1917 (2019)

1917 is on the of the best war films in cinema history.
The plot is very basic, but the script is so strong that the it really does not matter. It is a individual journey of our two characters with the focus on perseverance rather than large scale war spectacles. It is very intimate, which sets itself apart from other films in the genre.
The acting was incredible. Our two leads, George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, have such amazing chemistry with a vast amount of emotional range. It had me verging on tears on more than one occasion. The cinematography was masterful. Sam Mendes is completely mental for shooting this film as a one take. I can not even imagine the pain staking process of shooting each scene to seamless transition into the next, it was spectacular. The scope is so large that it seems like it should have been an impossible task. The score is fantastic and blends itself nicely with the film.
Overall, this one of the best films I have seen in a long time. It was super impressive on all front and will go down as simply a masterpiece.
Score: 98%
Verdict: Masterpiece

Beautifully shot. Music was superb. Premise interesting. Acting was good.
But I've never yelled at a characters complete incompetence as much as I did this one. The Schofield dolt just stumbles around in a stupor the whole time doing just about everything he can wrong and it's basically sheer luck more people didn't die because of this nitwit. Schofield is annoying at first and over time he grows to real irritation.
I can't express my true rage at this moron as the review would either be removed or filled with [explicative deleted] notations.
As beautiful as the camera work and music is in this film, it's not nearly good enough to bump this rating any higher for the rage that it caused in me for this character. Yet the cinematography and music were too good to let me give it the lowest rating.
It's a well done movie about a complete [explicative deleted].
