Do I think this movie is the greatest ever? No
Do I think it sucks? No
I think it's a better than average war film that sometimes suffers from the "one-take" thing they were trying to do
An incredible technical achievement-that's all. The story has already been told a lot of times, nothing interesting there. So for pure visual experience a 7/10.
It's not a war movie, It's about strength of our own will in hard times.
Nice to see known actors here and there and the main two protagonists were really great. The movie really took me there with them, and I was all the time expecting the worst to happen. I really enjoyed it.
Great epic.
Specialised in dealing with the cruelty of war.
Incredible cinematic perspective. Very moving story. Felt the emotion throughout. Realistic and extremely captivating
Really enjoyed. Awesome filming perspective
That was intense. I didn't really know about the whole oneshot thing so I just noticed it after about 20 or so minutes into the movie. But not only this technical feat impressed me. The acting was on point and delivered the otherwise not really great story very in a way that put me on the edge of my seat for the whole two hours. Excellent movie, watch it in cinemas if you can!
I feel like after seeing this watching movies is going to feel completely different. Never had a movie take my breath away like that.
Despite the Golden Globe awards, didn't impress me. Acting was dope though.
The story is incredibly predictable and kind of boring so I don't see it winning the Oscar for best picture. Instead it should get two Oscars for best cinematography cause wow, just wow. It's a pure pleasure to watch and could as well been a silent movie as far as I care.
Almost the revenant plus a generic WW1 premise and the same old war rescue plot. Nothing new.
This film is overwhelming. I have nothing further to add, other than the compelling need for eternal remembrance to those who sacrificed their lives in any way, we can not fathom. We, citizens of any country, today, should feel ourselves lucky and blessed to exist. This tells a poignant story that touches you. It does so by being human, and not with blood and flying body parts. I was touched to tears in the end.
NB: Do not give it a second thought; watch it; even if this genre is not your cup of tea. After all, it is much more than a feature film. It's a massive dedication to unselfishness. This was an intense and expertly crafted film, very much worth your time, not just for the effects but for the impressive sound/score/directing. -Again, do yourself a favour and watch it.
The one-shot thing really worked on the story telling of this film. I’ve seen how they made it and it was really technical, and well thought of...but after seeing that last scene left me cold like...”that’s it?!” It’s impressive alright but i feel like there had to be something more to this.
I hope Sam Mendes wins best Director. That's really something very hard to beat
I was really surprised by this movie because I did not expect what I found. A way of filming with a continuous sequence shot, which immerses you in history as a companion over the protagonists. For me one of the favorites to best address without a doubt.
Saving Private Ryan, only set 1 world war earlier.
Well if everyone says it's good then it must be good. Watched it on my computer, maybe u have to be in the theatre to feel it, but i think its overrated.
If i did know otherwise I just said this was Red Dead Redemption 3. It storyline is quite good but it's a visual effects makes it look more like PlayStation computer game.

What an adventure. If typical movies are buses, and scenes within are different bus stops, 1917 is a supersonic fighter jet taking you around the world, all in (seemingly) one tank of fuel. The movie can be a bit too slow at first, but as the final act draws near it will start to pickup pace. once you get to the scene in the ruins you will know that its the right call to go Imax.
The good thing that is said about her is true, that it is in sequence sequence impresses more, the scenarios impress
Absolutely Fantastic film. Just an incredible experience. One of the most intense films I've seen at the cinema for a few years. Cinematography was spellbinding andalthough the story was simple you are swept away with the intensity of the acting and situation. Go and watch on a big screen with Atmos - you won't regret it.
The cinematography is fantastic some of the best of the decade, it looks beautiful and with the secret little things in the background it really is an experience to watch this in theaters. The acting is good and Sam Mendas looks like he was very passionate about making this film and he directed it very well. It is also very thrilling and the score is very good mixing great with the movie. Overall it’s probably the best movie of 2019 and will definitely win a few oscars.
(9 out of 10)
I gave this movie an 8/10 partly because I saw it in a small theater and the look was not right. If you see this, go to an IMAX. It is an assault on the eyes how beauty and ugliness find themselves together on the screen. The "one-camera long shot" gives you the feeling of being a part of the story. Your eyes become invested in it. And before you know it, you care about the soldiers and their well being. It's a simple story that is elevated by the actors - a lot of them major actors in bit roles - and the cinematography.
Once, the Lannisters and a Starks were more like brothers to each other.
This film is just great, it’s an amazing technical achievement. Let’s also not forget that the script elevates the experience by genuinly making you care about the main characters, something which Dunkirk completely failed at, for example. On the other hand, there are a few too many moments in the beginning where not much of interest is happening, and you’re just wandering along with these soldiers. You can’t complain about that for too long when it’s still a feast to look at, but I genuinly felt the movie picked up a lot more steam in the second half.
8/10

I generally don’t watch films like this; I find them too emotional. However, my son desperately wanted to see it.
And it was very difficult to watch, deeply emotionally, but I’m glad I did. It was a truly brilliant film on so many levels.
The cinematography was outstanding. The colours, scenes, audio etc where artwork. Almost immediately you are left speechless with the ‘one’ shots; something you rarely see, especially to this standard. It helps you feel like you are there, second by second.
A phenomenal line up of actors who gave it their all.
The story based on true events was told so simply, but yet had such incredible impact.
I’m glad I watched this; not only to see such a unique cinematographic achievement, but to be reminded of all those who served...each one a hero. And how we should all be thankful and grateful for what we have today.
