    Honestly... take away the single-take gimmick and 1917 is just another war film. Inception is Nolan at the apex of his vision and creativeness.

    Well just bought 2017 as a blind buy from Amazon (prime day). Doubt I will get around to watching it before voting closes, but maybe.

    Edit: just peeked at the results, and looks like it won't matter

    Is that the sequel?
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    1917 is a beautiful video game I watched someone play for two hours, was it also considered a movie?

    But that “single take” is part of the beauty. I would say it’s not gimmicky at all. I do agree.. Nolan is killing it with Inception though

    Take away the single take gimmick and it's just a war film without any story. But with the single take gimmick it goes from just another war film to an amazing piece of filmmaking where every single decision made is built upon the single take gimmick.. Inception may be Nolan's apex of vision of creativeness, but Dunkirk is the best film he made this decade. Take away the dream gimmick of Inception and it's just another heist film beat by beat. Both films are nothing without their gimmicks.

    Ok, that's fair enough (and for the record I liked 1917, just to be clear). Still, Inception was a blockbuster unlike few we have ever seen. Nolan gets bonus points for coming up with the story from scratch. That he was able to do it with such confidence, pizzazz, making a complex idea easily accessible to the masses is a testament to his skills as a writer and director.

    THIS. Plus I hate the word gimmick... if it was just so? THen others would have done it... and they had not. Thus how can you call it that? YOU cannot.

    We have to stop calling it a single take film. Or at least put "single take" in quotes. Yes, it's made to look like a single shot, but there are actually quite a few edits. Actaully, that's what makes the film amazing. The making of the film is almost more fascinating than the film itself. I had a blast watching how they shot that film.

    Do yourself a favor and pickup the Blu-ray.

    The poll has closed. Inception moves on and 1917 is eliminated.
