Did we watch the same fucking movie?

I don't care if I sound contrarian, Dunkirk was forgettable as all fuck and I'm honestly baffled by how anyone can come away from this thinking otherwise.

The set pieces were empty, overly pristine and sterile while the costumes were new and spotless and the acting was just dry and unconvincing. I did not feel like I just watched a bunch of tired, war-weary soldiers waiting for over a week to go home, I felt like I just watched a stage play about a rescue that lasted maybe an afternoon and evening carrying into the next morning. Where were the hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies, vehicles, guns and equipment they had to leave behind? Where was the chaos of the civilians who were waiting to leave with the soldiers? Where were the hundreds of aircraft we KNOW were fighting over the skies of Dunkirk throughout the evacuation? Why did everything look and feel so small-scale and unambitious?

I'm serious, I don't know why critics are pissing themselves over this, the 5 minute Dunkirk scene in Atonement alone was head and shoulders above this garbage. I really want to know who watched this and plans to see it again or get the blu-ray or even fucking torrent this shit after already seeing it. Is it a meme? Am I being memed? Nolan took a massive operation that united a nation and turned it into a love letter to himself.
