Dunkirk - wasn't what I expected, not as brutal as some of the recent war movies.
Interesting way of telling the story with the misaligned timeline from a few different perspectives
3.5 dogfights out of 5 pleasurecraft

@taniwharugby only 3.5? I liked it a lot more than that, thought it was brilliantly done.
Can we have a rant about the cinema industry? Went to Star Wars on saturday arvo. We paid $19.50 a seat for v-max 3D (and i think those were cheap tickets through Telstra). Despite this astronomical price, i then had to sit there for 33 minutes of ads. 33 fucking minutes. For our 11.30 screening, the movie started at 12.03. And there were 3, fucking 3 trailers. So what's that, basically 30 minutes of ads? I was fuming. Someone along the chain is making an absolute fortune.

@mariner4life I'm reading a lot of stories about the demands Disney are putting on cinemas... guaranteed number of showings for x amount of weeks, increased revenue per ticket, no cancellations, no comps, etc etc. This might be a reflection of the cinemas trying to make their money back?
Agreed though, that's crazy that it started half an hour later.

@mariner4life I did really like it, probably 3.5 is a bit low, guess it's one of those ones where I went in with sky high expectations and didn't quite match them.
It did deviate from the norm of brutal violence and 2.5 hours long as most films these days, so was a refreshing change there.

That $19.50 you paid is cheaper than the usual 2D non-Vmax price. I am a cinebuzz member and you get points for every movie attendance (generally, every 6 movies you get a free one) - so I usually go to the Movie of the Week at $10 to build up my points and then use my points to see VMax movies. But, then I probably go to the cinema more than most on here - at least once a week. Also, they often have Cinebuzz deals where you can get $10 tickets for a month, or you can buy 2 months worth at $9 or $10. I don't thin I've paid full price in at least two and half years. The best thing about multiplexes is that you can pay for MotW and then go see something decent at the same time.
I never go until 25 minutes after the start time - I leave it late so I don't get spoiled in the idiotic previews they do these days.

What is Vmax? I have my own grubby translation of that term but no idea what you are talking about.
AUD16.50? Try paying London prices. That's a bargain. Our tickets for TLJ were GBP16.50 (and also had half an hour of crap beforehand)
Vmax is the more comfortable seats, wide screen version - I think it's normal price is $26+ but I've never gone at that price. Gold Class must be over $40 with the lay back seats and seat service (where they bring out food).
Do some UK cinemas still have those all you watch deals where you pay a yearly or monthly fee and can go whenever?

Well, you are looking to go to the flicks in London or Sydney, you'd have to to expect it to be expensive. The prices about don't seem too bad to me for an evenings entertainment.
The local cinema at Woking is a dastardly 8 pounds a throw or 9 pounds during peak. Shocking stuff. We are just mere country folk out here.
