I had high hopes for this film. I enjoy watching historic movies based on actual events (Saving Private Ryan, From Here To Eternity, A bridge Too Far, etc). I was really enthusiastic when it was announced that Christopher Nolan would be the director as I am a fan of his movies too.

Then I watched Dunkirk. This movie seems like a 2 hour documentary on the evacuation than anything else. There is barely a shred of any story. We have 3 different scenarios going on that have little to do with each other, besides the fact that they are going on during the evacuation. The dialogue seems to be written half the time by a 10 year old and the rest of the time by an expert in military communications. And it seems like the actors were told to just stand around and do nothing for most of the film.

I really can't be live this was made by the same man who directed the Dark Knight trilogy.
