While Gag seemed a bit disappointed by Dunkirk, I've just come out the cinema and believe that it's the best film of the year so far. Really powerful. I might go and see it again at the end of the week.

Every review i've read has been overwhelmingly positive. Delighted you enjoyed it Justin.

I have it earmarked already as my New Years Eve film.

(You know what gag's like - if he won £1m on the lottery he'd still moan about it)

A lot of reviews are recommending the IMAX presentation so if I go again I'll do that!

I haven't seen Dunkirk yet, but my brother did yesterday and said he loved the film, with special praise for the score, so maybe it's a matter of taste.

I have tickets booked to see it on Thursday at Cineworld where it will be digitally projected onto a regular screen, but I really want to go and see it at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford where will be a full IMAX screen and 70mm film. I read that approximately 75% of the film was recorded on IMAX cameras on 70mm film and there is a distinct difference between film and digital, so it would be great to see it in both, and especially on a 60 feet high screen.

The score really heightens the tension, as Gag said there is a feeling of something happening all the way through, I'd go further to say there is a feeling of unease and not knowing what is going to happen to the lads on the beach.

I'm going to see if it's available to stream already and listen to it again, another great Hans Zimmer score in my opinion.

Is that because it's not an action film and based on actual events?

So why lump it in with action films in your original post?
