Going with my lass tomorrow afternoon.

I imagine it’s a far better film if see at the cinema , at bare minimum it needs to be HD if watching in tele

Went this morning. Absolutely fantastic. Go see it.

 

[GlosMackem]

Just seen it. Can't see how it doesn't win best pic at the Oscars.

Beautifully shot.

 

[DisillusionedOldGit]

Some of it was fillumed round here ( Teesdale) .

Watched it today, it’s ok,ww1 saving private Ryan. I thought some of the cinematography was average at best in places and it leaves you wanting more substance, a 12 second blackout halfway through which is probably half too long. Also down to the very closing scene you wonder why a drone wasn’t used to gain altitude and look back with a statement . It’s ok don’t get me wrong but it’s not a private Ryan and I don think it will sweep up at the oscars.

Saw it last night. It’s technically dazzling but it’s nowhere near the best war film I’ve seen. It lacked something for me although I can’t quite put my finger on what. I didn’t get drawn in emotionally at all and whilst the carnage of no mans land was done really well, the battle scenes such as they were seemed a bit insipid and didn’t do justice to what must have been horrific.

This for me.

The filming was superb but felt the storyline was too predictable, Also there wasn't enough combat for me. Some of it was completely unrealistic too.

7.5/10, worth a watch.

It's only 720? I'd rather pay to see it at the cinema

 

[BucketBiff]

Just been to see it on imax. Superb. Not sure it beats Saving Private Ryan. 8.5/10.

Exactly what I said to my lass after we’d seen it. Private Ryan is better but 1917 is a great film all the same. Superb in IMAX mind.

How does it feel to have a film named after the year you were born in?

More seriously, not seen a version but want to see it in the proper cinematic form.

Really that old? The things you find out

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Absolutely brilliant film. Moving and tense. I'd be surprised if there's a better film this year.

 

[Ghfd]

Was it as good as that true life film on the bbc last year where they colourised the old footage?

 

[Deleted member 7993]

I was going to go see it this morning,had things to do for the 10.30am showing however.

Why did I read that as the 10.30am showering. This feckin board twists your mind, and I bet you don't even have a dog

 

[Sumdumgi]

I really enjoyed it, like most films of this type you really have to see it in a cinema, its beautifully filmed. A simple story done well and moments of real emotion - not a blood and guts Private Ryan type and if that's what you expect and compare it with you will be disappointed.

I recognise one of the characters from Sunshine on Leith. in the trailers I’ve seen. He was a canny singer in that
