My only criticism was that the sense of scale was lacking. At no point did there look like there were 4000 men on the beach never mind 400000. Good film though

I'm going to see it on Friday and asked the lad at work who saw it this weekend about it and he said exactly the same thing. Weird. How hard is it now for decently budgeted film not to make it look like there are more people than there actually are? Other films manage it, don't they?

Nolan uses 70mm film as opposed to digital so a different kind of scope and effect. I can imagine he will be against using CGI as much as possible in this film, too.

After the glowing reviews I was a bit disappointed with it. It felt a bit disjointed at times, the portrayal of the scale of the evacuation was definitely lacking, and personally I would have liked a greater inclusion of the fighting that took place in the lead up to and during the evacuation.

same, saw it last week, i think maybe i was looking forward to it so much, it was hard to live up. The article below, pretty much summed up my viewpoint, but however, as it states, it was more a story about survival than an actual war film, so yeah, that was my bad. I just think it needed a bit more narration. I aced dunkirk in school, but that was a while back now so i don't remember all the facts and could have done with a bit more explanation of what was going on because the film didn't really make it wholly clear. I thought the scenes with the fighter pilots were a bit repetitive as well really and not exactly action filled.

Given the budget for the film, and the research that was undoubtedly done for it, it is an utter joke that they have yellow-nosed Messerschmitt Bf 109s!

Absolutely staggering! Messerschmitt Bf 109 units did not received orders to paint the engine cowlings, wingtips and rudders with temporary yellow paint until mid August 1940...

That is a basic error in this day and age...

Saw an interview with Nolan he said he was aware the Me 109s did not have yellow noses at the time of Dunkirk, but he took a liberty in order that they would be easily recognizable to the audience as compared to the spitfires in the movie
 
Saw it today in the IMAX, and the sound was immense - some of the explosions went right through me. Thought the film was excellent overall, and pretty much all of the acting was faultless. A very different type of film for Nolan as well - hugely talented.
