1917

Sir Sam Mendes (director) and Lee Smith (editor) stated that, despite the apparently continuous shot (broken only by one interval of unconsciousness), actually dozens of "invisible" edits were made, concealed by transitions through black, moves behind objects, and so on. According to Mendes, the shortest unbroken shot was 39 seconds long, while the longest single continuous shot was 8-1/2 minutes long.

British trenches did not use long straight sections. Instead they used a traverse system of short fire trenches linked by traverses to minimize damage from a direct artillery hit in the trench system.

The opening logos are shortened and tinted blue.

The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.
