An incredible technical achievement. Roger Deakins's cinematography elevates this decent war story to something that is one of a kind. There is hardly anytime to catch your breath. The score is fantastic. I need to see the making of documentary. Seeing this again it is still very impressive. The story is fine but the way we are always with Schofield and Blake with almost no relief makes this super tense. The score really is great.

What an experience! Incredible cinematography and directing, made to be like it was one-take. The hidden cuts were well implemented and in some cases very hard to spot. This film was very well done. The reason I gave it 9/10 was because I felt it had a weak story, otherwise it would be a 10/10, and I don't even like war films which is the surprising part. Definitely worthy of the golden globe win.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘1917’: 1. How the hell did they even film this? A cinematic achievement, indeed. The scope of it all is insane. 2. The two young actors were fantastic. Cared about them and their fate almost immediately. 3. Other reviews mention the film lacking despite its technical marvels. I wholeheartedly disagree. The storyline may have been simple, but I found it compelling, emotional and inspiring. And the score was fantastic. It wasn’t only filmed well.

Pros
+Looks Beautiful and Ugly at the same time (Ugly as in portraying the ugly circumstances of the war)
+The way it is shot is incredibly fluid, it's very much a long shot movie but there are maybe 5 actual like hard cuts in this and the hidden transitions are seamless. It really feels like More

It's not an action war movie, it's a drama/suspense war movie.

Visually stunning; the cinematography is on another level. The choice to hide cuts to make it look like one long, almost unending take is brilliant. The camera is constantly on the protagonists, giving a sense of poignancy to their j More

Almost everything I want to say about this movie, I can't say at the risk of sounding overly cliché. But all those things people say about how immersive this movie is... It's true. People saying how good the cinematography is... Uh, yeah, it's Roger Deakins. Of course it's going to look gorgeous.

I really wanted to give this film five stars, but there is a curious introspection that prevents me from calling it perfection. Nevertheless, ‘1917’ is a brilliant piece of art, and clearly a personal project for Sam Mendes. Blending groundbreaking technology with detailed production components, More
