Christopher Nolan has made an immensely powerful film that may be about war, but it is first and foremost about people. About how strong they are, how weak they are, how they can come together, and also about how they can kick each other down. The film isn't great because it has great fight scenes, but because it captures the human fate and pain of war in an incredibly realistic way.

Christopher Nolan is a big name and a guarantee of the highest quality, and I always expect his movies to be brilliant, and IMAX lived up to the standard, but I also expect something extra that will completely blow my mind. Dunkirk is a great and honestly-made war movie, but emotionally cold; and for the first time in my life, I felt like I just wasn’t on the same wavelength with Nolan. I believe and hope that the next time I watch it I will experience stronger emotions, but I'm afraid I’d rather choose a different movie by Nolan instead. Any Nolan movie.
