While I admit that I had a lousy seat for viewing and that I didn't see the movie in IMAX the whole idea just as with those people who were enthralled by Avatar (2009) when it came out, I also felt that as is the case almost a decade ago, there will always be something bigger and more dazzling movie spectacles to come with special effects, technological advances, 3-D, and so forth. As I said before the public will be inundated with virtual reality, Matrix style come this next decade that amaze even more.

I've been careful to point out where other movies have been better at creating this supposedly vital element of Dunkirk's supposedly amazing photography, "you are there" effect with more emotional intensity. I've also been careful to point out the even the more important lack of content that Dunkirk fails to offer as a substantive movie that's needed to connect the audience with important aspects of humanity, putting real faces to the characters that have depth. Thus even though I had a lousy seat and I wasn't able to enjoy the movie's flash and sizzle like Richard Gere's character Billy Flynn displayed in the Oscar-winning movie Chicago (2002), the problems of Dunkirk's substantive content can't be smoothed over and covered up by the fancy visuals and auditory advances that will only age with time and be easily surpassed by the next scientific gadget within a few years.
