Dunkirk

Dunkirk is a masterpiece, a classic movie. It's a visual treat. Nolan has given us a brilliant piece of cinema that looks and sounds extremely nice. And the blu-ray does complete justice to this beauty of a film. The 64-page digibook is the ultimate set to own. It contains 2 Blu-ray discs with one containing the movie and the other containing all the special features. The set contains beautiful images from the sets and is truly a collector's dream. Its a must-have for fans of the movie. Picture Quality- As I said, Dunkirk defines what a Blu-ray disc should look like. It is that good. The IMAX scenes deserve special mention. They look simply brilliant. Colors are bold and beautiful. The picture is exceptionally sharp. The Blu-ray is pushed to the limits in this one. Its a 5-star disc right from the beginning. Completely demo material. See it to believe it. Audio Quality- Though one would have expected immersive Dolby Atmos audio, still Nolan gives us a 5.1 dts-HD Master Audio. But the disappointment ends there. Because this 5.1 track is highly satisfying and won't let you miss Atmos. The soundtrack is very wide where everything is heard with mind-blowing clarity. The surrounds are almost always active. And then the Bass.... My GOD!!! The bass on this disc will rattle your building walls and shake your roof, its heart pounding, extremely punchy and very well designed. This audio is Gold standard. As good as the movie is, this excellent Blu-ray from Nolan and team does complete justice to it. Reference level video and demo-worthy audio truly enhances the movie watching experience. Fans are sure to be pleased.

Dunkirk is a special film from director Christopher Nolan. I wanted to get this Blu Ray ever since I watched the movie in IMAX. Almost 85% of the movie is shot with IMAX cameras which is really stunning. This is an WW2 evacuation story told in 3 different timelines (land,sea and air). Most of the movie is silent with little dialogue. The ability of Nolan to terrorize the viewers without using any blood/Gore is just magnificent. The visuals in this movie are stunning. This Blu Ray does retain the aspect ratio of IMAX sequences just like all other Nolan movies. Hans zimmer's soundtrack is chilling and brilliant. This Blu Ray is region free and it is the same one sold in US and UK. PS - Thanks to Excel for releasing this Digibook in India. They also sent a bonus free Blu ray movie for this pre order (Grapes of Wrath). I was really thrilled.

Awesome packaging very happy

Everything is great with the quality of the DVD but was disappointed with the broken case. This is the first time I witnessed something like this. Not expected from Excel

First off, this is NOT lenticular, as was advertised earlier. This does not matter, however, as the digibook is fantastic, with glossy cover, unlike the “Interstellar” digibook. Plus, as a pre order bonus, I received the classic Henry Fonda starrer “ Grapes of Wrath” in blu -ray. An excel-lent release from EXCEL ! (Justice League digibook is also advertised as lenticular at the time of writing. Hmmmm..

Amazing movie and superb package for this movie. If you have not seen it yet this is the ultimate way to see it. UHD 4K with HDR and Dolby vision and atmos audio. A thrilling and gripping true movie with a very stressing soundtrack. Must watch again

It is timeless. Perfectly paced, perfectly scored film that ties the story with appropriate tension. A must buy on blu ray. Audio and video both are reference material. Disc 2 has lot of special features. Go for it!!

Film is great by legendary director Christopher Nolan. And about this lenticular set, it’s a 2disc Blu-ray edition . On first Blu-ray is the film and second one contains special features. This is international collector edition. It is region free but there is no Hindi language option. Thanks amazon and excel :-)

It's a very good movie, with a different perspective

Conocía poco de este suceso histórico, pero la película lo ejemplifica de cierta forma. Buen drama, aunque pensé que no sería tan plana la historia. Excelente producto por la imagen.

The story telling method in Dunkirk is one of a kind and masterful. We see three converging threads in a central story. At one point all of the characters will come together but they are presented along their own timelines. The first time I saw the movie I was disoriented at first but soon grew to understand the direction the tale was head. Like the confused soldiers, airmen and civilians order came from chaos. The action sequences are truly terrifying. We see ships sinking, huge objects now wallowing in the sea, solid surfaces slipping out from beneath the feet of the men they carry. The dogfight scenes are intense. I found myself leaning in the banking planes. In Dunkirk, we rarely get a full sense of the aerial situation. We see the pilot's face more often than his view and when we see his view it is restricted, not some godlike sense of what is happening. Only on occasion do the camera's pull back and give us an idea of the over situation. Tension builds in most scenes and the way the story is cut together it builds and builds until the moment when the characters come together. Dunkirk is a story of a victory within a defeat. It is not an attempt to be a historical documentary. It is an amalgam of experiences and accounts assembled into a telling that allows you to enter the world of those who lived it. If you want to understand history, movies are not the place to look since that is not their purpose. I was entertained by this movie. Watching is a second time at home I felt the tension and emotions that welled up when I saw this in the theater.

This was a good movie. I had never heard of Dunkirk before, so some movies can be a gateway to diving deeper into history. I don't know how accurate this film is. The cinematography was splendid and the action sequences held my interest, which is rare considering that I tend to find war films boring, but this one wasn't boring. There were some mild negatives or cons. One of them is that as I was watching this I thought, "Wow they really didn't develop the characters much." There isn't much in the way of character development, which can make it difficult for some to gain any interest when they're not being pulled in by any one character. Maybe that was purposely done, I don't know. Tom Hardy and Kenneth Branagh may be the biggest known names in this, but they're so hardly in this that I wonder why they agreed to it in the first place. I had heard that Tom Hardy turned it down, but Christopher Nolan who wrote and directed this had worked with him before in "Inception" and "The Dark Knight". And that Christopher practically had to beg Tom to do this. I'm still not sure why he begged him to do a role that anyone could do. Tom flies a plane the entire film with a helmet and mask on. You don't even see his face until the end for about fifteen seconds. My guess is that having Tom's name attached to this on the marquee would draw in more of an audience. As it stands, I had never heard of this film until the DVD popped up in my recommendations and I bought it because it was the price of a rental. It was worth it and entertaining aside from those mild complaints. I did recognize that actor that was the scarecrow in the dark knight, and some guy that kind of looked a bit like that Harry Styles, who turned out to be him as I noticed in the credits. The other is I do wish there was a bit more story as I wasn't entirely sure what was going on, except for knowing that the British and the French had aligned together in a war where Germany was their enemy. The English and French get stranded on a beach in Dunkirk awaiting to be rescued before the Germans find and kill them. They have to cross the ocean which lends for some spectacular visuals and fight scenes.

I’m not going to go on and on about what an incredible film and hands down to Chris Nolan and all that garble. I would like to simply ask what does any of your personal views on this film have to do with the quality of the disc itself? When I came on here to actually read legitimate reviews about the disc, resolution, etc all I get is a trail of Troll reviews about what a bore this movie was and all that nonsensical writing. Write actual reviews worth reading and understand that reviews on Amazon have more to do with the product quality over the subject matter. If you want to ramble on about how much you hate this film go find an actual forum online and have a ball! As for anyone who has yet to see this film understand that the simple reason that there is very little dialogue is because the director wanted to focus on what it would actually feel like to be on those beaches awaiting eminent doom or slim salvation. But people want the same old same old mashed up and cliche war film after another, with those epic speeches right before a big battle. What you get in this film is brilliant accuracy and respect for the actual historic event. It’s not your typical blockbuster and if you appreciate the subtleties in life you will appreciate what Chris Nolan set out to do with Dunkirk. You don’t need to see a giant Nazi flag waving to be able to tell who the enemy is if you know a little bit of history on WWII. You don’t need useless long drawn out dialogue with the rumble of bombing raids in the background. It’s about time someone had the courage to take us front row to actually sense what so many sensed during those days on the beaches in Northern France, fear.
