          Thanks! For some reason (and I admit I was barely paying attention when it was released) I had the impression it was to some degree a right-wing propaganda film. I’m guessing if it’s being memed here it’s probably not. 🙂

          Will check it out!

            I expected it to be a lot more political in focus but it is straight up a movie about war. The grim, the mundane, the absurd and the horror of war. I think the closest inspiration I would say is Apocalypse Now.

      One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time! Great acting, music, writing, costumes, concept, locations. Proper cinematic experience!

        Oh? I saw the trailer and figured it was some bs like that 2012 apocalypse movie. Didn’t think it would be a fun watch.

          Disaster movies are almost always bad but they’re also almost always fun.

          It wasn’t super fun, but it gave me feelings. Some of them were dark.

          The same guy who wrote Civil War also did 28 Days Later, and it shows in the best way.

      It was amazing. What are I mean would the media do while a country tears itself apart?

      I’m a fan of Alex Garland. I probably went into it a bit too hyped, and still thoroughly enjoyed it.
