I agree with Ken that this is not a 5 star accomplishment and is somewhat misrepresented in the trailers. Dunkirk is initially confusing as three perspectives are inter-twined with different timelines. The film almost demands a second viewing to properly digest the sequences. This is one case where there are no spoilers, therefore reading Ken's complete review would be beneficial prior to attending. Interestingly, I first watched it on a double priced IMAX and was disappointed with the sound mix. The surround sound and auxillary bass speakers were literally set to stun. With almost nonstop attacks, bombing and explosions, maybe half of the dialog was drowned out. Santikos IMAX theater management in San Antonio claimed they had no control of the audio volume and balance because it was embedded in the system, effectively set by the director! A later viewing at a conventional sized digital projection brought the dialog channels front and center without the irritating ringing in the ears.rjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025728540081089210noreply@blogger.com
