I’d say the greatest achievement of this film is making the gunshots genuinely make you jump, which is rare now

Holy Jesus that scene at night being lit with flares is what im going to show people who say music in movies doesn’t matter

I cant even lie,the end scene with the big brother was the most heartbreaking scene I've seen in a long time in a movie

The actor that played the rat also starred in endgame

Dude that tripwire scene might just be the greatest jump scare of all time

Just saw in IMAX... had better "jump scares" then 99% of horror movies and they didn't even do it for that reason. Just how war can be silent then BOOM. Very good movie

Why isn't anyone talking about the incredible production design of this movie. Especially the battlefield at the beginning and the destroyed town

Roger Deakins cinematography = certified top quality movie.

We don’t see a whole lot of mainstream movies about World War One. Good to see it getting repped

I had no idea this was filmed like a one shot but now I’m even more excited,

“This movie succeeded on all fronts.” I see what you did there Jeremy. I see what you did.

I noticed that "pond scene" as well. Such an epic shot.

So it’s like the Frodo and Sam adventure set in WWI and we get to be Gollum. Yesssssss

When he was crossing the bridge , I jumped I wasn’t ready for the shot

The scene in the trailer where he’s running across the battlefield while troops charge?! i haven’t gotten that much adrenaline/goosebumps in a long time.

Reviews like this always remind me why I love Jeremy’s reviews, he doesn’t seem like a critic he’s just a guy who loves movies

This movie wasn't really on my radar but now it's number 1

Was an extra in this, so buzzed it’s getting good reviews

Saw the movie 5 minutes ago. One of the best movies I've ever seen.

Which scene is Jeremy talking about when he felt like he was gonna have a heart attack? There were multiple scenes for me.

After that first trailer I was chomping at the bit for this movie

3:20 “Succeeded on all fronts” I don’t know if that was unintentional but still subscribing

Spoilers! Jeremy kept on saying “he” rather than “they”, good thing I didn’t think anything of it.

I came here after the Star Wars review to see a happy Jeremy.

Good to see world war 1 story rather than WW2 Everytime

You *KNOW* the cinematography is stunning when JEREMY is gushing about it. He hardly ever talks about that stuff. Which is fine to each their own. Though I must say this was a welcome surprise.

This movie made me start looking for hiding germans

This was the best movie I've seen in a long time. It had some of the best camera work I've ever seen. The acting, costumes, and setting made everything feel authentic. I actually felt like it was 1917 and it never felt modern or like Hollywood. The twists were shocking. I grieved when the protagonist grieved, I was shocked when he was shocked, scared when he was scared. The protagonist was never safe, I felt like he was in actual danger and did not expect him to succeed like I do with superhero movies. I haven't been on an emotional journey in a movie in a long time. This was Godfather level good. The movie had actual stakes. I felt like I was there with the protagonist and did not feel like I was watching a movie. I haven't gotten that into a movie in a long time. It was brilliant. It is hands down my favorite war movie! It deserves to win oscars for the writing, directing, and acting. I highly recommend it.

Haven't seen Jeremy this stoked about a film in a long time.

2019 was great year, we got: 1917, Joker, El Camino, Once upon a time in Hollywood, The Irishman, Parasite, Lighthouse... bunch of great movies.

Family: “What do you want for Christmas?” Me: “Jeremy says I want to go see 1917.”

This movie is hands down my favorite because for some reason I felt like I was the other person in the mission. Beautifully shot, great story!

"Delivers on all fronts" I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

I really wasn’t interested in this film, but when Jeremy said “it’s like a giant one shot” you had my interest

The facts that the movie literally only had 1 visable cut scene (which is when schofield was knocked out) made the movid so interesting...i feel like if i were to somehow be in that setting...i could walk all the way from base 1 to 2 without a map

It's by far THE BEST world war 1 film I've ever seen. It's easily in the top 3 war films of all time. Put simply, it's a masterpiece!

Damn. 4 whole minutes of praise. That's a good sign. EDIT: I clicked on this video not expecting much. I may go watch this just for this "You're the third person" idea.

Overlord, the first 20 minutes was intense af.

I loved this movie, the first thing I wanna talk about is the gorgeous cinematography, Roger Deakins’ camerawork is once again a thing of absolute beauty, every shot in this movie is incredible and the technique of making it look like 1 continuous shot is very well done, the best aspect however is undoubtedly the suspense, this movie is absolutely terrifying in the way it’s put together, much like actual war the action scenes in this movie are very sudden and can be very startling, and when they’re not going on you feel tense cause you’re just thinking “Oh god when’s it gonna happen again” it’s like standing across from someone who’s holding a pin up to a balloon and you not knowing if he’s gonna pop it or not, this movie frightened me on a level no horror movie in the past few years did, the action is also very exciting, it’s not the most violent war movie I’ve ever seen or anything, in fact there’s barely any blood at all, but those scenes are still very effective, there’s not a *ton* of action in this movie but that didn’t really bother me, I was still invested in what was going on, I guess my main issue with it is kinda the same one I had with Dunkirk, there’s not really any character’s to latch onto, it’s not like a huge detriment to the movie or anything but it is something I think could’ve been done better, in the end this movie was fantastic, what it lacks in character or more than makes up for in its other aspects, the cinematography is amazing, the action is great, it’s filled with terrifying suspense and I was glued to my seat from beginning to end. 9/10

“I’m going baaaaaack to see my mother”

You couldn’t have made this movie sound more amazing

Seeing Dunkirk on a true IMAX screen was intense.

The one shot style of this film absolutely makes it feel like you are literally on the mission with them. Had the movie been made with the traditional cuts etc it would have been a totally different experience.

There were 2 heart-attack moments for me; the rat-tripwire in the barracks and the first 8mm mauser crack over the broken bridge.

I clicked so fast. This was my most hyped film of all of 2019

Dunkirk was amazing in the cinema - the sound itself was stunning.

It literally felt like a virtual reality video game that you were apart of no movie has ever really done that absolutely phenomenal

2:44 “He’s playing defense the entire time” *Spoiler*

Didn't know the film was shot to feel like one continuous shot now I feel like I have to see it.

I hadn't even heard of this one, but now I'm interested.

I was fortunate enough to get invited to an early screening of this movie, and went in not knowing what to expect and not a huge fan of war movies in general. And I have to say it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in awhile, and will definitely see it again when it comes to theaters. Just an overall great experience 👍🏼

Just watched the movie. WHAT A MASTERPIECE!

The war movie that really immersed me was hacksaw ridge.

Just got out of the theatre... unexplainable experience. I’ve never loved a war movie more, and the cinematography at night... damn

When the brother got the news... DAMN, it was a masterclass of emotion.

I pretty much never react to jump-scares when watching movies these days, they’re mostly super predictable and usually nothing more than a loud scream (especially in horror movies). But the scene in this with the rat got me. It got me good.

I can recall "Fury" from recent memory

I'm in the Army and I had the pleasure to see a advanced screening of this movie. I honestly cant believe I saw such an exceptional peace of filmmaking. This movie will resonate with you. Its filmed in one continuous shot and it makes you feel like you are apart of these two soldiers journey behind enemy lines to warn another company of them walking into a german trap. Best movie I've EVER SEEN. If this doesn't win best cinematography and best picture oscar then something is wrong with Hollywood. This movie makes you feel every guy wrenching emotion and the risk of crafing a perfect mistake free continuous shot to this film is astonishing they were able to pull this off. Astonishing experience. A true masterpiece of modern filmmaking!!!

Sam Mendes nailed it in story telling, loved the technical work on camera movements and create tension all around the situation and location. Sequence shot is so powerful to make you feel you’re here. I agree and thanks for the cool content Jeremy :)) cheers

Whose here after watchin 1917

After 5 years of watching KZfaq , Jeremy is only one left I trust. The rest all sold out. Good on you Jeremy, a true fan critic.

"I haven't felt like that in a war movie before... NEXT LEVEL". I'm watching this Day 1 🤘

I watched it today in Australia with my Dad. That heart attack part that Jeremy spoke about really is a "I think I just shit my pants" moment. I think the whole audience thought the same. Awesome movie.

Just saw it tonight. Best movie I've seen in a while. It's gripping and emotional, looks good and the music was amazing.

Wide release this weekend. 1-10-20 can’t wait to see this.

3:10 ok now I’m a little scared to experience that 😅

A notable quote from the movie: _It does not do to dwell on it._

Dunkirk felt pretty real when watching it. I can still remember holding my breath when the ship starts sinking with them inside

Can’t wait for this! Quite frustrating that we here in Australia have to wait until January 9 for it to arrive in cinemas.

You sold me. I wanna see this movie now. I didn't even know it existed til I clicked.

i feel like the main actor in this movie isn’t being talked about enough. He was absolutely incredible

Scene where that soldier is singing a native song before battle is just amazing. Really felt I was there watching him sing and the audience in the theater I know it had the same feeling. 10 out a 10

Spectre, yes, but not to forget Skyfall, that was a f...ing masterpiece.

Sam Mendes also directed Skyfall and American Beauty btw

I love how he sits down and rests at the end. It's just so satisfying.

I can’t stop thinking about it. The soundtrack. The story. The acting. This movie deserves all of the praise it’s receiving.

“Children of men” has some war in it but it’s shot to feel as a one long take, and it’s pretty amazing!

The night scene in Acoust is underrated

Caught it a couple of hours ago. The cinematography and scenery was incredible. Don't know who the actors are, but they were so very real, and relatable. This is an epic film.

*SPOLER* Who had a heart attack with rat scene?

I just walked out of the movie. It wrecked me. This movie is heartwarming, terrifying, and intense all at once. Great film experience.

"This movie succeeded in all fronts." I see what you did there.

That scene where he was climbing out of the river was so dark yet they didnt even focus on it. Its stuff like that that makes me love this movie

The best scene was the running one, but the part where he was with the woman and the baby, damn... that got me

I'm so excited but it's still 3 months away here in Finland

Totally agree! 1917 was the first war movie to make me feel afraid of war in a way that I never thought of. This movie was phenomenal!

You don’t understand how scared I was with the rat and the trip wore with headphones on 😭

You really get a good mental image of the layout of their journey due to it all being seamless, it's awesome

Definitely need to see this on a big cinema screen

I saw it yesterday. His review is on point. The screen with his hand and the body? Ugh...

Just came back from see it. I'm not a film buff. However, Jeremy got this so incredible right. The camera operations and the cinematorgraphy is just outstanding. I will buy a 4K and 4K television, along with a powerful sound system. Incredible score. One factor this movie really makes you understand about combat soldier is the exhaustion that comes along around highly stressed environments. You really have to pay attention to the film. A lot of people didn't understand the ending and what it signifies the gift they've been given.

Schofield quoting Edward Leer’s poem ‘The Jumblies’ to the Baby was a very apt quotation. ‘Going to sea in a sieve ‘ just about summed up his own predicament on his mission. I also liked that he tried to hush the very young German soldier in order to avoid killing him, on his way through the burning village, which unfortunately he ended up having to do. Even in the midst of war there are glimpses of humanity. These small touches add up to make this such a poignant & moving film, without the need for a load of unnecessary sentimental gush, just tastefully underplayed by the 2 main actors - to bring out the nuances of feeling. Bloody brilliant !

There's a scene in Atonement that resembles this style

This sounds like how the series “the pacific” made me feel. It’s an absolute must see.

I will recommend this to my dad. He likes war and history movies.

Deakins already won his Oscar, but no other movie this year has cinematography that matches 1917. The part that most impressed me about that "pond shot" was how the water remained completely still and was never disturbed at any point. The camera gets SO CLOSE to the water, you wonder how they got it that close without causing the water to ripple. Did they use a jib arm? A crane? A drone?

I hadn’t heard about this movie at all and now you got me hyped for this, Jeremy! Totally going to watch it when it comes out.

This movie has been top of my list since day one.

letters from iwo jima, gallipoli, and paths of glory: war movies that ended on screen but keep playing in my head

The two leads were amazing in this (I can’t believe one of them was actually Thomen from GoT) but I loved the supporting cast. Everyone in it fun just a few minutes, but they all put their mark on it. Especially Claire Duburcq, Richard Madden and Mark Strong
