Fantastic film, but I'm noticing a trend with Nolan's movies where you can't hear a word anyone is saying. This movie has very little dialog but so much of it is almost unintelligible. Characters are shouting lines in thick accents with loud background audio.

I also feel like the plot got muddled at some points - What's happening in this scene? Who got shot down? What side are they? Who is this person? Was it the same person as before? I don't know, *almost all of the British soldiers look alike.* I went with many friends who also said they had these two issues.

That being said: the cinematography is stunning. There's some truly tense scenes in this film. It's well written, the multiple storylines fit together well and it seems pretty historically accurate, as much as it can be at least. The non-dialogue audio is absolutely spot-on, you must watch this in a theater with great surround sound. Interesting choices were made regarding the constant background of music/sound and I think it works incredibly well to set the mood of each scene. Overall it's a solid film but not my favorite.

@agentdrtran I agree with the Audio. I had the same issue with Interstellar as well. Had to wait until home release to watch with subtitles to make out what they were saying.

@agentdrtran In response to the end of paragraph 1 and all of 2, I feel like that's kind of the point. A lot of the young men are in fact similar, from different walks of life and thrown in to war. The horrific screeching of the planes, and the ear ringing impact of the explosions, it must've been deafening, confusing and terrifying. The thick accents is quite accurate as well I would imagine.
