Dunkirk (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) [4K UHD]

Not on the grand scale of Oppenheimer, but it is still a really good movie. My only criticism was that unless you already knew something about Dunkirk and its significance, you might have a difficult time understanding how important it was to the future of Britain's success in WWII. However, I would still highly recommend it for its superb acting and excellent cinematography.

If you're a history buff or a fan of cinematic masterpieces, then "Dunkirk" is a must-watch film that will leave you breathless. This 4K Ultra HD version takes Christopher Nolan's World War II epic to a whole new level, with stunning visuals and immersive sound that put you right in the middle of the action.The film tells the true story of the Dunkirk evacuation, where over 300,000 Allied soldiers were stranded on the beaches of France and surrounded by German forces. The tension and sense of danger are palpable from the start, as we follow the struggles of soldiers on the ground, pilots in the air, and civilians on boats trying to rescue the stranded soldiers.The cinematography is breathtaking, with sweeping aerial shots of the beaches and intense close-ups that capture the fear and desperation of the soldiers. The sound design is equally impressive, with the sound of bullets whizzing past your head and explosions rocking your living room.But what really sets "Dunkirk" apart is its storytelling. Nolan expertly weaves together three different timelines, each with its own characters and perspectives, until they converge in a thrilling finale. The result is a film that is both suspenseful and emotionally resonant, with characters you care about and a sense of awe at the bravery and sacrifice of those involved in the evacuation.Overall, "Dunkirk" is a cinematic tour de force that deserves a place in any film lover's collection. The 4K Ultra HD version only enhances the experience, making it feel like you're right there on the beaches of Dunkirk. Highly recommended!

Good movie 🍿

This was a good movie. I had never heard of Dunkirk before, so some movies can be a gateway to diving deeper into history. I don't know how accurate this film is. The cinematography was splendid and the action sequences held my interest, which is rare considering that I tend to find war films boring, but this one wasn't boring.There were some mild negatives or cons. One of them is that as I was watching this I thought, "Wow they really didn't develop the characters much." There isn't much in the way of character development, which can make it difficult for some to gain any interest when they're not being pulled in by any one character. Maybe that was purposely done, I don't know.Tom Hardy and Kenneth Branagh may be the biggest known names in this, but they're so hardly in this that I wonder why they agreed to it in the first place. I had heard that Tom Hardy turned it down, but Christopher Nolan who wrote and directed this had worked with him before in "Inception" and "The Dark Knight". And that Christopher practically had to beg Tom to do this. I'm still not sure why he begged him to do a role that anyone could do.Tom flies a plane the entire film with a helmet and mask on. You don't even see his face until the end for about fifteen seconds. My guess is that having Tom's name attached to this on the marquee would draw in more of an audience. As it stands, I had never heard of this film until the DVD popped up in my recommendations and I bought it because it was the price of a rental. It was worth it and entertaining aside from those mild complaints.I did recognize that actor that was the scarecrow in the dark knight, and some guy that kind of looked a bit like that Harry Styles, who turned out to be him as I noticed in the credits.The other is I do wish there was a bit more story as I wasn't entirely sure what was going on, except for knowing that the British and the French had aligned together in a war where Germany was their enemy. The English and French get stranded on a beach in Dunkirk awaiting to be rescued before the Germans find and kill them. They have to cross the ocean which lends for some spectacular visuals and fight scenes.

The story telling method in Dunkirk is one of a kind and masterful. We see three converging threads in a central story. At one point all of the characters will come together but they are presented along their own timelines. The first time I saw the movie I was disoriented at first but soon grew to understand the direction the tale was head. Like the confused soldiers, airmen and civilians order came from chaos.The action sequences are truly terrifying. We see ships sinking, huge objects now wallowing in the sea, solid surfaces slipping out from beneath the feet of the men they carry. The dogfight scenes are intense. I found myself leaning in the banking planes. In Dunkirk, we rarely get a full sense of the aerial situation. We see the pilot's face more often than his view and when we see his view it is restricted, not some godlike sense of what is happening. Only on occasion do the camera's pull back and give us an idea of the over situation. Tension builds in most scenes and the way the story is cut together it builds and builds until the moment when the characters come together.Dunkirk is a story of a victory within a defeat.It is not an attempt to be a historical documentary.It is an amalgam of experiences and accounts assembled into a telling that allows you to enter the world of those who lived it.If you want to understand history, movies are not the place to look since that is not their purpose.I was entertained by this movie.Watching is a second time at home I felt the tension and emotions that welled up when I saw this in the theater.

Interesting movie about the rescue of British and French soldiers from the Germans that was invading Dunkirk

Magnificent portrayal of this great moment in British history. 5 stars.
