Whether it mirrored history accurately or not its just a flick for entertaining people. That being I found it OK. Story a little corny and without the "Jaws" sound track would have been poor. Far from the best war movie ever, save that for Private Ryan. The reality of War is that war is hell, gore and death and that needs to be be on the screen to remind us all or surely we'll find ourselves back on the beaches again.

Two very important stories about Dunkirk: 1) The rescue itself by the British civilians, 2) Why didn't the Germans go ahead and totally destroy the British army on the beach? The movie managed to almost totally ignore both stories Actually, the movie managed to avoid any story. Stupid movie.

History come to life - don't miss it! could have given more information about the approx. 700 ships and the fact that the evacuation took about 8 days.

Well, a different type of war movie; didn't show any Nazis, swastikas or even Hitler. Great costumes, props and epic proportion but as a history buff it kinda missed a lot. Anyways a good flick, but it just seemed to be missing a lot. A huge arena for a type of Hollywood correct war without misery. I enjoyed the panorama of the lousy weather, fog, sand, choppy dark ocean on the beach and sea though.

It was a major disappointment - a movie I had been looking forward to for a long time, but all my own fault, I should know better than to start believing all the hype.
There were very little story lines, the role of the RAF could have been shown much better - considering the immense affect they had on the evacuation - hardly seen any of the German side of the action - and the screw ups their generals made by not going in full blast. The vocal sounds were in most instances unintelligible - just a major let down, and very disappointed.

I am very disappointed with this movie. I didn't feel any connection with the main characters. The movie focused more on the rescue from Dunkirk and some of the air bombings but really didn't get into the nitty gritty of what these servicemen went through. I should know my dad was one of them.
