    Default Dunkirk

    Fabulous, fabulous movie. Soundtrack is fantastic.
    I cried throughout. God, war movies are the best. The bravery gets me every time.

    Go see it!!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Do you have Kodi?

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

    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.

    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.
