Dunkirk - Christopher Nolan film
Discussion
Nolan loves using models and in camera effects, lots of the visuals on Interstellar were done with models of the spacecraft.
I expect they will have done some sort of cgi work in the post processing though (as opposed to rendering up CGI models of the planes).
There's a great documentary on youtube about the visual effects in Mad Max: Fury Road where they famously built all the crazy vehicles in real life and did all the stunts with real people etc. But they still did tons of CGI work on backgrounds, skies, colouration to add depth and visual interest. The models are just a starting point.

Huh? LOVED the cinema trailers where you'd just get a little snippet and then it cuts. Leaves you wanting more whilst telling you very little about the actual film. Exactly how a trailer should be for a film they really don't need to 'show the best bits for it to draw a big box office.tDick Dastardly said:
The critic reviews this is getting are incredible. "Nolans best work yet" and "the best war film so far" are two that stick out for me. Can't wait to see it.
Me too - will be seeing it once the initial rush has died down.Mind you, the last film I saw that the critics gushed about was La La Land - what a disappointment that turned out to be!

Off to hunt down James Hollands' review now./ I' m a fan of his writing.
Was on last night, so should be this one; http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08xxdlpMark Rylance is a treat in that interview, only short, but by god I have a lot of time for the way he does his craft.
I'm currently reading a book about those left behind after the Dunkirk evacuation, something probably not known about widely beyond survivors of the time and history enthusiasts.

I don't think it's completely devoid of CGI. There are scenes showing Stukas dive bombing the beach and there are no airworthy Stukas.
There is nothing wrong with CGI in itself. The important thing is that the CGI is realistic.
Possibly used large scale RC models. Years ago I worked in a model shop and the guy that owned it had flown out to north Africa to fly the RC helicopters used in Black Hawk Down. They got the local army to shoot them down. May have done a similar thing here.There is nothing wrong with CGI in itself. The important thing is that the CGI is realistic.
I remember saying to a mate that similar scale war movie might be a long way off. I hope Dunkirk proves me wrong!

I'm really looking forward to the film, though.

I saw it this afternoon and have to say it wasn't that impressed! I thought that in places the continuity was shocking, camera looking one way into a beautiful sunny blue sky and then the other way it was grey and miserable!
I thought it was pretty average. He's made much better films. He was trying to be clever and do his time jumping but failed to bring any coherency to it.The spitfires sounded nice in the IMAX though.
Saw it this lunchtime.
Some really brilliant bits, hugely let down by some truly terrible bits. Far too few little ships to look even remotely spectacular or even marginally accurate, and then at the end, the evacuated soldiers were transported away from the South Coast in what to even a non-spotter was modern (1970s) British Rail coach stock
There were several times when I was watching thinking "Please keep being as good as that last scene, pleeeeeease"..........and it just wasn't.
Tom Hardy is far too chunky to pass for a 1940s twenty-something pilot too.
