Hi! It's been 2 months and I just watched this movie last week. Hahahaha True to this review, this movie is really amazing, although I had to google Dunkirk for some history at around 30:00 because I still don't get the plot and it's already been that long. haha! Nevertheless, for me it's just the right dose of a war movie. And I get what you mean by cinematic shots of beaches and sunsets, somehow what comes first to mind is Pearl Harbor. Haha! Try Hacksaw Ridge, plot-wise, for me it's a level or two higher, and if you fancy war movies with a little dash of humor, try also Saving Private Ryan, this is a little way back but nothing less good. :)
