Slow, boring, overstretched, tiresome, avoidable.

Makers could have finished in 2 hours. It is difficult to remain attached when the pace is so slow. To add the length, there were some directionless side stories.

You know it is coming, about to happen, almost there, but then it hardly moves. Some good acting and 'setting the era' are saving the otherwise weak show.

Based on true events is a good catch, but it has to be made honestly. Adding unnecessary dramatization and side stories doesn't make it better but spoils the experience. May be, next time I'll not trust Hansal Mehta blindly.

A weak show by Netflix, a rarity.

You know what could be a better utilization of your time, staring contest with that gecko on the ceiling. There movie is a certified trash, dialogues - dull, acting - annoying, songs - soul destroying, action - repetitive, story - was there one? Time spent in reading this review should be more than what this film deserves.

And just in case Salmon Bhoi wants to make more remakes, I would suggest him to remake Andaz Apna Apna or may be work on its sequel. After all if he can collaborate with SRK, why not Aamir.

And if you are reading this review after finishing the movie, may God be your savior.

It started with a one line idea of "a journey with a foot soldier". It took a miracle to make the audience be the part of the journey.

1917, thanks to immaculate planning and perfect execution, immerses you into the world of first world war. The camera becomes a portal and the flow and the urgency holds us as a member of the mission.

Salute to the creators for their dedication to this craft, technical team for their magic, actors for their labors as more than the shooting, rehearsing each step, each pass and each scene, so many times to achieve the perfection is commendable.

A Poetry in each frame.
