It's already happening on CompuServe.
We gotta give Nolan all the oscars now, no reason to wait look at this reviews!!

Sounds great, although I've got a feeling this (next?) year will be one of those years it goes to an overcooked, forgettable "Oscar bait" flick.
This is probably the most attention CompuServe has gotten since 1998.

Well considering that its cool to hate Nolan now and its getting very good reviews, so very soon.

It will thanks to the casting of Harry Styles and the fact it's PG13. When the families want to pick a movie to see at the weekend it'll tick all the boxes (Batman director, One Direction star, epic war movie etc etc).

Might be Nolan's highest rated film?
I know Memento is high (deservingly) and I think Dark Knight is right behind it. Still, looks like Nolan is proving people wrong. I admit i was skeptical at first.

Wow. That's even more praise than I expected. Even Ehrlich gave it an A.
Sounds like a really strong movie.

Is it time to start shitting on the reviews that don't support our hype yet? I found this one negative review on Reddit, posting a screen grab because it does not deserve clicks.

Essentially his big complaints are that there isn't enough humor (in a war movie) and there aren't enough women (in a movie based on a group of people that did not have women).

Happens every Nolan movie. Even TDKR.
I'm really hoping for a Nolan return to form, but I'm glad I'm going in Thursday night with tempered expectations. Haven't been surprised by Nolan since TDK and haven't outright loved one of his films since The Prestige.
At the least, he usually makes something entertaining and worth going to the movies for. Outside of TDKR, a Nolan joint is always worth the price of admission.

Not a dumb question at all, it's kind of confusing.
70mm IMAX and 70mm are two different things. 70mm IMAX is bigger and has a different aspect ratio (it's more square), whereas "classic" 70mm is a really wide shot (think like Panavision films - Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, etc.). So IMAX is going to get you more picture, and the screen is also (obviously) bigger.
I believe Dunkirk has been shot on both IMAX and "classic" 70mm film, so doing an IMAX screening would be the ideal way to go, seeing everything Nolan and co. put onto film.
"Normal" IMAX might mean digital IMAX? It's hard to say. 70mm means it's definitely using film.
Hell, where is that infographic.
EDIT: Here, folks. Maybe we should link this somewhere in the OP or something.

Dude you got me way too hyped for a second. I thought they had just dropped a new album or something.

Fury Road and Thin Red Line comparisons. Whewwww. That fool needs to stop. He's baiting me with hype overload by mentioning that
I feel like first wave of TDKR and Interstellar reviews were a little more cautious. The Dunkirk reception so far sounds more like the first TDK and Inception reviews to me.

Well damn... reviews are fantastic. I was cold on all pre-release material I have seen, but this seems like a real winner!
Cry.
I love TKDR. I don't care how much you guys trash it
You're not alone
Holy hyperbole batman. lmao
So we now have IMAX Laser here in Austin (adore the Bullock, without a doubt my favorite theater, especially since adding that Laser system), so I'll probably be seeing this in that format first. But there is a 70mm IMAX in San Antonio (At the Palladium, which happens to be another favorite of mine) that I might want to check out just to get a comparison between the two. I've always appreciated the detail in 70mm, but the brightness on the IMAX laser systems at the Bullock and the Chinese in Hollywood are really something else. I'm curious as to which I'd prefer these days.
Glad to see that the film getting such positive reception. After Interstellar, I kinda ended up on an anti-hype train for this one mentally, but it looks like I can rest assured that Nolan's back to form focusing on his strengths. I'm back on the roller coaster!
