As a regiment assembles to wage war deep in enemy territory, two soldiers are assigned to race against time and deliver a message that will stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment My Take: In 1917 at the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Lance CPL Schofield (MacKay) and Lance CPL Blake (Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. The high command has learned that the German Army has withdrawn in an attempt to draw the British out in the open in order to annihilate them. In a race against time, Corporals Blake and Schofield must cross deep into enemy territory and deliver the message that will stop the British advance that could result in the massacre of hundreds of soldiersBlakes own brother among them. Its a powerful and compelling film both in story and cinematic scope. Its not complex in tone but, it carries an emotional wallop as its narrative is told from a personal perspective that draws you in right from the onset and doesnt let go until the credits roll. The film depicts the trench warfare of the time with unnerving grit and tension that is underscored by the superb rendering of the primary characters in Schofield and Blake, played to near perfection by George MacKay and Dean Charles Chapman. There are a host of cameos that compliment the proceedings as well. In addition to the story, characters and performances is the films technical achievements. Beginning with the cinematographer Roger Deakins Academy Award winning work behind the camera which, in and of itself, is an integral part of the telling of this event. The production elements are simply marvelous at every turn. Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Sound Mixing and Best Visual Effects. Watching it for the second time, I felt myself every bit as engaged as the first, perhaps even more so. I cant think of higher praise for a cinematic experience. Well Done. Replay Value: 5 Stars Parental Guide: The rating is for violence, some disturbing images and language. ![]() UHD Presentation(HDR-10): 100 (Each rating is worth 4 points with a max of 5 per category). With a discernible increase in detail and depth the image appears more vivid and lifelike when compared to the 1080p version, which is excellent in its own right. This is readily apparent in the opening single take sequence as the soldiers make their way from the field, to the meeting, then through the trenches. The film utilizes sepia, autumn schemed color and an overall cooler chromatic aesthetic that appears faithfully reproduced in Ultra HD. The beautiful earth toned colors and various war-torn landscapesstructures set against the semi cloudy sunny sky looked amazing. The arrival at the forest followed by the final struggle to hand deliver the message from command on the front lines is every bit as captivating. Close ups reveal oodles of fine detail and abounding textures in the interior of bunkers, dwellings and the wool uniforms featured in the story. Wide angle shots of the vistas and the contrasting cinematography, going from day to night, look great in Ultra HD.
