I've heard good things.

I'll, uh, borrow it on the interwebs.

About the only time these days that I'll go to theatre is if it's a new X-Men flick. You need a 60' screen to appreciate those.

Historical films tend to be inaccurate so I am a bit apprehensive.

Truthify may say hitler didn't screw up at Dunkirk. That's just Jewish propaganda.

No!!! This is a theater experience movie. The soundtrack alone demands you be in a theater-sized very loud surround sound situation. Trust me!

The sound/music with the air fights literally made our seats vibrate. (Btw, I've never seen a movie that made these dogfights seem so real. They alone are worth the price of admission).

We are lucky to have a theater with plush reclining reserved seats with trays. It's literally better than home now.

Why would you wonder? Just ask me.

A USA Today review of “Dunkirk” is warning viewers that it lacks women and minorities.

Imagine that, no "people of color" on the beaches of Dunkirk and no "powerful feminists" during 26 May to 4 June 1940.

I'm with NighTrain, looking forward to borrowing this :laugh2:

When Hollywood bothers to do a movie with an important and quality theme like this, we should support them with our dollars. There's tons of crap out there you can " borrow". Don't want to preach, but I feel strongly about WWII and Vietnam Nam in particular, and I want the public to remember the sacrifices made. A movie can do that better than almost anything.

As for women and minorities in the film, good grief.

FTR, there were two women in the film. Both were nurses. One was seen from a distance, and only one had a speaking part. She had exactly one short line. It was perfect.

I am hoping gays are clearly represented.

I "borrow" for later, I don't care how observant one is, you don't see all the nuances the first time thru

Right now, the Lady and I are planning a date night. She has training to go to in West Palm, and we plan on taking Matilda (the R/V) for a few day's stay. So we WILL be seeing this, hopefully on IMAX :salute:

Do you have Kodi? :)

My daughter saw the movie - thought it was beautifully-made.

I do!

I haven't gotten to the borrowing of movies using Kodi yet, that still requires some effort on my part to figure out which add-ons I'll need. I'm a bit leery of user-contributed programs like that... never know what kind of sleeper code is there undetected until a real big problem erupts.

I use another web streaming outfit that makes their money by redirecting you to scumbag pages which are easily refused on my end via Domain Blocker. The problem is many new movies end up being dubbed over in Hindu or something silly like that and it's getting worse as far as finding a normal version, so I'll probably get learned up about Kodi when I get some free time.

We don't have a luxury theater here, but those sound pretty nice.

Got family here visiting from WI so I'll be on the run for the next week... after that maybe Sharon and I will go down and see it.

Back home (for now), the Lady & I went to West Palm so we decided to take in the Movie.

Saw it in IMAX and was glad we did! Great flick, very worth watching.

Got a theater in my house. Have invested what I know some of my friends think of as crazy money, the last edition to the theater being the SVS PB-2000 subwoofer, that even setting on a 1" thick slab of granite, will quite literally shake the entire living room. I'm all set up for 4K, so I'm hoping Dunkirk comes on in 4K, but I built this home theater just so I wouldn't have to go to a theater. I really detest sitting in those filthy seats, not knowing if the last person shit their pants or was dripping bodily fluids, or have some little kid sit behind you kicking your seat, or have the person behind you coughing or sneezing all over the back of your head... no thanks. I enjoy movies so, my only option was build a home theater.

Well, Drifter, our theater's rows of reclining seats are so far apart, no one could kick my seat if they tried.

That's fantastic. Never seen a theater like that before. Course it's been decades since I've been in one.

It's a Regal theater and only about 2-3 years old here. I used to dread the theater because I am an absolute magnet for kids kicking the back of my seat. And also having to get there early to get a decent seat. Now I choose and reserve the exact seats I want on line, and arrive as late as I want. And I seriously don't have a recliner at home as luxe as these.

There is an AMC theater nearby that serves food and alcoholic drinks to your reclining seats, but I've never been to that one.
