This looks like an epic film and I'd love to see it. However, I am highly claustrophobic and have seen trailers that show men trapped in planes underwater (drowning is another one of my phobias) so I don't know if I can handle watching it. The first time I saw Titanic, I had pressure in my chest from a rising panic attack that was so severe it felt as if I was in chest-deep water like Jack and Rose. I still have trouble getting through the scene when he's handcuffed in the purser's office (or wherever.) So, are there many scenes in Dunkirk that show underwater or claustrophobic situations, or do you think I can get through the movie without freaking out?

I would say that if you have an issue watching drowning, you probably wouldn't be able to make it through the film. A lot of it is filmed to purposely make you feel claustrophobic and like you're in the situation with the characters.

Book Rating

The start of one of my favourite trilogies

The imagination involved in writing this book is phenomenal. Chambers has built whole worlds around each of her characters in this, from the AI who essentially runs the ship, to the human who is escaping her old life, via reptile-like ships captains. There’s excitement, grief, love and everything in between. And I loved it. It held my attention, and I didn’t want it to end. The wait for the second book was a long time, let me tell you! It’s one of those books where I finished it and wished that I could immediately pick it up and read it for the first time again.
So yes, I really rather liked it!

Season 1 Review

This show, I think I binge watched in only a matter of days. It is quite different from the book if you have read that first, but regardless, it is a fantastic show. It is very much a psychological thriller in that you won't really have that, "OH!" Moment until around the last episode, in which you will be so disappointed that it is over and want there to be more. There may be a few moments of confusion, but push through as it really does all make so much sense in the end. Overall, a very well directed, produced, and cast show that you are guarenteed to love!

I don't know if it was its shortness or the plotline just didn't pull me in but I found this a little odd.

It also seemed to happen too quick. One minute they were meeting for the first time and two days later, after not seeing each other again in between, they're having sex like crazy people and during those days they fall in love with each other only for her to leave...?

I just didn't quite get where her reasoning was in that. I understood her wanting to get a little revenge but at the same time she never talked about her plan, so I didn't understand what she was doing until she told him.

I wont be reading the second novella in this series.
