I think the story was just fine, and the movie is probably in my top 5 all time. And if you were intrigued by the science behind it you should read the book about it by Kip Thorne. Fascinating and easy to read.
I should have seen Dunkirk in theaters. I watched it on a flight, and of all of Nolan's movies it's probably my least favorite. I acknowledge that it's good, but I don't have much interested in seeing it again. The experience wasn't really there on the tiny screen.Bunk Moreland said:

None of those films would be in my top 10 movies of all time though easily top 100. But combine the films with the theater/imax/35mm experience for each and they all became near perfection in their own unique way.
I saw it three times in the theater. The sound was simply astounding. Another movie had come out after Dunkirk's release that I was seeing, and at some point I had to use the restroom; I'm standing there doing my business, and I could hear the BAM-BAM-BAM when the Heinkel's guns opened up on Tom Hardy's Spitfire through the adjoining wall.dc509 said:I should have seen Dunkirk in theaters.

Dunkirk II: The Untold Story - Clint Eastwood, digital John Wayne, Vin Diesel, and Chris Tucker take back the beach using a combination of bald eagles, AK-47s, stealth bombers, and patriotism.PatAg said:
I think it's just hard for the average American to care about any WWII story that isn't about our role in it.

It does, but I failed to make the connection, initially, that Nolan was showing us the same events from the different timing perspectives.bobinator said:Quote:

Doesn't it literally say it on the screen to start the movie?

Yeah, way before the Fourth. Traditionally, at least. That said, there are currently multiple spots running on TV (sans a release date) and this past week especially has seen a ton of cast interviews, social media content, etc. Also, check out the quote a few posts above where Nolan and Emma Thompson discuss the release for the first time publicly. The impression I'm getting is that it's sounding less and less like a case of it having to be July 17 or else it gets pushed back to the fall/end of the year. They're basically saying, when theaters are ready, they'll be ready. And because the theatrical landscape is so in flux right now, it could simply be more of a play-it-by-ear scenario, where maybe it hits, say, the first week of August instead. I could be wrong, but it's looking to me like they're going to continue the marketing push as is, and then whenever they can finally nail down an exact date, they'll simply make an announcement and start adding that date to the ongoing marketing, even if that date might be a week or two or three after the 17th, hypothetically. Granted, that would of course affect Wonder Woman 1984's mid-August release (another Warner Bros. movie), but again, maybe, given the landscape, they could easily shift that one back a couple weeks as well. Or, heck, maybe even have both out at the same time. It's the Wild West right now, so anything seems possible.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but is Interstellar Zimmer's best soundtrack/score ever made? I typically listen to it while working as background noise and damn, it just never disappoints. I'd love input from others.Bunk Moreland said:

July 31st is also the same day the NBA is currently set to return. What a welcomed weekend that will be.
His bombastic theme that plays as the STAR TREK title card appears on screen is so good.PatAg said:
Just adding Giachhino onto the list of making great soundtracks for movies/shows. The music of Lost is just amazing.
