Has anyone seen this yet? Is this worth going to a theater for or should I just wait for Netflix? The trailer looks great and the reviews are very good.

I will be going to see this in the theater.
There are just those that need to be experienced on the big screen and this is one of them.

I can't wait to see the darkest hour as well.

I'm thinking about even splurging for IMAX.
Movie isn't as long as I expected it to be.
Worth the trip, but the time continuum of multiple situations was not synced for some reason by the director. night time scenes back and forth with day. Flashbacks that are applied poorly. Almost no character development. Doesn't even compare to Saving Private Ryan or Hacksaw Ridge. Still, a historically worthy event, great ME109 Spitfire dogfight scenes.

Is it still good even without any lead actors of color?
Edit: apparently eye roll smiley does not work from my phone.

Just came back from seeing it. Trudi's father was there, she wasn't impressed. Her words, it was a crap film.
Poor representation of the sheer mass of 400,000 men stranded.
Similar to beach landing in Saving Private Ryan? Sorry....I didn't see any similarity. Even Trudi pointed out that men bombed on the beach aren't going to just be lying around "whole".
The "massive flotilla" was poorly represented. This is the age of high definition digital effects, there was little evidence of that in this movie.
I'm a huge fan of such movies. This one fails to deliver. Poor effort made in the massive realism of the event.

The three stories/timelines are odd at first, but when you step away it makes sense (one week / one day / one hour)
I liked it but not my favorite war film by a long shot.

Saw it Sunday night....not a fan at all. I can't stand that directors style. I wouldn't have seen it in theaters if I realized it was one of his movies.
