This is one of those movies you watch once and never again, but not because it was bad. Just because it leaves you with such an unsettling horror.

Never been here before but bruh I love your 'Casual Cinephile Critic' system - it really grinds my gears when someone grades/judges a movie based on them having come to it with a 'wrong' mindset and acting like the film was somehow bad because they wanted a popcorn flick out of an arthouse piece, or vice versa. It's true that many movies can be enjoyed many ways, but I think it's so critical to actually keep in mind what the movie was trying to be / achieve and judge it on those merits; and the idea of looking at it from each lense and each one having a different overall grade both makes perfect sense and allows a movie to be much more fairly judged in the end. Props on that system, very smart.

I can’t recommend this movie to everyone but I fucking love it . 9/10 🎥.

Imagine Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nightcrawler as a Journalist in this universe 😂

This movie is spooky cause it feels like this is right around the corner. I saw it last night and It was so good

The marketing really sold a different movie, this was still good but i hope people dont get disappointed over it

I love when war movies like Civil War and Saving Private Ryan truly capture the fear and emotions that would actually be in war and not some movie that makes you want to join the army cause it looks awesome

Seeing it in an hour. A24 been hitting a mostly good streak for me, Everything Everywhere, The Whale, Past Lives, and The Iron Claw have all ranked high for me by the time the end of the year rolls around, so I hope this’ll do the same for me as those other films 🔥

Loved the movie, especially when they dragged Trump screaming from behind the desk in the oval office.

Just left the theater.. man what a film. Can’t recommend to everybody but every encounter they come across is scarily realistic. From the battles, all the way down to the In-human elements that a human will do to you. There was one scene where a guy was pinned down under fire and couldn’t move, and I couldn’t eat the rest of my popcorn after that scene.. brilliant movie 🙌🏾

Every gunshot is a jump-scare.

I loved it. Idk why I walked in there thinking it was going to be more satirical, good GOD was it dark lol. But very good. Wagner Moura and Kirsten Dunst, no one told them that this probably won’t win an Oscar because they swung for the fences. The young lady was excellent too, Jesse Plemons is always a pleasure.

Kirsten Dunst is amazing in this

Cris maybe Annihilation deserves a rewatch because that movie rules it's beautiful and incredible

Your my favorite KZfaqr man always blessed to see what you create keep up the good work champ 👌🏼

Only real 3c fans can like this comment

I’ve never thought I would watch this movie until I watched this review thank you Cris

Getting political is definitely a red flag comment. Person: "slavery is wrong." MAGA Republican: "Let's not get political here."

Nice T-Shirt man, good to see a Halloween 4 fan, That film is underated.

The fact that this movie made me feel so much fear and tension for a characters deaths (especially in that scene with Jesse Clemons, his acting and all the others in that scene was brilliant) than I have in any marvel movie shows that grounded movies build higher stakes.

Chris, I watched it today and I was looking through your page trying to see if you had posted a review before I decided to watch it. but ultimately decided to go ahead and watch it. And oh boy was that a huge win for me, a movie hasn’t left me pondering the orb like that move did in such a long time. I’m so glad I decided to give it shot. Glad to see you liked it too!

Great Video Cris! 👍

Dammm the KZfaqrs crazy this week so many videos shows movies my brain hearts

Another superb wwll crafted balanced a+ review ❤ thanks Chris

What a fantastic review Cris, I’m planning to see it tonight and your review has only increased my anticipation. Thank you for bringing up how the films events are perceived through the neutral lense of journalists, that’s given me a much clearer mindset for what to expect.

I agree the movie is not about the reason it’s about the consequences

I love when you talk sound design haha

The way to watch this is Dolby Cinema. When I tell you I don’t get scared by much horror these days, and a gunshot made me jump TWICE…yeah.

This movie cinematography & sound design paired together made so many scenes so visceral and immersive

Yea, I loved it!!! The acting and action was great!!! Now, I want to see Ex Machina! I haven’t yet!

Alex Garland we need more great movies from you! As an aspiring actress I hope to work with you one day! ❤❤❤❤

I watched this movie and I have the same mindset as you I didn’t check reviews or anything before But once I finished watching it, I saw reviews hating this movie and having the wrong mindset such as This movie sucked, no way California and Texas team up that’s not realistic, what’s was the point of the war, etc etc I saw what the movie was telling us: the perspective of the journalists. I think it’s pretty plain and simple what the movie is.. But pretty surprised how a lot of people are making this a political thing

The Hong Kong scene was gripping, spectacular film

I appreciate your reviews. When I'm on the fence about seeing a movie I will turn to your review to see what your thoughts are. I was on the fence about this one and I'm definitely going to see it now.

You can do and talk about whatever the Hell you want Chris! Never back down! Take the handcuffs off! ❤

The way the gun shots and explosion sounded was really good in theaters

I really enjoyed this movie ! The movie was so intense

I really loved this movie. So many times during the movie I caught myself tearing up. So sad, so dramatic, and I often felt I was transported into that world. Powerful message, too.

Chris, I have to ask, are you gonna give your input on Shogun? I've saw up to episode 7 and I think it's an absolutely amazing mini series, there's 10 episodes and 8 are out now. Idk if it's on hulu+ but it's on disney plus over here in Ireland. Also, this is hiroyuki sanada at his absolute best

This movie is on my list it’s nice Chris watched this and I’m hearing great things about this movie.

I had zero interest in this film until your review Chris. Now, I’m going to stream it upon release 😂.

who else is watching the shrek 2 for its 20th anniversary? 🧅🫏

"Did we go through a time machine!?"

I’ve been watching since day uno mi hermano. I always appreciate your review as well as Jeremy.

watching this trailer in IMAX immediately makes me want to watch it on imax

Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog!!!

Hello cris, I was just wondering but do you plan on making a spoiler review for Winnie the Pooh: blood and honey 2, I think I had heard you say you would make the video after the movie was in theaters or was done in theaters

Saw it yesterday evening, and I felt very impressed by this movie. The relationship between Kristen Dunst Lee and new photo journalist, Jessie is the strongest part of the movie I thought. Both of them are very good performances I think. Dunsts character of Lee has seen lots of horrible things and is totally numb to the horrors she experiences, Jessie wants to be just like her and follow in her footsteps, even though Lee is kind of not to welcoming to Jessie as they both go on a road trip together to Washington DC, though a sort of friendship starts to slowly build and Lee and Jessie learn from each other. This movie is incredibly tense, throughout their road trip to Washington DC, the different encounters along the way get more and more tense, as they get closer to where they are trying to get. Wagner Mouras character is very interesting character, he seems like he's known Lee for awhile and he seems very protective of Jessie, making sure she ducks when they encounter soldiers firing. The part about things being vague, or not really defined, as far as what the rebels are fighting for, for me personally it didn't really bother me. think the movie is way more focused on the Lee and Jessie dynamic, story thread and showing the entire movie through their eyes, .Jesse Plemons scene is totally unsettling, disturbing and cranks up the intensity to a whole another level.

First question.....where you get that halloween 4 shirt?👀

Just got done watching it. Believe or not, this is the first Alex Garland movie I've seen. I thought it was pretty good.

3C THERE IS NO WAY THE TRAILER PLAYED AS AN ADD BEFORE I Watched THIS VID!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

Chris, I'll be on your side in a civil war.

I think I'll go watch this now because of your review. 👍

Wow chris, thank for addressing that Captain America and Iron man are in this movie and also George Washington. Couldn't thank you enough.

I thought it was a brilliant film. The score was the unsung hero in the movie for me. The tension throughout the movie was thick and heavy.

This would a great idea for a TV series

I watched it two nights ago and I didn't even hear about this one coming. What a great surprise this one was! They did have an impromptu music choice at their first stop. I didn't see how that Boogie Down Productions song fit in there. Kinda weird music choice. But did recognize the song from the early 90s late 80s lol. Yes this was a great surprise.

Cris the top G

I hated and loved it. It was basically saying to the American people, Is this what you really want. Im a former infantryman and felt that the combat scenes were mostly tactically sound.

Saw it this week and it was an interesting film. Wish they had shown how the war started, etc.

Saw it this afternoon. Thought it was great

I hope they release more lore because im very interested.

The could have titled the movie differently. But good movie - tense and well shot. And the sound of the bullets!

Wait Sam Wilson just became Captain America and he already started one of these

Can't wait to see this man

I saw it last night, loved it. Made me scared by how real it could feel tho.

Awesome video 3c films

I thoroughly enjoyed "Civil War." The acting, direction, story/ plot, cinematography, pacing. It serves as a warning for the U.S. Alex Garland 's direction is impeccable. A24 always put out unique and creative movies and isn't afraid to take risks. As an aspiring actress I hope to work with them multiple times in the near future. This was another good review. ❤❤❤❤

I viewed the big states team up as a mutual dislike of the president and each other but hashing out things after the finish business. Even sam commented that the states could turn on each other.

(Disclaimer: haven't seen it yet) I have a feeling that having watched 20 Days in Mariupol (a documentary about video journalists documenting the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine) will allow me to understand the main characters a lot more.

Honestly kinda relieved this film isn’t heavily political. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy thought provoking and compelling films, but it feels like many films these days always have something to say about something going on in current events. I think films like Godzilla Minus One were the perfect kind of political. Touching on things that most people can universally relate to.

I came out of the movie like two hours ago tonight. It was really good and thought-provoking.

I did like the scene where the sniper says, "I have good news".

8/10 for me, saw it last night. Only issue I had was that abrupt ending.

When are you going to watch Abigail and are you going to do a spoiler after it releases

I saw this movie on Monday. I found this movie to be excellent. I was on the edge of my seat quite a bit. And just the thought of this really happening is mind boggling. A for me

M j's in the movie!

I was so sure this was going to be political commentary and didn’t want to see it but this review has me rethinking king that. Thanks!!

This would be terrifying in real life…

Great shirt man!

0:59 where are you hearing those jokes the jokes I be hearing are about the 1800s slavery civil war

Chris, yesterday I went to the theaters and they played a brief teaser of a new Friday the 13th film by IFC films before my movie began. Do you know about this?

Ayyyy Annihilation is amazing my dude.

Great video

I didn't understand the weird paint colors during the city fight scene and the sniper scene. Anyone know?

Great review man

Much better than make believe men wearing tights and masks.

i saw it on a super screen and i gotta say i really would go see it on imax again if i could even tho it scared me id go just for that one scene cause bamf sound

The way they shot the film was great. Stunning really. But the story itself left some to be desired.

This is a must see in IMAX. The sound was incredible!! It’s like they’re shooting and bombing in the movie theater

3c Alex garland already said the what hen said in that interview. What he really said is he’s going to take a break from diretion for the foreseeable future and people took that like the guy was retiring

I loved this movie so much. My favorite of his films. The entire DC part was so intense

Just saw it in theatres, very intense

Hay @3CFilms I am just wondering when you are going to do the spoiler review on Winnie the pool blood and honey 2 ? (And if you don’t want to do it I understand)

Her name is Kirsten, not "Kristen".

I haven't seen it and probably never will. I saw Alteoris review this morning and she said that she wanted her money back and it was boring for the most part. I find it weird that California and Texas paired up. I think it had potential for today's political climate but just follows journalists around..kind of wasted...but again I haven't seen it so 🤷🏻‍♂️

The movie sold me on a Civil War so I was going wanting to see that plot and that movie, so when I find out that it really isn’t at all about it kinda made me feel this was bait and switch from the marketing.

This movie is literally a 10/10. So insane. Literally had some senses where my hands were shaking so intense. Definitely a 10/10.

Can’t wait to see this and Abigail

A movie that has a war between two countries? Gee I wonder why that feels so familiar.
