Only scratches the surface...
..... of what truly transpired during those couple of days.. Granted you can't re-create all the amazing heroic efforts the British people did those days as there were many sacrifices and many amazing things accomplished with sailboats and small craft that were never meant to brave the treacherous waters of the Channel.. They brought soldiers back with some of them bailing leaky overloaded boats with their hands and helmets just to keep going for the English shore. Saving all those lives meant they had more to fight back the onslaught they were facing.
Personally the whole story in my opinion should be created in a mini-series type show but I realize that majority of public may not be eager to see such a series.
I give the director and crew credit they did successfully capture the personal human side of they amazing event that transpired and you did get a good sense of what they accomplished with so little and Gods will.Read full review...

Not that entertaining
The movie didn't really draw me in. It could of been great but it was kind of like sitting back and reading a report of what happened. This could of been such a powerful movie but left me feeling like I watched a group of short clips put together with very little story. They need writers like when they made movies like Midway etc...Read full review...

An Awesome World War II Movie
This is an excellent movie that tells the story of the evacuation of Dunkirk without bogging down in extraneous details. It doesn't go into politics or the reasons why it came to be, it just gives us a soldier's view of what actually happened with magnificent realism. If you're a World War II history buff, this is a movie you can't miss. Even if you're not, it's worth seeing how thousands of ordinary people accomplished heroic deeds. The bonus material about how the movie was filmed shows the extraordinary measures taken by the producers to accurately recreate this fascinating piece of history.Read full review...

It's in between terrible and unsatisfactory. I'd say 1.5 stars
When the movie came out, I was extremely excited about it due to its PG-13 rating and the ability to watch it with my son. I LOVE War movies and Westerns. I'm glad we didn't waste our time seeing it in the theater and I'm even more glad I only have $7 invested in this movie. It's almost like they spent all this time and money making a good movie only to have the editor let their kid do the final edit with iMovie or something, taking out storylines and plots. I spent half the movie trying to figure out if they were showing flashbacks and going back in time. This SHOULD have been a great movie. The only thing good I can say about it is that at least it wasn't long.
I normally don't take the time to write reviews on the actual movie, but this one was so bad I had to at least warn people.Read full review...

Meh
I bought this for my 87 year old father as part of his Christmas gifts this year as he is heavily involved in WW2 documentaries and films. I eagerly awaited its arrival as I was sure it would be great. Perhaps I was not the target audience as I knew very little about Dunkirk and what those poor fella went thru. I am a Tom Hardy fan and the only scenes of him are as a pilot and his face is covered so it is not much like he is even in the film. I had a hard time following the characters, nobody really stood out, also the constant switching from boat to boat then being back in the water left me confused. I expected better from this director.Read full review...

unusual
this is a war film done in a different way. not the usual gung-ho, characters very human. since based on truth ending is partially predictable. I 4 one thought of 2 different fates 4 the RAF fighter pilot.Read full review...

No names?
Gift for my husband. He watched it the other day and found it really odd that not one of the characters was referred to by name (other than 'Son' and 'Father'). This made it a little difficult to connect to the characters.Read full review...

Dunkirk
An interesting movie but there could have been more continuity. It was a little confusing at first, and from time to time throughout as the action kept switching from one set of people to another. Also it covers only a small segment of what happened.Read full review...

A MUST SEE
As an avid student of WW II, and specifically of England's involvement in the conflict, I LOVE this special DVD edition of "Dunkirk". I was particularly captivated by the Special Effects DVD. After watching the movie, I was amazed with the reality of the violence, destruction and death created by the special effects. It DVD set of Dunkirk is A MUST SEE for all serious students of WW II in the European Theater.
They, literally, bring to life the fact that Dunkirk was A MIRACLE!
Sincerely,

ENLIGHTENING DETAILS OF HUMAN SUFFERING
Engaging characters made this film like a documentary of the horrible losses & suffering of the men during & after the end of the war. I have not seen or read of the aftermath of British & French soldiers and how the horrors of the German's evil motivation attempts to control of the world. The movie left me with a sobering reality of the lostness of mankind on both sides; humbling thoughts of this perspective.
The DVD product was quality & received in excellent condition.Read full review...
