    My wife and I went with a few other couples and saw it. Just about everyone said the movie was very good, but not great. I was expecting a little more with all of the hype about it. It is worth seeing.

    The history of the world wars is something no film ever gets right. Sadly it is all the lesson in these conflicts many will ever get. I won’t be seeing it.

    I hope you enjoy it Dave.

    There was a small video about the making of 1917 on the Golden Globe Awards show, I think it was.

    They showed how intense the design and lighting angles were for the miniature model landscapes and city buildings right down to the time of day shooting should take place.

    All before the first scene was shot, the directors and set designers made certain the life-size sets were exactly like the modeling in the pre-production stages were. DETAILS!

    It was an AWSOME pictorial of how much the directors went into the smallest detail to get their visions onto the final take of filming. The Trenches, the windows, the LONG filming takes/shots was amazing to see from drawing board to filming. IMPRESSIVE.

    I'll definitely watch it one day!
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    So we seen the movie last night.

    Absolutely loved it! Not quite what I expected, and not to give anything away, but a great story of the essence of human struggle and perseverance, amidst the tragedy and horrors of war.

    Highly recommend! :smile:
