- Reviewed in Canada on January 18, 2024Verified PurchaseI recently purchased the 4K BluRay edition of "1917," and I am absolutely blown away. The visual fidelity in 4K is nothing short of breathtaking, bringing every detail of this cinematic masterpiece to life in a way that truly immerses you in the harrowing journey of the characters. The colors are vibrant, the contrast is spot-on, and the clarity is unparalleled. Combine that with the intense storytelling and brilliant cinematography of "1917," and you have a must-have addition to any film enthusiast's collection. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2021Verified PurchaseSam Mendes [most famous for directing two 007 movies] goes in a different direction [in the few extras, he even mentioned this] directing this movie not based on any specific people but the events from April 6, 1917.
In it two men are given a mission to go through enemy lines to find a commander [Benedict Cumberbatch in a very small role] and tell him to not attack the Germans because it is an attack. The two main characters aren't played by anyone well known.
Of note is that the film was [mostly] filmed using a single camera. The camera goes from hand held them seamlessly attached to a rig, then on a steady cam platform, back to hand held, etc.
There are others in cameo roles including Mark Strong [Deep state, Prime Suspect].
There is just over 30 minutes on both 4K and BR. I was hoping with a modern movie, there would be more. However it could be because of Mendes. There wasn't much in his 007 movies as well
One reviewer called it "One of the best war films of all time." Not really. This is a second tier war movie. I can think of quite a few war movies that I found to be way better: Patton, Saving Private Ryan, Fury, Guns of Navarone, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Patton, etc.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 30, 2024Verified PurchaseOne of the best visual films ever. Love it
- Reviewed in Canada on September 24, 2024Verified PurchaseThe casualties suffered by the participants in World War I dwarfed those of previous wars: some 8,500,000 soldiers died as a result of wounds and/or disease and this movie shows how and why. Lots of violence.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 7, 2020Verified PurchaseThis movie got a lot of positive reviews, so I ordered a copy when it was still pre-release. It arrived on release day, and I put it next to the TV with the best intentions to watch ASAP. Well, a month went by until I finally got a chance to watch. The story is simple: two WW1 British soldiers are tasked with seeking out a group of soldiers about to launch an attack, but it's an ambush. The movie follows the two as they go about their assigned task. I won't go into details to avoid spoilers, but the story is gripping, harrowing, and shows the strength and dedication of the soldiers.
What impressed me the most about the picture, though, was the cinematography. There's almost no cuts or scene shifts in the movie: it's as though the camera is a third person in the story, moving around the two leads in a single, long, artful shot. I ended up marveling at the photography as much as the story. I have no clue how they made this so seamless, but it's a masterclass in cinematography! Great movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars 1917 - AN AENEID FOR OUR TIME
Verified PurchaseIn 1917 Director Sam Mendes has left us with more than just another film of war. A clue lies with the term ¡°Gehenna¡± (aka - hell, hades, limbo, catabasis) used for the title of a movement in the film¡¯s music score ¨C he is clearly alluding to the layered meanings of this remarkable film.
1917 is an allegory of yet another allegory nearly 3,000 years old. It demands repeated viewing to absorb its nuanced and symbolic iconography. The landscapes of dark beauty, the liturgical score and most of all the unbroken camera flow that rarely breaks from the protagonists every step work subliminally much as a dream. Veterans who have survived combat might cast a memory of war beneath shut eyes this way. It connects you to the experience of a soldier at his own level. Few other films of this genre compare.
The ancient Greeks believed we come here with ¡°sealed orders.¡± Lance Corporal Schofield and Corporal Blake are ordered to deliver an army command message that would save 1,600 men from annihilation. It¡¯s a race against time.
The first hour of 1917 could be entitled ¡°catabasis¡± from the epics of Homer ¨C a term we can apply appropriately here to describe the sacrifice of a nation¡¯s children in war. The graphic depiction of ¡°no man¡¯s land¡± separating the British and German front lines leaves little to your worst imaginings.
In the second hour, when Schofield awakens from a fall, he discovers his watch has stopped. Is he therefore even still alive? As he steps into Ecoust, a city of burning rubble, we enter the underworld with him. His solitary journey here is now so much that of book 6 from Virgil¡¯s ¡°Aeneid.¡± For Schofield to ¡°go over¡± he must first complete his task. He must kill to survive, shun the pleas for an orphaned infant, nearly drown in a river (the Styx?) near Crosillies, climb over an island of dead civilians, and only then in a quiet forest find the Devon Rifle Company he was seeking. A soldier can be heard singing ¡°I Am A Lonely Wayfaring Wanderer¡± - a hymn of warriors free of woe, crossing "the Jordan" to return to their parents in death. It is one of many carefully engineered symbols throughout the film, each of them a paradox.
In the suspenseful and relentless race against time that governs the final 20 minutes of the film Schofield staggers, exhausted, shell shocked, dogging a rain of shrapnel through the surreal chalk trenches to reach his destination and deliver the message. And also deliver another more personal message of his own.
Shall all these phantom warriors yet find their way to ¡°Elysium¡± in the tender green fields of Belgium? Schofield carried with him a photo of his wife. On the reverse she had written ¡°come back to us.¡±
Virgil's Aeneid was a poem of the Trojan wars. It addressed war with the subliminal aesthetics of that time as civilization¡¯s great nightmare, and mankind¡¯s greatest test. It remains relevant today and going forward. That aesthetics rather than reality can leave an emotional and not only an intellectual comment is the truest definition of art

Verified PurchaseLa pel¨ªcula debe ser la m¨¢s inmersiva que se haya hecho hasta ahora y m¨¢s entretenida que Apocalypse Now, debido a los avances t¨¦cnicos que se han ido consiguiendo durante estos a?os. Tiene un planteamiento sencillo pero sirve para mostrarnos el viaje de estos mensajeros hacia su objetivo, lo mejor es la c¨¢mara siguiendo el periplo de estos "incautos". Su duraci¨®n es de 2 horas as¨ª que es bastante digerible para la mayor¨ªa de personas.
Esta versi¨®n del steelbook es bonita aunque su ¨²nica pega es que se marcan los dedos al ser tan oscura.
