Social media reactions for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming World War II survival-thriller Dunkirk are in, and the verdict is it’s another epic piece of filmmaking from the fan-favorite auteur.
The Academy has long demonstrated a liking for an expertly-crafted World War II film, so if Dunkirk lives up to its potential, they may have little choice than to invite Nolan back – and perhaps award him with Best Director.
The technical merits were hailed across the board, meaning Dunkirk should be a treat to see in IMAX or standard theaters.
Like most of his movies, Nolan was also painting on a large canvas, making great use of the IMAX format and practical effects to place viewers back in WWII.
