1917 was the best movie I've seen in awhile. There are parts of it that are almost like a found footage horror movie. You're following these guys through hell, always right behind or right in front of them. What it lacks in story, it makes up for in detail. It's more like a poem than a novel. I watched They Shall Not Grow Old and have read a few books on WWI. They did a good job of capturing the filth and wretchedness of trench warfare.
I do wonder if the movie will have even remotely the same effect when watching at home. I wish the new shitty Star Wars would get out of the iMax theaters so I could see 1917 again in iMax.
Anybody wants a good bloody one that doesn't make you think too much Ready or Not was pretty damn good. I imagine a lot of true horror fans won't like it. But if you like a good "fight your way out" movie, this one will scratch the itch.
