Slightly better still:

It looked handsome but that’s about all.

Update: There is no Dunkirk thread.

But I did find a lot of posts disparaging it, those were fun.

I liked Dunkirk (didn't love it) but it's complete and utter trash next to Blade Runner 2049.

It felt real though. It captured the spirit and tone of the time. But it’s an excercise in suspense with no real outcome or payoff.
So I guess it has something in common with Blade runner.

‘Because we can. Because why not’

Which is it’s own kind of art I guess.

However, although some events are based on true history, the characters and the storyline are fictional; Branagh's role is a composite character.[179] When the beach scenes were shot, the weather was worse than during the real evacuation; Nolan explained that this helped to understand the danger faced by the pleasure boats.[180] In one scene, an officer gives a salute without wearing his military beret, which a veteran pointed out as inaccurate protocol.[181] The German planes had noses painted yellow in the film; this was not actually done until a month after Dunkirk.[179] The involvement of French, African, and Indian soldiers was either limited or left out.[169][176] Modern shots were used for the aerial photographs, whereas in reality the town was substantially in ruins by the time of the evacuation. The design of the leaflets dropped from the air demanding the British surrender was artistic and not one used in 1940.[176]

I don't understand this at all.

Did you see Dunkirk? They tell you the end of the movie and then go about telling you how they got there. This is repeated throughout the movie where they show you something and then a little later show you what happened previously.
