I hear you...  The # of boats was WAY off, too.    That bugged me.    I was able to shrug that off, as I appreciated the non CGI.  And frankly, I was stressed enough to not care.   And I had no expectations(knew nothing about the film), other than that if they made some sappy story of so-n-so reuniting with his "love of a lifetime"  I would have freaking walked out.    They didn't.  It's why I didn't mind the lack of character development.  Like I said.  It worked for me.    Dunno if it hit me as hard as  the Saving Private Ryan scene, where they dropped the door for the landing craft... (that was ridiculous)    Instead, it just kept coming.

I also would have appreciated a sweeping epic, so we could have been properly awestruck, by what many scholars/history buffs call the changing point of human history...(Nolan, too BTW)    Compartmentalizing can help relate to the folks that have ZERO clue about what Dunkirk  meant, or why there isn't a Nazi flag flying on their street...   I had no problem with the choice, but I would have enjoyed it your way as well.  ;-)   And I would have appreciated more than 15, of the 800 little boats of Dunkirk... But I still really enjoyed it.
