I am in complete awe of what I just witnessed. It's like nothing else that has ever been made. An absolute masterpiece.

Movie really was great. Maybe not the best movie I've ever seen but one of the best war movies I've ever seen for sure. Second best movie of 2019 imo.

Absolutely. I saw it in Dolby which is much better than IMAX. But yeah see it on whatever premium screen you can.

Late in the movie I started tearing up because I was in such awe. The things they do, from a filmmaking standpoint, blew me away. If you've never made a movie, you probably can't understand how amazing it is.

Fabricated with British accents and a period piece to get Oscar attention= another thing

It's so generic to set a movie circa 1800-1920 with British actors. It's been done to death

Smh the movie was great. Roger Deakins did the cinematography. This Oscar bait nonsense doesn't always mean it's a shallow movie. This isn't like Two Popes. Saving Private Ryan was also Oscar bait and it was great.

Oh, nice edit. First you said to 1915, so now add some years so it actually fits in with when this film takes place.

You have no idea what you're talking about. This is a war film, nothing like the Queen Elizabeth period pieces you're referring to. It depicts a pivotal moment in the war and would blow your mind.

saw it in Dolby which is much better than IMAX.

Not always, IMAX laser is best picture quick and true IMAX does a higher screen ratio than dolby. But since there isn't consistently on what imax is, Dolby is better than many imax

There are so few "true" IMAX screens now that this is a moot point. It's more just a brand. IMAX doesn't allow reclining seats still which automatically hurts it big time. In fact my friend was going to see it today but backed out when they realized IMAX doesn't have reclining seats. He's a dumbass for doing that though.

Well, for the past 2 years I've seen all the Oscar movies, and predicted the winners of all the major categories. I expect to do the same this year. 1917 will be sweeping best picture, director, cinematography, original soundtrack, sound recording, and sound mixing.

Last I've seen, only a few IMAX theaters in the country have recliners. The CEO is against it because it means much less seats per theater.

I literally did not say that. You're just upset because you saw it in IMAX. I'm not hating, it's just a fact that Dolby is better and that's why it costs more.

I just watched it. Beautifully shot, incredibly well acted, and well paced. It even made me shed a few tears. Probably my second favorite film of 2019, after Joker, although I can admit that this was better by just about all criteria (I just prefer Joker as I like superhero stuff)
