It felt slow moving to me because you see the same events happen a few times over since the story isn't told in a non linear way. The beach POV is told over a week, sea told over a day, air told over an hour. All of them eventually come together to a single focal point. Different way to tell the story, but it felt slow moving to me because I saw some of the same things happen from three different points of view across three different points in time.
That's precisely what I envoyed in the movie : the same events from different points of view. For me it strengthens the emotion and the intensity. It's not just a formal trick
Spoiler 2:
The film opens with a group of soldiers in the streets of the town just off the beach.

When the film transitions for the first time to each of those places, that's when the title cards are shown.

Rotten Tomatoes now says that the embargo for reviews lifts on the 17th, not the 14th as previously stated. Just FYI.

Not used for discussion. Everyone can post official reviews and I'll try and update the first post with all of the reviews

Yep, a typo as I predicted. Still not too bad I guess.

People should not be posting no-name critics with no credibility in the official reviews thread.

Also, isn't the embargo suppose to lift today?

Edit: Nvm, apparently it's on Monday.
What time on Monday does it lift?
