Kenneth Branagh has seen better days.

That said, this is a movie that needs to be seen in theatre. You know the old cliché about non-stop action? It's true to the letter for Dunkirk. There is no time to breathe. You are there—on the beaches, on the landing grounds and in the streets, on sea, land and air.

And if I was confused by anything it was because of the nature of the dialogue, the number of characters who popped in and out of the movie at random, and the fact that just about everyone in the movie had the same brown hair so I often had no idea who was who. But that was a pretty great aspect of the movie afaic since it really made each soldier feel like one in a sea of faceless cogs where it didn't matter which one was which.

Trying to figure out when the plane and boat scenes were going on was kinda sketchy though, but it never bothered me.

Beauty & The Beast - boring, fell asleep.

Jurassic Park - better than I remember when I was about 7.

City of God - wow.
