Atom User Reviews for 1917
Wonderful story told in a way I’ve never experienced before. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
This is one of those films, not a movie, a film, that must be seen in the movie theater. It is so expertly crafted and well made, it’s breathtaking in it’s execution. 1917 is one of the most beautifully shot and haunting war films I have ever seen and is a harrowing film.…

Alongside joker the best movies of the year! I cried like a baby! Really intense and very moving! Love the performances : )
Not a big fan of war movies . My brother loves them so I always see them anyways . 1917 is by far the BEST one I have ever seen . Masterful videography, stunning scenery, and most of all impressive one shots . Will buy on DVD when. Comes out
Most boring movie ever
Scenes and effects were great. Character behavior doesn't feel right, not believable.
One of the most boring movies I have watched in my life The whole story is about a price of paper Not 1 scene of pure action
Very good movie, a little slow to start but the acting is very good and the cinematography is unbelievable, definitely worth seeing in the theater.
Great story. Lots of tense moments.
Very heavy, but it seemed to be a very realistic depiction of WWI / Enjoyed it
Excellent piece of work. A must watch.
The cinematography pushes this over the edge. The story was unoriginal, but the process was definitely amazing.
Great storyline, Visuals and sound effects
A lot of expected action missing. Amazing site sighting.
Amazing filming technique. Absolutely loved the movie
A must see. This movie is amazing start to finish. Little heads up, it is very intense which causes anxiety. Story line is amazing. Acting is top of the line, and my heavens, beautiful cinematography.
The filmography is incredible
this movie has your attention from beginning to end.
Best war movie Ive seen in a long time, an absolutely must see for everyone!
Incredible cinematography! An amazing film and a must see

This movie was amazing. One of the best military movies I've seen in awhile.
Amazing cinematography by Roger Deakins and a captivating edge of your seat tale you want to see on the biggest loudest screen possible!
Great war drama
Great movie
Epic!
The first half is great.
Truly a marvel!! Search out the biggest screen to watch this on, it deserves all of the praise it's getting right now and even more!!
A technical masterpiece as a single camera tells this awsome story!
Some of the transitions were noticeable, but that's a really minor thing.
Was a great movie.
Loved the courage seen in the movie. This is a must see!
Loved the movie, now I know why it won best director at the golden globes.
Although it was based on a true story; one actually would think that there would be way more action. I should e waited til it hit Netflix 🤷🏾♂️
Absolutely amazing!
Overhyped
I HAVE TO KEEP GOING
Amazingly made film and story. Suspenseful throughout and couldn’t take my eyes away from the screen! Worth it to see it in Dolby.
Loved this motion picture. I felt that it could have been shown in 3D or Dolby cinema. I felt that I was on the war, the visuals were breathtaking. I thought of Wonder Woman's movie too. Oscar worthy!!
Love the one scene filming style of the movie
With so many exceptional war films to choose from over the years of my generation, from Platoon to Apocalypse Now to Full Metal Jacket, there are not many I can recall at my age that transverse a story of WWI the way this film did for me. I had heard rumors that Sam Mendes…
I thought this move was pretty Decent. I don’t see many war movies, but this one was good. It was shot and filmed in order with one camera and if you didn’t know that before watching it, it really wouldn’t matter anyways. Just a unique way to capture movies these days. I’m…
Best movie of the year!!
Exceptional camera work and planning. Rousing/sobering score. Very good watch
Absolutely incredible movie. Raw, gritty, intense and doesn't hold back much from such an ugly time.
Metacritic
War is much on the minds of people right now, and 1917 is a good reminder, flaws and all, of what that really entails. The contradiction, of course, is that it is not one long slog through gorgeous sunsets, but a million little moments that make up the effort. That’s kind of the movie Mendes made, and yet it’s not. You want to feel a movie like this, but too often you simply appreciate it.
The film is a genre entertainment and, like all such beasts, it honours certain conventions and allows certain compromises.
As 1917 goes on and the pair face a series of logistical challenges (navigating a collapsing bunker, crossing a bombed-out bridge), the film’s form begins to resemble that of a video game—only without the user interaction that makes games so compelling.
