Despite being above average for a 3D presentation, the most spectacular audio - visual experience I was treated to on the big day was 'Dunkirk' (Dir. Christopher Nolan') I love all of this man's films and his WWII drama is possibly the best film I have seen about the conflict since Clint Eastwood's 2006 'Letters From Iwo Jima' and is arguably hos best work yet. Due to the relatively short running time for a Nolan flick (his projects usually screen between 2.5 - 3 hours) and the small amount of dialogue, this film sees the best use of the IMAX format yet since he first started to experiment with their use in drama in 2008's 'The Dark Knight'. Over 75% of the film is shot using the IMAX format and as with previous Blu - Ray releases from the director, the aspect ration effortlessly shifts from the 2.35:1 shape of the 35mm footage to the IMAX shots, which, as in 'The Dark Knight', 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'Interstellar' are framed within the 16:9 shape of the TV. Although the IMAX footage is too tall for TV's and requires cropping at both the top and bottom, they still look better than anything I have seen in 1080p and as such is more than likely the closest that this wonderful footage will appear outside of a theatre until I can upgrade to 4K. The film itself is absolutely spectacular and the over the top description I have given of the home video transfer is to highlight how important it is to see this masterpiece in the best possible manner with regards to sound and vision. The narrative is very typical of Nolan's previous work with him again exploring time dilation to cross - cut between story elements and despite the focus on using visuals to tell the story, the enormous ensemble cast is still flawless. Perhaps Nolan's best film and an instant edition to the greatest WWII films of all time.
