## Description

Sam Mendes, the Oscar®-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to this World War I epic. At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic's George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones' Dean-Charles Chapman), are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake's own brother among them.Bonus Content:The Weight of the World: Sam MendesAllied Forces: Making 1917The Score of 1917In the TrenchesRecreating HistoryFeature Commentary with Director/Co-Writer Sam MendesFeature Commentary with Director of Photography Roger Deakins

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good movie, great picture quality

Great picture quality, and I liked the movie. I watched it back in 2020, so I don’t remember exactly why I liked it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great movie with a good plot.

This is a great movie. I originally saw this on the TV. Of course it was edited and full of commercials and I wanted to watch the complete uninterrupted movie so bought the DVD. Now I can watch anytime in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Picture, not “Best Picture “...
*by M***X on July 27, 2020*

I enjoyed watching this flick very much and I definitely recommend it, but it’s not the Blockbuster Masterpiece that I expected based on the Oscar and critical reviews. Yes, it’s exciting and suspenseful and beautifully filmed, but for a “war movie” it’s nowhere near the caliber of, say, Saving Private Ryan or Full Metal Jacket. Yeah, so two green soldiers are ordered on a very risky mission and encounter lethal dangers along the way. Really more of a buddy-adventure movie than a war movie. I was highly impressed with the attention to detail and production quality of this film, which did a masterful job of replicating the military gear and ugly (and muddy) trench warfare of WWI. There are some fabulous scenes, so I want to repeat that it’s a very good film. I should mention that there is way less blood and gore than I anticipated. In fact, would personally rate the violence at a “PG-13” level... Nothing more violent than what you’d see on your average TV cop show. I suppose the R rating must be for salty language, which is loaded with F-bombs. (More F-bombs than real bombs — haha.)
