Oh right, got to see 1917 last night.
It's... I mean, it's a good film. It's quite pretty (despite also giving a much grimier, grittier look at the state of WW1 than most media likes to portray, something I was also very appreciative of), and the cinematography of being mock-single shot is very exciting from a conceptual point of view (although this did make a few of the clip breaks fairly obvious when they happened, despite being disguised)... But good heavens, there were a lot of stupid decisions being made by the main character(s), and survival was basically only granted by virtue of the fact that the entire German army had apparently trained at the Imperial Stormtrooper Academy of Sharpshooting, whereas our main man could snapshot an enemy sniper behind a window at 100 paces with an unscoped Lee-Enfield.
The single-shot aspect was also... Well... While very interesting and also quite engrossing, it kinda gave the movie the odd quality of seeming like the film equivalent of a walking simulator.
All in all, a very lovely experiment in camerawork and scene composition/transition! Also a far more brutal and ghastly depiction of The War to End All Wars, despite still toning it down a bit for the silver screen. Beyond that, it's just a bit... Odd.
