This snoozer won three oscars but it’s important to note that none of them were for Best Plotline.
“1917” I’ll have to say, that the one thing that’s going for this war movie is.
I saw it on "the big screen" with enhanced sound and I flinched at the sniper's bullets at the bridge scene! Joker (BIL/HDUV/BD) [Blu-ray] Zero Character development, Zero Action and Zero entertainment value.
The "one shot" sequences worked very well. Fury (Bilingual) [Blu-ray + UltraViolet] KNIVES OUT BD+DVD [Blu-ray] (Bilingual) However, similarly to "Saving Private Ryan", there is a story that is driving the movie.
In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them. With the weight of the war on his shoulders, General Erinmore tasks Blake and Schofield to make the impossible journey across No Man's Land and find the 2nd Devons - who are on the verge of advancing to occupied territory.
Saw it twice in a BIG screen theater and just watched it again after the Blu-ray arrived today.
Look at the description showing all of the "all star" cast members that 95% of them were in it a combined total of 5 minutes.

Ludicrous script.

Je regarde beaucoup de films et les jeunes réalisateurs américains font des films mécaniquement en multipliant les plans superflus sans aucune quête esthétique.
Two British soldiers are sent with orders to stop a regiment from attacking into a German trap. $9.77.
It's apparent there was no military advisor on this film at all - it may be a small issue but real no soldier using a bolt-action ever makes such a foolish mistake.
You could see the action coming a mile off. Buy It Now.
This is just a slow, bad, poorly written and directed copy of Saving Private Ryan
My perspective comes from being a Vietnam War USAF vet.
They Shall Not Grow Old (DVD) This shopping feature will continue to load items when the Enter key is pressed.
Lance Corporal Tom Blake's brother, Lieutenant Blake is a proud officer in the 2nd Devons and has followed Colonel Mackenzie to the brink of the Hindenburg Line.
This movie has great cinematography, but aside from that it is rather tedious in its presentation.
He then after waking and leaving that same building while taking the prone position due to the flares ejects the 9 round of brass from the rifle and never once during the remainder of the film tops off his magazine (even though the rifle only had "one" round left).
Wise, insightful and kind, he gives Schofield strategic advice regarding the prickly Colonel Mackenzie. Even WWII is fading in the national consciousness with the death of our remaining WWII vets (my father-in-law being one four years ago).
Sam Mendes, the Oscar-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to this World War I epic.At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is so highly rated.
