- mickerdooJuly 23, 2025Incredible camera work with a concise story. More a personal tale of feat than traditional war movie. Colors were unique.
- Nathan MagretaJune 26, 2025Absolute masterpiece. Simple as that. Amazing representation of war with amazing acting, visuals and sound.
- qmechanJanuary 23, 2025The cinematography's stunning And the nearly one-shot shows such cunning But simply, at the core This film shows a war That's won through the effort of running
- AngusMcNutzApril 18, 2025The true masculine urge to crawl through the trenches and slowly bleed out with your homies. All jokes aside, I find the main appeal of Sam Mendes' films is the sense of balance he's able to cultivate; this film being the most exemplary display. War films usually dump attention to pacing and structure for emotional gut punches over and over. As seen here, its entirely more effective to land a couple direct haymakers rather than a barrage of jabs.
- nick wasslenMay 25, 2025Beautiful and ground breaking cinematography
- ChrisOctober 28, 2024“I hoped today would be a good day. Hope is a dangerous thing.” - Colonel MacKenzie George Mackay is incredible and it is a beautifully shot film. It just felt like every other war story. I really wanted to like this and had been looking forward to seeing it. Just a big miss for me.
- Modern Media HD GroupMarch 15, 2025Absolutely stunning 1917 was gifted a full fat native 4K digital intermediate, capping off source material that was shot at even higher resolutions, and perfectly rendering this oftentimes visually perfect feature. Detail is outstanding, lapping up every little nuance of the dirty, damage-strewn battlefront, the dust-and-dirt-covered visages and tattered uniforms. Messy and occasionally almost horrific, the presentation revels in the textured intricacies, further coming alive superbly thanks to the added assistance of not only HDR and WCG but also Dolby Vision and HDR10+
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 25, 2025I had the privilege of watching 1917 in the cinema and it absolutely blew me away. I'll try to keep this brief since I've already written a full review you can find through the link in my Amazon profile, but 1917 was far and away my favourite film of 2019. It's one of the most visceral war films I've ever seen, with the one-shot style proving an exceptionally good fit for a film of this genre. I can understand anyone who might've seen it as gimmicky, but I implore you to give it a chance because it absolutely works and has some of the most incredible shots of any film in the last few years. George MacKay is a wonderful lead who carries the film from start to finish. 1917 puts you through the whole gambit of emotions, with moments that will stun you with their technical proficiency, moments that will put you on edge, and moments that will bring you to tears. I'm not sure it's possible to capture a truly authentic experience of either World War in film, but 1917 comes about as close to it as I could expect. If you've yet to watch this, pick it up and rectify that immediately.
- RyezooFebruary 7, 2025Lotta hype.... Little disappointed.... Trailers absolutely showed way to much. This is a gorgeous technical marvel. One of the best looking films I’ve seen this year, but it left me feeling cold. The sets and props looked fantastic. In comparison Dunkirk in my opinion is a lot better. Maybe with lowered expectations I’ll enjoy this more.
- davidstep1February 2, 2025Overall, not well written at all. Could have had so much more potential.

- Mister ArnOctober 16, 2024“1917” follows two British soldiers who must deliver a critical message to prevent 1,600 men from falling into a deadly trap. The film's real-time approach immerses the viewer in the soldiers' harrowing journey, making you feel the tension, fear, and determination they experience as they navigate the dangers of World War I. The film’s style heightens the intensity, putting you beside them as they race against time to complete their mission.
