Before seeing this, I was told that Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" is more of an "experience" rather than a movie. I can see what they meant by that now.

This movie does not follow a traditional chronological narrative like most movies. There really isn't a central main character or even really a central plot. Rather Dunkirk is broken down into three different "experiences", each one taking place over a specific amount of time. The first experience is entitled "The Mole" (the name of the beach), which takes place over the course of one week, the second experience is entitled "the Sea" which takes place in one day, and the third experience is entitled "The Air", which takes place in the course of one hour.

All three events intertwine and overlap with each other which could create a bit of continuity confusion for the viewer. (I think Christopher Nolan was digging into his Memento roots when he wrote this one).

Overall, it was a fun viewing. I can't really say it was Nolan's best, but it was interesting to watch none-the-less. Also Hans Zimmer's score is pretty amazing! Give that guy more Oscars! The guy's been nominated 9 times for his music contributions and has only won once (for the Lion King)!!
