Corey MorissetteHOST
I remember when I watched Interstellar the first time, I thought the first two acts were great and the third act kind of lost me because we go off on some, and they don't really explain much about the Tesseract when he goes into the black hole and kind of all this stuff and you're sitting there just kind of overwhelmed by everything, but it gets better the more you watch it, the more you understand it.
Corey MorissetteHOST
Dunkirk was another one I watched at the IMAX, Kramer IMAX, and afterwards I'm like, well, I'm just kind of mid on Dunkirk until you think about it more and more and then you go see it again and you're like, I totally get what he's getting at now.
Corey MorissetteHOST
Because Dunkirk really plays with time because he's telling you three separate stories.
Corey MorissetteHOST
One about the soldiers on the beach.
Corey MorissetteHOST
One about the boats that are coming to rescue the soldiers on the beach.
Corey MorissetteHOST
He kind of contributed to the Batman stories.
Corey MorissetteHOST
Inception was his first really big.
Corey MorissetteHOST
script right and then he wrote Dunkirk he wrote Interstellar and then he's written Oppenheimer and then this one a lot of people are upset because of the language he used he's upset that they're not speaking Homer-esque Greek And to which a lot of people are saying, but then you wouldn't watch the movie because he wants to sit there and listen to that for three hours or read subtitles for three hours.
Arturo ZuritaHOST
And like a song, every single bit, like when you watch it, It is timed perfectly.
Arturo ZuritaHOST
This is a guy who's done time in what, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and all these different formats, even the pacing from Memento.
Arturo ZuritaHOST
The way it's shot, it's formatted like a song.
Arturo ZuritaHOST
So every single segment feels like a chorus, verse, bridge.

Zach ShevichHOST
He's got these movies that are just mind-blowing in a way that I didn't find Odyssey mind-blowing.
Zach ShevichHOST
I found Odyssey to be, like, incredibly well-produced and epic and entertaining.
Zach ShevichHOST
But I just sort of gravitate more towards the, like, interstellar Dunkirk memento prestige side of what Nolan does.
Zach ShevichHOST
That being said, like, this is still a four-and-a-half star movie for me.
Sarah BudderyHOST
That remains the only movie that has given me a migraine before.
Sarah BudderyHOST
Dunkirk and IMAX for me as well.
MJ SmithHOST
Not a migraine, but same thing.
MJ SmithHOST
Sure.
Andrew MoslerHOST
I think it's
Henry WilkinsonHOST
kind of a similar thing for me as, like, Dunkirk was, where it's kind of plotless in a sense, where, like, Fury Road is literally them going out to deliver or, like, exchange oil and gas for water, and then they try to escape, and they end up driving back, basically, to where they started.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
There's not much dialogue there.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
That's kind of how Dunkirk was for me the first time.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
And then I have just seen a bunch of positive stuff about Furiosa and how it's more... more accessible for the audience, and I thought I'd really like that.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
And I liked it from a story part.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
And I think knowing the background of Furiosa retroactively made me like Fury Road more.
Henry WilkinsonHOST
I ended up bumping Fury Road up to a 4.5.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Some were jumping into the Hudson River or standing on seawalls.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Now, if you think back to Dunkirk, that took nine days to pull 338,000 Allied soldiers off a beach in 1940.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
On 9-11, roughly 800 mariners on about 150 vessels moved as many as 500,000 civilians off Manhattan in only nine hours.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Ferries, tugboats, dinner boats, pilot boats, yachts, a retired fireboat, rubber dinghies that held two people.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
It was the largest water evacuation in history.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
In raw numbers, it was bigger than Dunkirk.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
No boat went down, and by nightfall, the southern tip of Manhattan had been emptied by people who weren't on anyone's list of heroes when the morning started.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Tug captains, ferry deckhands, pilots, ordinary boats answering one sentence, all available boats.
RustyHOST
Was
Nick DelgadilloHOST
Dunkirk okay? Are you okay with Dunkirk? With what? Dunkirk.
Nick DelgadilloHOST
It was okay.
Nick DelgadilloHOST
You saw Dunkirk,
Mark RippetoeHOST
right? Yeah, it was good.
Mark RippetoeHOST
I think I did.
Nick DelgadilloHOST
And then you have to not be excited about it because people are excited about it.
RustyHOST
People
RohanHOST
I just think it's a wonderful opening.
RobHOST
What about Dunkirk, directed by Christopher Nolan, the beach opening in the first 30 minutes? We could even put Saving Private Ryan in there for the first 25 minutes.
RobHOST
That is the most incredible opening of any war movie ever.
RobHOST
I've got Saving Private Ryan somewhere else.
20 MINS LATER
RobHOST
Well, you need to...
RohanHOST
We don't need it.
RohanHOST
Raiders, Pulp, Heat, Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk, Superman.
RohanHOST
The first 30 minutes, it's what drags you into the cinemas and keeps you wanting more.
Jay KrebsHOST
But, uh, but how are you feeling about the whole thing?
Dennis KeithlyHOST
Yeah, pretty much what I just said, which is, yeah, I, I think the last movie I saw at an IMAX theater was Dunkirk.
Dennis KeithlyHOST
And how many years ago was that? And the only reason why I went to see that in IMAX is because a friend came in town specifically [laughs] to go see Dunkirk in IMAX.
Dennis KeithlyHOST
And so we did, and that was great.
Dennis KeithlyHOST
Um, you're right, it is an experience.
Joe PiscopoHOST
This was like when I, somebody said at the Empty Sky Memorial yesterday, like there were almost 500, it was the mayor, the mayor of Jersey City said there was 500,000 people rescued.
Joe PiscopoHOST
And there were more people, more boats than at Dunkirk in 1940.
Joe PiscopoHOST
If you do your history, you need to know your history from the Second World War.
Joe PiscopoHOST
How Winston Churchill said, if you have a ship, you have to go out and take the soldiers off the beach, protect them because we don't have an air force.
Joe PiscopoHOST
And that's, in the long run, that was before we even entered World War II.
Joe PiscopoHOST
That was what September 11, 2001 was at the piers.
Joe PiscopoHOST
And you heard Nicole Parker talking about it yesterday, right? They have more boats than Dunkirk, believe it or not.
Joe PiscopoHOST
You know, so so I just as I think about that and I think about how resilient we are as a people, it makes me angry because, you know, you got to you got to go in and take them out.
