I have just seen this film this evening, and people can moan and whinge about inaccuracies etc but I agree with what Daren said earlier. It’s a bloody brilliant film.
I think it really showed the sense of tension an fear, and the sound was absolutely stunning and goosebump prompting at times.
The sound of the Stukas diving down was incredibly harrowing, it felt like you were the target, as many eyewitnesses have described, and the floor shook, one of many times.
The Merlin’s roar just was wonderful and really complimented the incredible shots of the spits in action, along with the Buchon.
The models were very impressive, particularly the Heinkel which I thought looked amazing, and crashed realistically considering.
One thing I might say, when the Stuka gets shot down and hits the sea near ‘The Mole’, it does look kinda small!
The full size replicas looked pretty darn good too and slotted into the real aircraft and model shots pretty neatly.
Just goes to show you don’t need CGI for a great film.
The non aviation was also brilliant I might add and the acting was on the whole quite good, even Harry Styles didn’t do a bad job!
There is one other point however that the beach looks surprisingly uncluttered, but maybe this was done just to keep focus on the actors and extras?
Overall, I think this’ll be one of those films that will become a frequently watched addition to the DVD cabinet of many and dare I say could become a classic in its own right.
Well done Mr Nolan, and all the cast and crew, and amazing job by all!
