I really disliked the soundtrack. I hated the juxtaposition of the songs with the action scenes. For me the sound design of this movie is superb. You could really hear the gunshots and the gunshots felt heavy, as they are supposed to be. I think if the movie kept only the score and only had the sounds of the gunshots and explosions, it would make us connect more to Kirsten Dunst's character breakdown at the end, since we would also feel beaten and assaulted by all of the gunshots from the movie. By adding those songs, for me, it took away from the weight that they could have had.

Just saw this movie and not sure if loved is the right word, but haven’t been as moved and tense in a movie for this long ever. I felt as anxious as I did during the firecracker scene in Boogie Nights for nearly the entire length of Civil War. I do like that they didn’t get into a right or wrong debate over what started the Civil War. As I think one of you mentioned I thought the point of the movie was how horrible and terrifying war could be if it happened here. I’m part of a generation that never was drafted into a war and while movies like Saving Private Ryan or Platoon can demonstrate the horrors of war, I felt like seeing this happen within our own country and scenes of US civilians taking each others lives was horrific enough. The audio and use of gunfire and explosions mixed with silence almost made me leave the theater as it was that intense for me. I’m concerned anyone with PTSD will have a difficult time watching and experiencing this movie in a theater, more due to the soundtrack than the visuals. A good movie but not one I think I could see again in the theater. Always love your reviews!!

Thank you Joseph for not making me feel alone! I saw this with three friends and they all loved it, but i couldn't get past the corny dialogue, and the character development didn't make sense at all. The young woman and stoner journalist have full blown panic attacks and are puking on themselves while Kirsten continues to hold it down and then out of nowhere the roles reverse at the last moment at the end. So bizarre. Was looking forward to this too and was sadly disappointed.

ive paid some attention to alex garland's films over the years and i think especially his series 'devs' is an interesting cultural critique of the tech industry, especially as someone living in the bay area. with that kind of precedent i do think garland has the capacity to do something interesting with this concept, if it were to be some kind of sociopolitical morality tale about increasing militarization inside of the US - which isn't a topic really breached at all in popular culture. i do have some doubts that it will fulfill that goal, especially with how much folks are saying it avoids alienating the audience, which i feel like is almost inherent if we are talking explicitly about these issues. thank u for your take!!

I saw it because Garland did Ex Machina, the best science fiction movie of the 21st century, but I didnt like it. Cinematography excellent. But the characters seemed thin with no development. And as you said, what development there was seemed forced. I get what Garland was saying. This happening here would be terrible and the press is great, etc.. But I think this could have been more impactful actually based on a real event or a country experiencing this in real life. Most press movies usually are and I just think it lands better if based on a real setting. And I guess I agree with you the press message seems out of date, and it was not believable to me everyone would just all put them in some safety bubble in 2024..because press. And I also think I disagree with part of the message that it does not matter the context. I think war, while terrible, does depend on context as to whether it is justified. If one side is oppressing the other or being violent or invading others, then the only option is rolling over and taking it. Without telling us "who is right", or at least giving us info to come up with our own conclusions about who is right, we have no context. So it just did not land for me.

I get being vague about the political causes of the war, but I think we needed to know a little more about the strategic progression of the war. Like, how were militias from Texas and Californian able to take on the entire U.S. military? Where are the submarines, aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons, fighter bombers and such? They could have briefly mentioned , perhaps, half of the U.S. military refused to fight for the President and joined the rebel factions. That would have made sense, and made Washington’s downfall seem plausible.

It's probably pretty accurate that there would be multiple different factions with different priorities. It makes no sense that Texas and California would get along. State lines in general probably would not hold up in general. It might be more City by city or area by area. California in Chicago would still be in League with the original regime. Chances are with a president like they described, at least a good chunk of the military and almost all veterans would likely join some kind of resistance instead of continuing at their own posts.

I didn't like it at all, I found the basic story (press photographers who want to get inside the center of war) absolutely incomprehensible. I found the scenes in which they actually walk around with the warring groups with their press passes to be so far-fetched (especially at the end, anyone who thinks that this is how press photos are taken from war zones has lost their mind) that I was, based on the description (Sci-Fi), hoping for some kind of twist. Otherwise it was like a typical zombie movie/series, just driving from A to B. The characters and their dynamics have been seen before, only much better, so I couldn't really empathize with anyone. Worldbuilding was also non-existent.

@LMason-qd7sq Ай бұрын

Superficially, it seems neutral (to avoid alienating), but from *opinion alert*: my interpretation, if California and Texas were figureheads for the primary ideologies in the "culture war", while the President represents the United States, extremism from the ideologies are ironically united in the way they are both trying to shut down the other, including the tactics, which really leads to a tangential shutdown of the United States. The vagueness seems more reflective of the confusion created by the chaos--19:00. Considering the context, "not taking sides" is itself taking a stance. Edit: Yet it is important to not let that stance end up becoming complacency. Seems less like a warning and more a recounting of current events told through hyperbolic metaphor. And if it were metaphor, maybe the press represents artists.

Loved your review gentleman. I don't think this film was made to be fun. More like a warning. It's a real amped up time we live in. Americans are so divided and ready to go at each other but they really don't know what a war like this would look like. And Yea, it's ugly. On the flip side, it's also a warning to the elites. Them and their kids don't have to go to war, be construction workers, or work in the service industry. But the rest of us do. And we all have a lot more in common than we do with the elites. So when push comes to shove we'll most likely put our differences aside and focus our attention on the bigger problem. Sad day for them. Because the odds are overwhelming in our favor.

I haven't seen this movie and don't intend to, so I'm okay with spoilers. I wish we could have got some backstory for the war in this movie, like why did the states secede and what was the tipping point that made open war breakout between the seceding states and loyalist ones. Also, does the movie explain at all what the other states are up to? The official map for the movie also shows the Florida Alliance and the New People's Army, but only the FA is shown in the trailers. Also, the president said in a short teaser that the FA failed which makes me think they don't influence the movie at all.

@@karimbennett5651 There were the four F-22s that flew over the WF's base, but that's the only time we see any fixed-wing aircraft. Not sure about the lack of drones or USMC units, but I'm guessing the Navy wouldn't see much action beyond blockading costal states. As for the general lack of US military presence in the movie, my own personal theory is that they were bogged down in various war zones around the world which left the mainland only lightly defended (Similar to the opening for Red Dawn 2012) and DC fell before the bulk of the military could respond. I spent a few hours going over all the trailers, and there are a small number of support weapons such as an M240B, an M249, an AR pattern DMR, and a mortar, but apart from those, it's all basic M4s with standard barrels and furniture and all but a couple have EOTech sights. Would have been more realistic to see at least a few M16A4s for both sides and some more M4 variants in different configurations. Also the FA would probably also have several civilian weapons and older milsurps.

I agree with you guys. Well crafted, for the most part. But the script didn't go far enough. Once you get over the aspect of it being American, it's business as usual IMHO. Because war is the same once it gets going. No matter the country. Even the part about family in Missouri choosing not to acknowledge it. That hit home, being a Missourian. And I think I'd probably feel the same. We're flyover country. It's their war... Until it's our doorstep type shit. But, this movie isn't bold. It's just well acted/shot/directed. Which is awesome. But it's tame. Presents no real questions. Doesn't even tell us why the war happens. And used Cali and Texas as the same. Which I can understand the, we're all Americans aspect to that. But, it fails in the end. And the final act action set piece was legit. But one of those Olympus Has Fallen movies did it just as well a few years ago. In the end, this felt like a black hole level dark comedy to me.

Spoilers : So.. the sound design was great . The weapons :0 And some of the shots are beautiful, but I felt that it was too devoid of life. Too many empty streets and parking lots. Did 3/4 of the population die off ? The cgi of the smoking blown out buildings needed more budget (I won’t blame the artists, but the limited budget) The DC scene wasn’t convincing for me, tho still unsettling.. too small of a battle, too few extras- whereas , the more rural scenes were great, and probably more realistic/ snipers facing off in a tense scene. Great scene. The small gunbattle set between the two buildings was great. But I don’t buy the final White House scene. The president would already be gone somewhere in a bunker or etc I will give the movie credit for delivering the unsettling feelings .. seeing the u.s. government falling. Needed more info, more story 28 days later was a perfect zombie movie. Ex Machina was very engaging. Civil war had more potential than what was delivered.

And also don’t know what people were expecting from regular infantry men and women mixed in with civilian militias with varying levels of military experience fighting each other with an array of military weapons. The movie didn’t go into any details of actual war plans or tactics just general military objectives. The movie was trying to portray the fog and chaos of war through the narrow perspectives of journalists. This isn’t a Navy Seal or SOF movie. The director and actors weren’t focused on the military tactics. They were focused on the violence the fear the fog and the destruction of our humanity towards one another in a war torn America.

I saw this Thursday and enjoyed it. I was pissed at the young girl too. I must have shouted, sit your ass down several times in the theatre.

Looking forward to this one ! I think the director said that he just wants to write now, not direct

I actually liked the movie. I went into it knowing it was not a Red Dawn 1984 type of thing. I found most of the characters unlikeable, except for Sammy. Lee’s character was way too vulnerable in the end (but Kirsten was awesome). Jesse Plemons rendition of a deplorable was crazy good. AND, those action scenes in DC in the last 1/4 of the movie were crazy good. It was a slow build up to the action which eventually turned into 13 Hours Benghazi in the end. 4 out of 5 stars for me.

18:27-19:15 the ONLY interpretation of the movie that seems valid (and I've been binging reviews lol)

My brother and his friend went to see it and they hated it especially the ending of it.

What was awful about the ending???

@Disney65Fan Ай бұрын

@leoneltorres4442 I have no idea but I think it's because Spoiler The president got shot and the film ended.

He'll be back. Creative people never retire. They think they will when they don't have any immediate inspiration but as soon as it hits him again he'll be back at it.

4 films directed by Garland ? he should have a director credit for the 2012 Judge Dredd movie, he kicked the director out of the editing booth and took over the movie

@morgierwin6641 Ай бұрын

How about the part where Sammy is shot and they don't even try to stop the bleeding. They just let him bleed out and die in the back seat. This movie is laughably awful. There are a lot of ridiculous parts like that. I'm not sure why everyone thinks it's good. It has no story.

Why would they put Nick Offerman in a bad wig? 😳 He has great hair. Ngl I was hoping for something a little edgier but it still sounds worth the ticket. Garland has some very interesting work. He creates a little ray of hope in his pessimistic worlds. Edit: 😒 Was disappointed.

The press being neutral has plenty of validity in an overseas leans but not in the US. Theres a whole things about how the CIA and military at large will never use Humanitarian Aid or the Press as cover ( under cover) to insure they stay a neutral life saving force. Harming journalist goes against the Geneva Convention.

@darkwingduck3477 Ай бұрын

This is why I think Garland should have made the main characters foreigners documenting the war as outsiders. I feel like everything in this film would have worked better if it had been done that way.

@@darkwingduck3477 Actually love this idea. Much more objective pov I think. But maybe he was worried about it reading as judgy. It could have created an outlook of the EU or UN reporters looking down on the mistakes the US made/making.
