Lol I just wanted to rant. My cheap ass theater is having IMAX technical issues and canceled the ticket and is showing the entire weekend as sold out. I contacted the alist support and that's what they told me. They said keep an eye out for when it's available again lmao

Movie was decent. 3rd act goes straight up OG modern warfare 2 but it was intense
Pet peeve is that I hate when characters do obviously stupid things in movies. Kinda immersion breaking
The ending is cold AF tho...whole movie tbh

Lemme try this loch121 thing
Movie needed the origin in the story.
Jesse was reckless af at the end
Joel needed to pick up a gun instead of just running with the troops
The soldier with the red glasses was fuckin intense
The old black guy is always dying in movies
Poor Lee
Chinese niggas were reckless and death was inevitable
The Dolby sound in the theater during the battle was crazy
The White House needs to have safe rooms... sheesh
I was wondering why that bitch was running with the flag and then was like oh... nevermind

So they fixed the IMAX and I was able to catch the late show
There was a lot of foreshadowing for that ending if you caught it. Of course she captured it too
Wish they went more detailed in the how and why. We were just dropped in during the end of the war. I get the complaints about that
Figures they met with a bunch of militia that was just killing whoever they wanted
The quote scene was kind of under dramatic IMO. Also I don't believe they could have just rolled up on the president. I'm not the least bit of a conspiracy theorist but I do believe they have a security/panic room that no one can access. That just wasn't believable to me
I don't know who was supposed to be considered the "good guys" but the WF just killing unarmed people too made them seem just as bad as the president
I'm not sure if it would happen anywhere close to this. The biggest thing IMO would be if the military obeyed orders and would actually target civilians
This would have been awesome to see in Dolby Cinema. Those shots were loud as hell in IMAX

Hmm I don’t have much to complain about really
I just needed some context about the war and why the president was hated so much to the point where Joel just wanted a quick quote before he gets killed
Also annoyed me how they didn’t have atleast a pistol on them just in case
It was nice to see Jesse and Lee’s roles/dispositions essentially switch from the first time they met to the last time they would see each other
Jesse plemons while limited gave the most tense scene of the movie so shoutout to him
Before the scene with the sniper at the house with the two guys and the Christmas stuff I was like “did Alex garland fall off?” Lol
But he kept me a supporter
Movie had his signature style as it was beautifully shot

Just finished watching this and that was something. Found the scene of war in streets in the US extremely disturbing. Jesse Plemons is so good at playing a sociopath or psychopath and his ability to leave an impact in a movie he's in for 5 minutes is a testament to him. The theater I was at was dreading when the Asian dude answered he was from Hong Kong. I found it kinda gross how the journalists (Joel then Jesse) were gushing with excitement about being in the middle of all that chaos in the name of journalism. The way they didn't even check on Kirsten's character after she had gotten shot was insane to me
I'm guessing Kirsten's character went through that stage before coming desensitized. Thought it was clever how Jesse and Lee essentially switched roles through the course of the movie. Just feels like everyone including the journalists lose their humanity in war.
From a technical standpoint, it's a beautifully shot film

I agree with Beta, maybe some background info on how the war started would have been interesting but I think Garland had no interest in providing that answer. The movie isn't about that

Civil War
War Wage
PRAISE: Director and writer Alex Garlands film about a dystopian future America, and a team of military-embedded journalists races against time to reach Washington, D.C., before rebel factions descend upon the White House is effective and then some. I liked how the layers are slowly but surely pulled back on what effect the new civil war has had on America in this movie. Those that take advantage of the war and those that simply tune it out. I did enjoy the vibe of the various characters in the film portrayed by Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sonoya Mizuno, and Nick Offerman all turning in strong performances ranging from world weary,pessimistic, to wide eyed determined and ambitious. As the movie played out I kept thinking would their actually be reporters and photojournalism actually covering a near apocalyptic situation......probably.
Some parts of the movie definitely reminded me of get the story no matter what movies like The Year of Living Dangerously and Under Fire.
There's a standout scene in the movie that displays just how bad things can get when division takes place on a grand scale i found it to be extremely intense and harrowing.
There's disturbing imagery throughout the movie some that are truly not for the faint of heart. Action sequences towards the end of the film were very involving.
PROBLEMS: I would have liked a bit more backstory on how things turned into brother against brother, and who was accountable. I was waiting for the one year earlier caption to hit the screen. There are a few predictable moments.
Scale of 1 to 10 an 8½
