I liked Dunkirk, but to be honest would expect a little bit more from Mr. Nolan...
It's an OK movie, but nothing special, will forget it easily... though this is not Nolan's fault. We have seen a lot of war movies and it's hard to show new.
My personal favorite will still remain Interstellar and The Dark Knight.
Audio-visually it's very good, but music sound track is not as strong as in the other movies.
I also noted on the other Dunkirk thread occasional strange lighter area across the bottom of the screen in the dark imax scenes. Looked almost like this part of the film was fogged through light leakage. Again viewing on an OLED TV.As an OLED owner, for me this is very far from a technical masterpiece.
The day scenes perhaps but the night scenes are pretty awful, and this is inexcusable now in my opinion. Many of the night scenes were badly exposed and too light destroying their impact, some had compression artifacts, also inexcusable. The star lit scenes should have been pitch black, these also completely lost any impact.
Obviously most of this doesnt get picked up on LCD as they cant do true black, these problems disappear in a sea of grey/black which I guess is why this gets a "reference" rating.
For me Nolan needs up his game, he needs to master on OLED and if he is doing already he needs to take a lot more care with his dark scenes.
example scenes 0043: 0045, the back drop of these scene should have been inky black, no a mess of noise, macroblocks, greys and blues. Just a mess.
It could also be down to him just not caring about home viewing. I'm assuming all the things not working for you are relatively normal for huge projection. It's not like you choose to film in IMAX because of all those 55 and 65" TV's at home.As an OLED owner, for me this is very far from a technical masterpiece.

Cgi would have spoilt the movie, for me it was perfect as it is, Nolan wanted a stripped back film, and he created one.. I've watched it three times its so basic, and the three different perspectives are very fitting... The sound of the spitfires including all the rattles was perfect.I reckon movie is pretty good 7/10 but lacks scale big time. He should have used CGI IMO.
However the soundtrack was fantastic. Easily the best part of the movie.
They couldn't include Atmos because the sound was never mixed in Atmos. It was 5.1 at the cinema too.Not shore about getting this looks good on the reviews but paying the extra over the blu ray and they could not be bothered to include atmos or a dtsx i dont care how good the dts master audio track is
I'd love to give my opinion on this as I got it for Christmas and we were going to watch it but unfortunately it just froze and stuttered from the getgo so couldn't get past 3 or 4 minutes. It appears that others have had the same problems. It will be going back.
