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
