Saw Alex Garland's Civil War, intense movie. Already we have reviewers missing the point, imagining it's all about their politics, their side. Ignore them. Decide for yourself. Great scene: the sniper duel. It doesn't matter who's side they're on when they're trying to shoot you.

I didn't hate Civil War, but I wouldn't say I absolutely loved it, either. It is an amazing movie, but it was very hard to watch.

I would say it is best to watch Civil War knowing as little as possible, so please be warned for any potential spoilers below.

It is incredibly well written, directed, shot, and acted. I really appreciate the story, it gripped me from the beginning, with the unique sound design during the A24 title card.

But I also nearly got a panic attack in the first 5 minutes. This movie is definitely not for those with PTSD, especially combat and/or gun-related trauma. If any of those apply to you and you still want to see it, I wouldn't recommend IMAX. You will feel every shot fired. Otherwise, the biggest screen with the loudest speakers is the best way to watch Civil War.

The cast was fantastic. Kirsten Dunst and Wagner Moura felt so real, and Stephen McKinley Henderson just seems like an expansion of his Dune character, in the best way. I'll be honest, and again this is kind of a spoiler, but I was expecting more Jesse Plemons. He was great, the scene was fantasticly blood-pumping, but I just thought he might have a larger role. My real standout performance, though, is from Cailee Spaeny as Jessie. Last seeing her in Pacific Rim: Uprising helped to reinforce the idea that she's still "just a kid", but her performance as the story progresses really exemplifies the horror of war that turns bright-eyed kids into weary adults in an instant.

As much as people will try to figure out the politics of Civil War or just make up their own, this movie isn't about politics. There is a scene that really drives the message home, if you're paying attention (LAST SPOILER WARNING).

The scene at the winter wonderland is just a microcosm of the movie and the war. You have two sides shooting at each other, and all that matters to the other is that they shoot first. It doesn't matter who started or who is from where or who believes in what. That might've mattered at the beginning, but now all that matters is being the last one standing.

It doesn't matter who started the war or why, all that matters to either side is victory.

I am a pacifist, but I appreciate war films, because most of them are anti-war. Civil War was hard to watch, but I'm very glad I did.

Seriously, that's like saying "The Day After Tomorrow" is not about global warming but just a disaster movie with some nebulous commentary attached to it.

I'm not grilling on your ask, I'm grilling on the producers of the movie saying it's non-political when in fact it very much is. Which is part of the reason why it annoyed me. I'm usually a big fan of Carpenter-esche movies, but this one catches all of the bad habits.

Would I recommend it? I'd recommend you go see it, and draw your own conclusions. I'll welcome the discussion a lot.

hahaha I love every review of civil war calling it cowardly for not taking a stance! you missed the fucking point! like it flew right over your head and you missed it! if it had taken a stance it would've discounted the entire point that these characters are fully disconnected from what's happening! they are trying trying to get the shot, get the quote, get the photo!

the entire time I was watching civil war, I wanted it to be a trilogy. I want the same movie again but from the perspective of one of the sides, and then the same movie again from the other side. I want two sequels with bias so the original hits all the harder.

both sides of the war toted exactly zero political ideologies that we got to know about. literally zero. its just war, buddy! and when you're in the warzone, it doesn't matter why people are shooting. it just matters that you don't get shot
