The Civil War Movie is Mediocre and Sucks Off the Left While Feigning Neutrality

Many people don't understand why the director decided to create a fictional alliance between California and Texas. The reason was that he didn't wanted the people to identify the rebels with the left or the right, he just wanted to show how a dangerous a polarized society is, and how fast everything can escape from our control. Many people that have live a civil war in their countries say that they didn't see it coming until it happened.

Why did the president stay in Washington and hide under his desk? Why wasn't he at Mount Weather or somewhere?

It’s obvious most of these reviewers have not served in the military, do not have any experience in war fighting because their reviews are all based on childish superhero movies that they grew up on instead of being in a foreign country and being looked at and shot at just because you’re an American. This movie is just a movie however there is a major message in this movie and that is, war is really hell and it’s not something that we should glorify and it’s not something that we should ever hope for. Stop trying to analyze it like you’re watching some stupid superhero movie and analyze it like you’re watching the international news every day because the events in this movie might be closer than some of you naive souls think.

"The movie is political." It's a movie about a modern day civil war in America. How can it NOT be political??

I've only seen the film once, but I don't recall hearing anything about the details of the Antifa massacre. So far as the movie left me to consider, Antifa could have been the killers just as easily as the victims. As a libertarian, trying to view it without siding with a particular team in the D/R sense, I thought it did a good job. My biggest issue, as I deal with in daily life as I have for the past 20+ years, is that the film doesn't identify any unifying philosophy against the current regime. Granted, a growing number of people are dissatisfied with the status quo, but they're divided by tangent issues: race, sex, class,...it only serves the unified elite. But goddamn if you can get people to actually read or even listen to the works of the Enlightenment period that trickled down to create the fire that birthed this great nation. I'd give my life to make this nation what it was meant to be. I just wish that it was that easy- and that modern Americans deserved the sacrifice.

Did it meet the DEI quotas?

I’ll be honest I watched it last night and I enjoyed the action for what it was. But the movie was super bland, all the journalists scenes were boring. Replace them with context as to why the country is at war would have been better. I’d rather be shown the atrocities then told about them in a car ride. And as a guy who does the occasional larp session at the flat range I can say all of the combat is a heavy larp. The biggest example is the way they got the president, there are tunnels out of the White House everywhere the idea that they killed him in the oval office is absurd.

As a veteran the military tactics in the film was the funniest part of the movie

Oh my god… so the film doesn’t actually have substantive political discourse in it and it’s skewed? Skip. From Canada.

Speaking as one of those 'dangerous' leftists...I have to say my opinion of this movie is a solid 2 pineapples out of Meh. To me the whole thing felt like a film school students first try and had only two writers, both of which just spent their days saying "This scene needs more guns". 😂

Good video and commentary on the movie. The movie was painfully bland and benign. I noticed the lefty bullshit, too. I shouldn’t have wasted my time and money on it, but the premise seemed interesting so I went. That’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back.

I thought the movie was hilarious, but I was kind of just watching it whilst not really thinking about any messages or themes. However, the whole "journalism good" was just something you couldn't ignore. Loved D.C. battle aside from the final scene and Plemons scene. Had people leave the theater because of Plemons.

easily the funniest thing about this was the texas-california alliance, talk about 2 states who would never work with each other lol

Watched all I could stand on flixtor. It sucked from the start. Nothing at all resembled a war or even a skirmish. They show a "crashed" (junk) 60s Era helicopter with no weapons or dead crew sitting in a JC penny parking lot. They showed 2 national guard soldiers, 1 NG hum v, and showed it twice in 2 different places. JC Penny went bankrupt in 2020 and hadn't made a profit in 40 years, so to imply that it looked abandoned and decaying bevause of war is laughable. It's the equivalent of me taking my kids to a hardees and saying look we're in a civil war, just because Hardee's are either abandoned, rundown or both.

Thank you for this video. I had a feeling when I first heard about it in the theater, that it was going to be politically driven and probably lean heavily to the left. I wasn't 100% sure, but most of the time when the movie industry pump something out it's heavily left leaning. After watching your video, I now know not to watch it as it is a complete waste of time. Thank you again

Any plans to review the fallout show? Thanks

You only see right wing paramilitaries and never the left wing/ urban guerillas like we saw in Portland

Username checks out.

You summed it up perfectly about The music during serious moments…. I see what they were trying to go for but missed the mark. Movie sucked and I wish I saw this review before I wasted my time.

10:00 is on point 😂 "It's a f***ing civil war." I'm definitely not a fan of the conservative white guy tropes. What the Antifa massacre was and who killed who was ambiguous. I think to a degree it was critical of journalists who also seemed unconcerned with humanity and more concerned with getting a quote, getting the picture etc. I thought the sniper scene was great, I thought that was the most elemental and apolitical scene. "No one's giving us orders man. Someone's trying to kill us. We are trying to kill them." The airstrikes on American citizens thing said about the president could have been an Obama comment. I don't think it's as partisan as you think it was but I liked your review
