Box Office Flop or Blockbuster 2020? - 1917

Oh yes Golden Globe award winning 1917 gets asked the big question, flop or blockbuster?



This one continuous shot war film is solid gold! So I say this is a blockbuster. Already winning best drama picture and best director at the recent Golden Globes, 1917 will open well in Australia.

Opening on Christmas Day in the USA, the 10th January in the UK and this week in Australia.

George MacKay as Lance Corporal Will Schofield and Dean-Charles Chapman as Lance Corporal Tom Blake star as the main two soliders in this epic World War 1 story.

Sam Mendes has made this film so well, it is compelling, engaging whilst the entire movie you feel part of the film. As the one shot approach puts you the audience right bang in the middle of the battlefield.

For the BAFTA Awards the film is up for nine big awards, yes it is the award season with one show after another in coming months.

This is a well made, refreshing take on true life war stories. With a lot of war films coming before 1917, this does feel extremely original.

I enjoyed this film, shame my bladder was being a pain, 3.5 stars.
