Very little CGI.

And it’s not a war movie in terms of big ass narrative story. Its an excellently filmed gripping trip on a single simple order that has to be delivered.

No. There is nothing so grotesque in the depiction of officers or glory-madness.

In 1917 a slice of heightened (to say the least) wartime reality is the movie, no explicit indictments of War or men who lead them as in Paths of Glory.

Yeah, the officers in this movie are portrayed as surprisingly competent and sane. I was expecting a Gallipoli ending. Didn’t happen.

I'm sure there's a lot more CGI than we can spot. They had to do something to make those impossibly long shots continuous. But there were really only a couple of places where it was obvious. And even then it wasn't bad.

Yeah. I wasn’t looking for it and none of that took me out of the movie.

I thought the filmography was a master class given how lazy some of the technology has made filmmakers. It’s amazing how fresh “the old way” looks.

I’m not sitting here trying to be some high minded film guy. I get a lot of joy out of Marvel and Star Wars and I loved Midway. But this was different than that and did it very very well IMO.

I went into this really wanting to like it, but it was just mediocre. Some of the story was ridiculous.

Ridiculous....as in too believable? The only thing I would say against the plausibility of it all is where it seems like they walk for 5 minutes to get a couple of miles, but they said from the beginning that the journey was only like 8-9 miles, so all they really did was cut out a few hours worth of uneventful walking by moving from one point of interest to another quickly.

I don't think much-- outside of the first 15 minutes-- was believable
