Dunkirk** (12A)  
(Empire Ipswich)                                  

(US/GB 2017)

Various young men have a battle to get back home on the Dunkirk beaches.
Grimly suspenseful semi-remake of Leslie Norman's Dunkirk, with the director using sensual immersion (and a typically relentless soundtrack) all in overbearing IMAX 70mm, for those who can take it. Quite effective in places, although the scenes often feel like actors standing on a set (though shot of some of the original locations) rather than wartime history, and the lack of a central character or focus does show.
