting happening. I also rally didn't care about the characters. They could be replaced by pieces of wood and I wouldn't notice a difference. I felt no emotional connection to them, I didn't care about them, I never felt any emotion and I didn't care what was happening.

This movie also doesn't feel too much like a war movie. I don't mind the lack of blood but everything is so quiet with little tension or action.

Overall, this is a really disappointing effort from Nolan and how this movie got so much recognition shows that apparently storytelling doesn't matter if you get your technical aspects right. Watch Inception or TDK trilogy. Now those are real movies, not this documentary.
