I had to make special plans to see it so I understand.

Better get your 'extra luvin chair' out to stand on Gus.  :DD   I know, I know-- cheap shot. But better I said it first before someone who would really hurt your feelings.

QuoteThe trio of timelines can be jarring as you figure out how they all fit, and the fact that there are only a couple of women and no lead actors of color may rub some the wrong way. Still, Nolan's feat is undeniable: He's made an immersive war movie that celebrates the good of mankind while also making it clear that no victory is without sacrifice.

He could have told the story of all the black female tankers the Wehrmacht was using in 1940 if he wanted to.

Heh. Have the PC and SJW waves crested yet? Because I like them as much as mirth likes humidity.

Yeah, I saw that story from USAToday posted by someone on FB and it had me furious (fuhrer-ous)...until I realized it was probably a troll move on USAToday's part to get everyone talking about USAToday and get people to go to their site. That's even more annoying than that stupid SJW crap the author spewed out.

Sir Slash

I have it on very good authority that the film will have the battle a result of a failed love relationship between Churchill and Goring. And the Spitfires will be running on solar power. Can't wait!

This is one that might be worth seeing in IMAX

Saw the movie yesterday, definitively something you want to see in IMAX where possible. Unfortunately wasn't an option for me.

So how was it? How do you go watch and enjoy a movie that's been hyped up so much? Also, we're a difficult breed to make happy when it comes to war movies.

Well, it was refreshingly quite something else that I assumed it to be. And while at times I was wondering about certain things, the movie kept getting more and more tense as it went along, having started pretty much at full steam to begin with.

But no spoilers, go see it, worth watching for sure. I'd suggest skip any trailers before seeing it, true to any movie I guess. So annoying to realise oh that scene is coming now.
