From filmmaker Christopher Nolan (“Interstellar,” “Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy) comes the epic action thriller “Dunkirk.” “Dunkirk” opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea, they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in. The story unfolds on land, sea and air. RAF Spitfires engage the enemy in the skies above the Channel, trying to protect the defenseless men below. Meanwhile, hundreds of small boats manned by both military and civilians are mounting a desperate rescue effort, risking their lives in a race against time to save even a fraction of their army.Exclusive behind the scenes content showcasing how the miracle of Dunkirk was recreatedCreation: Revisiting The Miracle (Featurette) 7:44 Creation: Dunkerque (Featurette) 4:53 Creation: Expanding the Frame (Featurette) 3:22 Creation: The In-Camera Approach (Featurette) 5:47 Land: Rebuilding the Mole (Featurette) 5:55 Land: The Army On the Beach (Featurette) 5:13 Land: Uniform Approach (Featurette) 5:16 Air: Taking to the Air (Featurette) 12:27 Air: Inside the Cockpit (Featurette) 5:53 Sea: Assembling the Naval Fleet (Featurette) 3:34 Sea: Launching the Moonstone (Featurette) 5:49 Sea: Taking to the Sea (Featurette) 13:37 Sea: Sinking the Ships (Featurette) 7:22 Sea: The Little Ships (Featurette) 5:51 Conclusion: Turning Up the Tension (Featurette) 7:10 Conclusion: The Dunkirk Spirit (Featurette) 7:47

Solid war film
What I liked a lot about Nolan's film was its grim portrayal of the arbitrariness of death on the battlefield that come come from any direction at any time. It showed how random and scary and awful it must be to be under threat of bullets...Stuka divebombers...torpedoes... artillery. It also nicely showed the grim lot of an army in defeat. Beautifully, yet unsentimentally shot on giant Imax cameras. (A 54 pound handheld camera, yikes!) Enjoyed the extras a lot, too. Did you know that many of the small boats shown actually took part in the real Dunkirk evacuation in 1940? The one great flaw is that Nolan fails to portray the massiveness of the operation. 400,000 men were taken off that beach. But Nolan is famously averse to digital effects, and the lines of soldiers simply look sparse and underwhelming. All he had to do was go to Peter Jackson's Weta for digital soldiers up and down the beach. A misfire, I think.

Excellent Special Effects - Lousy Script
Special Effects are best of any war action movie I have ever seen, especially the air engagements. Aircraft are historically accurate, too. Most war movies these days use computer generated air combat scenes that still look fake. This production did not go that route. What a wonderful job in that respect!Unfortunately the script is terribly disjointed. I was constantly wondering where I was. It keeps jumping around to different parties being foiled trying to escape. I've always heard fantastic numbers of men managed to make it back to England, but the impression I am left with from the movie is that very few actually made it! The movie desperately needs a more accurate story line.

Download code does not work in U.S.
Advertised as region free and the BluRay disc plays without issue in the U.S. However, the code included in the box for the digital download does not work. It returns an error that says it is not valid in your region (U.S.). I sent a request to Warner Brothers for a code that would work. They answered no they would not give me one, that the disc was not intended for sale in the U.S. and therefore they could not provide a code. This is not a review of the movie, which is great, but of the product and the seller who is falsely adverting this as a digital download which works anywhere. Kudos to Amazon, they promptly issued a refund, but I see it is still for sale.
