I thought the score definitely got in the way of the visuals, as there was too much of it and it was too loud.
I liked the movie, but I think you liked it better than I did - I had issues with the structure, which I felt was unnecessary - and I also had a hard time keeping track of the two non-Harry Styles boys, especially once they were all wet and their hair was no longer curly or straight.
I will say that after waiting most of the movie for it, the wide shot of the flotilla of little ships did make me choke up, so the 70mm was worth it for that.
Otoh, I would have watched a whole movie of Tom Hardy in a Spitfire.
(As an American, I didn't learn about Dunkirk until my recreational reading about the war from a non-US perspective over the last few years; I'm pretty sure we were taught that the war started with Pearl Harbor when I was in school [in the 80s]).
