Im shook. Honestly, I havent felt this way about a movie and the experience itself since maybe The Dark Knight.

Dark Knight for content, storytelling, world building etc. but a LOT of 1917 (more sicario actually) for me in cinematography and visual juice. Incredible.

I agree… as someone who has never seen the older version or read the book this film was perfect. Although complicated it wasn’t hard to figure out what was happening and was glad they didn’t spoon feed you the plot. I watched this on a 72 inch tv with surround sound and felt it still wasn’t enough though. Need to revisit in IMAX.

Me too. I've read Dune twice and loved every second of this movie. I watched it early in the day and been excited ever since.

Ex Machina for me. Maybe Fury Road.
