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. The story is so simple but is so epic and the director Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins the cinematographer should be given tons of awards for this tremendous achievement in film. Everyone needs to run out and see this movie now!!

excellent movie with truly top notch camera work. There are only three full cuts in the entire movie. Otherwise it's shot as if a single camera following the main characters throughout the film.

The cinematography is beyond anything I have seen before. The story was gripping and keeps you interested all the way thru, BUT the WAY it is presented .. as a single camera, continuous shot from beginning to end, I have never seen anything like that before!

Excellent cinematic beauty, phenomenal score. Story was very simple but I still enjoyed it and that I felt like I was on the journey with them. Some moments were pretty intense, I jumped a few times lol. Best war movie I've seen in years.

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.
