Just back from the movie. Surprisingly good!
Felt a weird vibe from it, more to the point, an unease…and still can’t quite place why it bothered me so much. Maybe because it felt more plausible than I expected, or maybe just seeing US landmarks as a backdrop to the strife. Felt like a lot of what I saw in Iraq, but I could read the street signs, LoL.
I guess the best description I can come up with right now is that it felt like a weird mashup between The Watchmen and Platoon, with a little bit of Mad Max sprinkled in. Worth a watch for sure.

Now you need to watch; "Leave the world behind"...
Watched that a month or so ago… Very good, and I’d even say it was great as a pure psychological thriller, but frustrating ending. Very interesting concept though, as if I already didn’t have enough reasons to eschew a fancy new semi-autonomous automobile.

Not as much as I expected, surprisingly enough.
Typical “war is bad” tropes, and frankly, it is, but no left vs. right crap that I picked up on anyway. I was ready to walk out if they started down that path, but they really didn’t go there at all.
In the event of a civil war this will be the enemy. Don't interrupt them when they are making a mistake.
