1917 almost like Dunkirk(2017) is an experience of a battlefield with limited fight scenes, dialogues or gross scenes. Just actions. Thomas Newman's soundtrack is brilliant and suiting, photography is decent but color grading is lacklustre and monotonous (compared to Dunkirk). When you talk about experience films you've got to get soundtrack and cinematography matching the tension you want to create. It worked perfectly with Hans Zimmer and Hoyte van Hoytema in Dunkirk but 1917 lacks it for some reason which cuts off the tension a couple of times and then you've to rebuild again. It might've to do with the story too, very flat which allows your mind to wander off whereas Nolan tried to create a puzzle out of the three pieces in Dunkirk.

There's a few very good jump scares that can break a weak heart.
