I get that press gets killed constantly, but the interview the president idea is so suicidal they may as well have done a story on “what does lava taste like”

#

Like I actually dont understand how they remotely thought that was gonna workppRapLaugh

#

Idk, I just spent the movie excited on seeing what this “infiltrate the white house” plot would be

#

I guess, it doesnt hurt the movie, i was just genuinely curious their plan

#

I suppose bringing along a 70 year old man and a random 20 year old does kinda show they didnt expect to live

#

I think in my head I was more like “they think theyre gonna pull this off” and in reality, it was “this is suicide but we have to TRY”

#

Omfg right

#

Its one of the prettiest, unique, and action packed final battles ive seen in a while

#

I mean, he dismantled the fbi, sounds familiar

#

President is so no bueno the legitimately neutral press guy smiles with his corpse

#

Oh i forgot, the random GO STEELERS, got me laughing

#

That first bullet fired was the biggest jumpscare ive ever had in a theater

#

Its such a tense scene and you have no damn idea who anyone is

#

I wasnt expecting that at all

#

That dude was TORE up

#

But he seemed like, and i dont wanna sound morbid, fresh kill

#

What happened to the poor lad

#

This honestly takes the crown from Dunkirk on loudest movie ive ever seen

#

There wasn’t a moment in this movie where I was bored.

#

Other than Dune 2, this is probably going to end up being my favorite movie of the year

#

Fuck why did they cut Stephen Henderson out of dune

#

Dudes a phenomenal actor

#

Whats your thought on the presidents final scene

#

His last words

#

I was a little afraid theyd just shoot him offscreen or he would get away

#

Thatll do pig

#

I think one of the issues for a lot is that the trailers all mentioned “the california texas alliance” and people just thought the movie would absolutely be a commentary on “insert presidential candidate here”

#

Tbh maybe they shouldnt have done that if they didnt want people thinking theyd get a political movie

#

Like EVERY trailer mentioned that

#

I kept expecting there to be some stupid twist “oh my dads the top secret service guy” type shit

#

That would have ruined it so hard

#

You know what I love, you never really even know where they are until the end

#

Like you see 600 miles to DC, but that doesn’t mean much

#

Im shocked i liked this as much as I did

#

I have like, a million thoughts on this movie and all are good

#

Whys he gotta quit filmmaking. Make more action Alex

#

No not in the slightest

#

Why’d their friend say he was from Hong Kong

#

Like i get it, we dont actually know what Meth Damons gonna do, and realistically he woulda killed everyone, but maybe just lie and say “oh kentucky” or some shit

#

I guess, but damn, “im a foreigner” is a risky ass answer

#

Yeah, and all of them were likely gonna die anyway

#

Joel certainly wasnt going to live

#

“Oh Florida, Central America then”

#

Didnt they even mention Florida was some other alliance entirely or am i crazy

#

Did we ever find out if they were pro or anti president

#

You know whats crazy in the trailer when Plemmons asks “what kind of American are you” i really assumed it was “are you pro or anti president”. I was kinda surprised he was actually meant “you literally aren’t from North America are you” although i suppose that IS essentially the same question

#

Lol i thought for sure when The President was rehearsing his speech he was going to drop a trump word like “bigliest”

#

This was the biggest victory of all the victories, many people are saying it

#

Fuck i gotta see this again

#

Not in dbox though

#

I would have done Dolby but it started an hour after

#

My IMAX is one of the nicer LieMax

#

I can drive twenty minutes to this or take a 45 minute train to legitimately a top 5 IMAX in the country. I may do that or Dolby

So intense. Definitely one of the better recent depictions of war in media. The guy I was sitting next to though seem disappointed and thought this was going to be a different type of movie since he was grumbling every so often.

#

Honestly i see so many saying that there wasnt enough action

I get why people are upset they dont explain the politics or who every faction is, i dont agree but i get it, but this movie is filled with action and every scene is unique and gorgeously shot

lol didn't want to rehash too much on what's already said. Anyways, thinking back on it, this movie did side characters really well. I'm usually team flesh out side characters as much as possible but the writing gave just enough to make the side characters seem real and understanding what they were all about.

#

Dude its a good movie

#

I wanna gush

#

Like super good. Best Garland movie in awhile.

winged gate
#

Saw this today

#

Basic thoughts, very good. Especially loved the visual story telling in this film, the intro to Jessie before she even says a word is incredible and just continued on from there

#

Like an entirely different movie should tell that story

#

If this one gave the story, it would take away a lot of the neutral journalist angle,

winged gate
#

Yeah I think I agree ultimately

winged gate
#

Read back and yep this seems like its a film @devout holly and me both like!

pale turret
#

Fuck that was good

#

The 300 Canadian line got a lot of laughs here lol

pale turret
#

It’s definitely intentionally obscured too

#

Like you never learn who the winter wonderland soldiers or Jesse plemons’ group are fighting for

#

Id smoke weed with him any day

toxic rock
#

Loudest fucking movie I’ve ever seen Jesus Christ

toxic rock
#

was i supposed to know that one of the main characters in this movie was the fucking wolf from puss in boots

#

i was like "that guy was really good but i don't think i've seen him before. what else was he in" and then i got slapped in the face

candid furnace
#

Lol fr I only just realized that too

#

I recognized him from Narcos

winged gate
#

I found that out also, I was like "hey this guys pretty rad"

candid furnace
#

I remember a lot of fancasts for him for Joel in Last of Us

winged gate
#

Yep

#

Yeah I can see it

#

The acting in this is top notch for sure

candid furnace
#

Guess Narcos actors really fit the bill

#

It was him, Pascal and the guy who played Jamie Lannister I always saw

winged gate
#

Nah I can't se Jamie as Joel

#

I just see him as Jamie

#

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is his name

candid furnace
#

Tbh I actually did like that fancast but Pedro or Wagner would have been my number 1 and 2 choices always

winged gate
#

I ain't gonna even pretend I know how to say ANY part of that

candid furnace
winged gate
#

I copy and pasted LOL

#

This tweet has me convinced that media literacy might actually be dead

#

Also the mislead from the trailer made this reveal way more impactful imo

candid furnace
pale turret
#

Also the character is way more interesting this way because we don’t even know what side he’s on

#

He’s just a racist asshole abusing his power and the situation of the war

candid furnace
#

If you thought media literacy was dead from that tweet, read the replies

#

People are FURIOUS this movie didnt say “you’re personal side is the good guys and the other side are crazy psycho fascists”

#

Honestly other than Dune 2, this is like, the best movie of the year so far, and I dont see it being beaten by much

pale turret
#

Like not only is the perspective from war journalists, who are supposed to take an objective perspective, but I think it also makes the violence a lot more potent and effective

#

It pushes the senselessness of the violence imo

candid furnace
#

Also like, the president disbanded the FBI, stole a term, led airstrikes against citizens and was a literal textbook definition fascist. What else did they really need to say to make it clear he’s a bad guy that goes far beyond “blue or red”
