1917

[The Professor]

Has anyone seen this movie? They have advertised the heck out of it, popping up all over my Facebook page.

I hear it’s getting great reviews and won a Golden Globe. I’m going to be in Richmond Monday and I’m either going to watch 1917 or Star Wars.

My wife and I went on Saturday and maybe I just had really high expectations because the previews looked so good, but I left the theater disappointed. I personally don't think it lived up to the hype and I wouldn't put it high on my war movie list.

 

I just felt like there wasn't really a whole lot to the story. Not much action over all. Just didn't do it for me. Curious what others think.

They have $5.75 Tuesdays at one of the movie theaters here in Louisville, and I'm planning on checking it out either tomorrow night or next Tuesday.

I felt that way after watching “Dunkirk”. The previews looked great but when the movie finished it didn’t exactly wow me, although I did enjoy it.

I saw it on opening night and regardless of what your expectations are for the plot, the cinematography is second to none. The camera angles really give you a first hand idea of the scale of the bunkers, battle grounds, etc. This alone is worth the price of admission.

I'm glad you mentioned Dunkirk. I liked that one more but felt similar after both.

Yeah, you are right there. I guess for me, that type of stuff isn't something that really moves me in a movie.

I never got caught up in the hype or even paid much attention to the trailers and ads. Wife and I went this afternoon and really enjoyed it. If constant action is your thing, then this isn't it. This movie however, never really gets bogged down and keeps moving. I liked the story.

So it is a real account of WWI.
