      I agree it was lame. weird like there was no
      ups and downs/intense and quiet. it just moved along almost just like a documentary following journalists? with some “hey youngster I’m a journalist this is my advice”.

      the ending just happened at the same pace and the movie ended. where was the movie !! 😡

      I watched it early, just based on the summary thought it would be interesting. wrong.

      if you were disappointed with civil war, and want to watch something similar.

      • Leave the world behind
      • How it ends

      both Netflix exclusives but were better than Civil war imo.

      • timbo83 on 06/11/2024 - 19:53
        +17

        Enjoyed it but for opposite reasons, that it showed the banality of the conflict and indifference shown as to who they were fighting and why. Also disagree about the pace for the ending, that clearly ramped up.

        I could have done without the younger journalist focus but understand what they were going for.

        Will need to check out how it ends as haven’t seen that one yet.

        • harshbdmmaster718 on 06/11/2024 - 21:19

          Also disagree about the pace for the ending, that clearly ramped up.

          I remember the shootouts and some explosions towards the end but didn’t you get the feeling it was very unmovie like? how do you describe it like it just happens in real time and is over before you know it.
          and it’s the way it appeared which was kind of amateur phone footage like?
          I got that vibe from it like they filmed a movie like you would follow with handheld camera like in a documentary? maybe that’s what they were going for to make it feel more “real”.

          Will need to check out how it ends as haven’t seen that one yet.

          yeah without spoiling it they all three share the theme of america under attack by unknown enemy. I watched it not expecting it to be great but it was decent imo.

          • AngusD on 07/11/2024 - 10:03
            +5

            @harshbdmmaster718: I think that's kind of the point. It's following a group of journalists / photographers, who are witnessing these events with that journalistic detached / arms-length perspective even when they're right in the middle of it. They're not taking sides (hence why the movie goes to great lengths to not paint itself as left v right, Democrats v Republicans, red states v blue states etc), they're just documenting what they see.

            That does have the effect of removing the stakes to some extent. When it's not presented to you as one "good" side to root for vs a "bad" side that has to be defeated, it can make it a little disorienting as a movie. The characters' only goal is to get from point A to point B in the hope of getting an interview with the president when they get there. They're not trying to defeat some kind of opponent, just to survive and document what they see along the way. They don't have the ability or even the desire to alter or influence the events around them. A more conventional movie would have been about some of these soldiers on one side or the other (presumably the side that ends up winning), but then that would be a completely different story and a completely different movie from this one.

              @AngusD: Well put. I actually thought this was what made it somewhat unique. It felt authentic, and the violence, depicted with that same non-cinematic, journalistic approach, made it feel more visceral and shocking.

    • Epiuse on 06/11/2024 - 19:28

      If you're expecting it to be about a civil war, especially in the American context, it's a total let-down. Given that's how it was advertised, it was a let-down for me.

      But as a movie about conflict photographers (whether that be Vietnam, Eastern Europe, etc) it's a great movie. It dives into the ethics of it pretty well; how photographers moralise to themselves that their ethical duty isn't to fight on the right side of the war or to provide any aid, but to document it (and get paid/fame).

      A similar movie is The Bang Bang Club, which I recommend despite the bad reviews. If you don't watch the movie, you should at least read about Kevin Carter.

    • Jiv on 07/11/2024 - 09:06

      Sounds like they were aiming for a mocumentary?

      As in, they were re-enacting the likely events that would happen in a modern US civil war, as opposed to making it cinematically dramatic.

    was the predator movie right? it was good.

    • AngusD on 07/11/2024 - 15:25

      I doubt it's that movie, although it would be nice. That's a Disney movie, so I think it's unlikely that they'd let it onto any other streaming services except for Disney+. I suspect it's more likely to be the Ryan Phillippe movie from this year about a plane crash in a game reserve. I guess we can hope for the Predator one, though :D

      • harshbdmmaster718 on 16/11/2024 - 19:53

        it's the predator movie. I think you understimated how much money amazon has. 😂

          So it is!

          More like I underestimated how desperate Disney is after most of their Marvel movies in the past couple of years tanked :P

          Happy, though - means I can watch it again without Disney. Cancelled it ages ago and I'm never going back :P

          • harshbdmmaster718 on 16/11/2024 - 22:42

            @AngusD: yeah i think it won’t be up for long though, maybe 3 to 4 months later it will not be part of prime anymore.

            I’m aware Disney owns the alien franchise now so they must be charging Amazon the $$$$$$ just to license it for a short time to attract customers to prime.

        I had the same reaction. kinda like “this story will show you what the worst case scenario in modern america looks like in a movie” and that wasn’t wrong except imo it was missing a lot of what makes a movie a movie. don’t know how to say it, but the aesthetic and story was so documentary like that it had no appeal and excitement. 💁‍♀️

          • harshbdmmaster718 on 08/11/2024 - 16:31

            @ThithLord: ok. well I guess we agree on one thing I have expressed my dislike for marvel in general. it was awhile ago so yeah basically they throw as many superhero's as they can into one movie and that means each one is like a cardboard cut out with zero explanation for their powers. and usually one of the two powers they have is always that they can randomly fly.

            what's weird about DC/Marvel movies is I read in an article that their main fanbase is males between the ages for 25-40 or something. that's who they are targeting and they love it. notice how the deadpool x wolverine post has a keychain for the picture? they literally market that crap because they know they can sell a bunch of merch that's exclusive to that movie to the fanbase.

        And a little country called Australia.

        Compulsory voting is a far better way to uphold a democracy. Otherwise you get what has happened in the US, where elections really come down to how much the candidates and their backers can spend to persuade people to come out.

        Free society really has nothing to do with it as you are not forced into voting. There is nothing stopping you lodging a blank ballot.

    Well shot, but otherwise hollow film.

    So the main characters are photojournalists, but the film deliberately leaves out one of the five W's of journalism - "Why". Why are they fighting? Who knows and who cares, apparently.

    Furthermore, any desire by the viewer to gain insight into this is shut down by proxy in the film when one of the fighters insults a journalist ("Oh I get it. You're retarded").

      I'm a journalist who studied photography at uni. The actors' impressions of what a war photographer might do were very weird for me. Not that I've actually been one. I'd also have preferred the movie to define what war crimes are, rather than just total abandonment of that concept from both sides and the filmmakers themselves!

    $79 a year prime , so it’s not free and having seen it I’d definitely not sign up to prime to watch.
    The movie itself has the wrong focus and expectations because of the title , civilian news people interactions around a conflict would have been more accurate.

      Yes - but Ozb has long had ways of filtering posts related to subscription additions. So "it's not free" is a bit of a redundant comment. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/513367

    The only show worth watching on Prime is Fallout. Prime is more useful for free delivery. I like to order $2 worth of stuff from Amazon and get free deliveries.

      Fallout was good, but The Expanse and The Boys were also very much worth watching.

        The Boys has turned from satire to stylised documentary now that Homelander will be President

            @beach bum: Lol he would if he could!
            Did you watch the spinoff show Gen V? It was a lot better than I expected.

              @tdth99: I tried , couldn’t get into it before sub ran out.
              I’ll give it a go again if people really recommend it when/if I take up prime sub again.
