Trump derangement syndrome in full force. Thats really who this movie is about. They are trying to say if he gets elected,this is the future. Movie sucked as all woke movies do. Surprisingly the main characters are caucasian! And no homosex scenes, couldn't believe that. But in a nutshell all it's about is four journalists on thier way to photograph a president getting shot. An older woman being replaced by a younger version of herself.
No stars, terrible script, amateur acting, blood where it doesn’t belong, my popcorn got stuck in my throat from the noise, tried to split the country A total waste of money. give to a chayand stay home.
It was bad, very bad, because it attempts to suggest what the author thinks could happen if a trump like president were ever to regain power. The author then cleverly changes the sides to make it look like the republican western part of American are the good guys who are engaged in a civil war (that is very short on details) against the executive office with a goal to execute the president on sight. The war is going poorly for the president, so a ragtag crew of reporters attempt to make a 900 mile trip up to Washington, DC to interview the president who is taking his last stand from within the White House, in their PRESS Vehicle right in the middle of all the civil unrest. (They should have taken a tank). The ending blows a political ill-wind for republicans and democrats alike. There is non-stop blood soaked violence. With the sacking of the White House that consisted of what seems like never ending machine gun fire against the secrete service. No matter with side you are for, the ending is not good for either. The movie was written by an English author, which explains why he got the California Texas alliance all wrong. I fear that this movie will embolden more than a few radical vigilante extremists to commit acts of mass violence.
Horrible script, casting, music OMG worst movie I’ve ever seen. Wanted to leave - don’t waste your money!!!
It's making the lefties very uncomfortable as you can see by the comments here. Too funny.
Very good movie that was well directed, well written, good acting and helps the viewer understand what could happen if things go the way of a civil war in a world that is constantly changing. I liked the approach that was taken to tell a story through reporters’ view. The movie, in my opinion, is not about political views or the cause of the civil war but rather the suffering that a war will cause.
The only thing that I was stirring when I saw this movie were my bowels. 1 star for the movie, 3 stars for the washroom (low on TP).
I will join the one star party. Obvious propaganda. Was going to see it Now NO
if U want to watch a 12 year old press reporter put in the line of fire- a movie without a plot - stupid acting - then U have the right movie. I almost demanded my money back -Perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen
Exciting combat. I had a lot of the same feelings watching this as the Normandy Invasion in Saving Private Ryan. Really gives a better idea of how a modern American civil war would go. I suppose that there would be some real phychos coming out in such a situation like in this movie. That is probably war. I would have thought that the president would have had better protection. The movie doesn't get into why the president stayed in office for a 3rd term. Texas and California as the western alliance is anything but likely in our current environment. It is hard to say how much this movie relates to it. It seems like they made a money maker with all of the talk of a states seceding.
A stirring and objectional look at what could happen in the US, great combat scenes. The fact that it doesn't explain why people are fighting is the point... it's just showing what can happen, it's not some political left/right ideology thing so don't get upset about that.
I came in with high expectations, but I wanted to leave after 15 minutes. HOrrible deplorable dialogue, Empty shallow characters you didn't care about. Kirsten Dunst couldn't save this movie. This attempt at showing a Un-United States failed to hit the bullseye. In fact the dart missed the board. No explanations or back story were offered as to why what was happening was happening. Civil War offered a slow prodding plot. Honestly, I still don't know why Civil War was made.
About five minutes into this film, I was confident that I knew its outcome. I was exactly right. Several times I felt like getting up and leaving, but the popcorn was so good I thought I would stay and finish it, get my free refill and then leave. Sadly, my popcorn lasted until the end of the movie. Popcorn: 5 stars/Movie: 1 star
To those of us who are accurately informed (FaceBook posts, FOX "News" and OAN NOT being our sole sources of information) the movie was disappointing and too "Hollywood"; to the willfully ignorant public living in la-la land (a Psycopath running for President of the USA, Fascism threatening Democracy at home and around the world, etc) I hope this movie provides sufficient SHOCK value to wake them up!
Predictable leftist BS. Boring "plot(?)" Do not reward leftists by paying good money for propaganda.
Its hard to enjoy a movie whose political ideology is too apparant. Jiust look at the comments
Waste of time and money - no backstory and weak scripting (take out the f@$#s and you lose 50% of the already nonexistant dialogue). Where did the Western Forces, Florida Alliance, and all the other political entities come from? What was the trigger that pushed the country over the edge? Total let down...sheesh!
You can always spot a trump supporter be their ignorant/arrogent comments. Even here.rh
Plausible
Meh
Not confusing at all, smartest movie I’ve ever seen
This is entertainment spend your money
Best movie or 2024 spend your money
going into this movie I had high hopes. I was hoping it wouldn't be a left leaning movies but it was. The ending was truly repulsive and as usual Hollywood likes to divide the Country. I hope it's a bomb at the box office
Worst movie of 2024. Don't spend your money i would wait to watch it on tv if it makes it to the small screen.
This is not Entertainment. Save your money for a fun show😀
Great movie! Art intimidating real life.....sort of.
I just watched this movie with my WIFE and KIDS yesterday and let me just say,I am disgusted by the images this movie portrays.. it is blasphemous and typical predictive programming. May god bless all of you in the coming years, we are in trouble.
Very confusion and stupid. By far, worst movie I've ever seeen
Loved every minute of this movie. Acting was amazing. Best movie I've seen in a very long time. Highly recommend.
Just boring. I wanted to see what caused the civil war. Just boring movie following press a few scenes where they almost died. Wanted to walk out. Should have
We love war movies but this was ridiculous. I’m telling you I don’t know how this movie was even financed, no cohesive story line or plot. The characters went through the motions, not sure what the motives were for the people fighting, what caused the war and what was the end result of the war was. The theater industry is begging for good movies to be produced to get the audiences to return. If something doesn’t change I’m afraid the movie theater experience will no longer be financially feasible. Hollywood needs to quit producing this junk and make something worth spending our hard earned dollars on. It’s called the entertainment industry for a reason..ENTERTAIN us.
Wow, I didn't like this too much. I was hoping to see what caused the war to begin with. California & Texas don't have a lot in common, so I was hoping to get that story. It was hard to follow and a little boring with a random group of people. The psycho dude with the red glasses - what was his deal? And the old man saved their lives and sacrificed his own in the process. He was a war hero! Icky feeling overall.
Not great… Not horrible… a bit contrived and with missed opportunities. Disappointing as a “war” movie. Reasonable as a “journalism” movie.
Hollywood why would you make a film like this for copy cats enough violence everyday & not improving.
I saw the movie and after reading the reviews of others it is interesting to read how several reviews thought it was one major faction or the other, but with out assuming any party affiliation, the movie was "war", it is what can happen in a functioning society when people stop communicating. Would you rather live is a war torn country or would you rather have a conversation. My take on the film was, it was a wake up call to the USA to stop getting caught up in propaganda and start talking to others and thinking more. "wag more, bark less"
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen
I honestly think it is the best movie of the year so far. It is kind of a surreal movie. It reminds me of Apocalypse Now of all movies. I'm guessing the negative reviews are from those who thought the movie took shots at their political beliefs. I really enjoyed the movie, and I'm right of center in my political beliefs btw.
PTSD on steroids. Well it is a war movie. Violence abounds. Dead bodies are everywhere. The sound is relentless. The perspective & bravery of war journalists is interesting. An ad for the movie said that it could be predictive of reality considering today's political landscape. That was interesting to keep in mind. The actors were good. What didn't work was motivation for the war. Texas and California working together is unlikely. Their issues are not revealed. Perhaps that's not important when the focus is on journalism. Their goal is to just tell the bloomin' story and forget about answering questions and feeling feelings. Something is unsatisfying about that though. So it loses two stars.
Only went to see this as nothing else seemed to be interesting. I thought i"d give it a try. Nice topic but boring movie. Whoever wrote the script for this ought to leave being a Director and Movie Writer forever and hang your head in shame. There virtually was no plot to the movie, an obese black man in it, a 10 year girl they let be a Press Reporter and put her in the middle of fire. So ridiculous -w e actually were laughing in our seats when the shootings began - so comical the way they did it. Save your money - go get a burger somewhere but bypass this stupid one.
