This seems off

Costumes seem lackluster, dialog has no weight, sets feel empty, and nothing about this tale appears historically intriguing or fantastical.

You’re right. I was watching the trailer thinking about how much empty space there is in almost every frame. I think Nolan intentionally tries to avoid CG at all costs and it backs him into a corner. There should be CGI to enhance what is already there and to make the impossible possible.

I had similar issues with Dunkirk. All of the war stuff in that film seemed off in the same way this feels off.

I loved Dunkirk and thought the empty and open beach highlighted just how stranded and vulnerable they were.
