‘1917’ Blu-ray review

thehollywoodnews.com:

After exploding on the awards season in late 2019, Sam Mendes’ stunning WWI epic 1917 makes its way to the home formats. Visually stunning, stunningly stage, and supremely acted by all involved, the film is deserved of all of its plaudits.Set in April 1917, the story focusses upon two young soldiers in German-occupied France at the height of the battles in the trenches during World War I.

The set-up is simple; the two solders, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) must get a message across enemy territory to allies about to embark on an attack.

Little does the battalion know that the attack is a trap, one which will lead them to almost certain death and it is up to the two young men to deliver the message not to charge
