I can see it being similar to Mad Max: Fury Road and all it's detractors going, "It's so overrated! There was no character development! It was just one big chase movie!"

They can't attribute the raves to being supportive of minorities or feminism at least this time.£

Dunkirk doesn't have much action. It has a relentless score (not very loud) so you always feel like something is going on, but it plays very slowly. I mean that in a good way.

I liked the action in Mad Max: Fury Road. I just thought it was a weird movie. Not my cup of tea. The guitarist was the best part of that though. Couldn't stop laughing at him.

Dunkirk isn't "weird" though. I think general audiences 30+ will really get a kick out of this. I think teenagers seeing it for Harry Styles will be disappointed (not in Styles, but the kind of movie they are seeing). I also think the more educated you are on the events surrounding this evacuation and the miracle itself, the more you will like this movie.

I just don't know how many U.S. audiences will be coming back after opening week, that's my only concern at this point.

Well, mine was Monday, and there were two theaters within an hour of each other (I'm wedged right in between) showing it then. Outside of that, no screenings around until tomorrow. Guess I was just lucky.

It's probably that this subforum leans heavily towards Europeans countries that have a release date of July 19.

If a movie doesn't even set out to lay enough groundwork for character analysis, how can you even criticize that for not having character development lol. If it wanted to do that and utterly failed, then yea it's a different story.

But I mean in a perfect world we'd judge movies by what the creators tried to convey and whether they failed/succeded, not by what WE wanted the movie to be only

Not a review, but Vulture ranks all 10 Christopher Nolan movies and gives Dunkirk #1

Mine is a midnight screening, so it's officially on the 20th

I love the description they give Interstellar.
Is it true though - are people finally starting to come around to it after its divisive debut?

EDIT: Well the comments seem to disagree with the author's opinion on Interstellar
