Atom User Reviews for Civil War
This tells us what will happen if Trump wins or looses the election
Movie wasn't what I expected. No explanation on why there is a Civil War. Don't know who is who. Movie was about a group of photographers, more than anything. It had a non-realistic story line except for the ending, when the main character / photographer gets screwed over. This review is coming from a photographer. I tried to give A24 another chance, but the majority of their movies are horrible.
Need to see it in a theater to get the full immersion. Will definitely make you hope we as a nation never descend into that.
Good idea, bad execution. Minimal character development and was underwhelming compared to what the trailer portrayed it to be
People wake up This is where we are heading
It was a great movie….it makes you think. The director did a great job. You should check out some of his other work.
Marvel's Studios version was wayyyy better.
Literally one of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen. Save your cash.
Trailer for movie is misleading. Its not the movie I went to see
A movie that everybody really needs to see and consider where we stand as a country are.
As a war veteran, this. hits. HARD! it can happen but for those who don't face reality, you'll never understand. War. is. HELL. People die. The beginning hit really close to home. Great visual and sound effects. Learn from history or else it'll repeat itself!
I’ve never heard so many people snoring in a movie before.
WACK MOVIE WITH AN UNCLEAR PLOT.
Best movie of the year!
Trailer is deceiving, not the movie it portrayed. Awful plot. Pointless agenda with no background info other than journalism is challenging. Oh yeah…. and the music didn’t fit the scene(s).
boring
1 hour and 45 minutes to watch the press follow around the so called Civil War without getting an actual backstory. Come on guys, give the fans more of a backstory.
Trash movie
The movies is very slow with little to no action. The best part was the last 20 minutes and best I say very loosely. 👎
This movie was action packed from the start. one of the best movies I've seen in a very very long time. This was way worth the watch.
very slow with only 20 minutes of action at the very end. The entire movie is dialogue between reporters who say they work for "what's left of the New York Times" For such a great movie title, it was a let down. Not worth it to see in the theatre.
excellent movie that the country needs. big thanks for the actors and director.
Vague and generic storyline, after all the hype.
…not what you expect.
The trailer baits you into thinking it’s a good movie
Not at all what I expected, and yet it was a lot better than I expected. I really thought this was going to be some cheesy Red Dawn style movie. I was on the edge of my seat with the story and also enjoyed the great visual effects.
Eh
gross
If you go in to see a war movie like red dawn, you’re going to be disappointed. However, the movie is very good
Not realistic
it was ok, slow at the beginning, but it did get better by the end.
A24 is a hit or miss on films. This was ok.
Disappointing. No background on the story and horrendous music choice
Amazing yet terrifying movie! Sound and picture are superb! It was haunting, terrifying and a must watch! Definitely recommend!
Bad ending
Kinda hard to follow who was who sometimes, but an interesting storyline
Mid
The movie had no story line on why there was a civil war and why states had succeeded. It was not at all what I expected. The movie was just about photojournalists and had nothing to due with a civil war except they were photographing it.
Not what you will expect from the trailer. No full storylines but overall a okay movie, very realistic insome sense. Also showed us what happened when the country had no law/order
wished it were longer
Horrible, waste of my time
Waste of money
Extremely disappointed, no plot & mirrored after the true life 1/6/22 insurrection !! Waste of money for all those studios procing & backing this film!! I don't mind spending $20 to see movies but this wasn't worth my money & time also a waste to put it in an Imax theater!!
Boring. First movie I walked out on.
Poorly written, meandering plot fails to capture the attention or tell a story. This movie is a waste of two hours
For anyone whining about the lack of storyline, just shut up already. THIS IS NOT A MARVEL UNIVERSE. it's a movie about how insane and confusing war is, and that if it happened here, we would all be pissing ourselves with mortal terror. The film celebrates the courage of journalists. If you want GI Joe, stay home.
Violence was over the top
Quite a disappointing movie to say the least. There were only a less than a handful of suspenseful moments but that’s all you get. If anti-climatic is what you’re looking for, this is a must-watch for you, as the ending was an anti-climatic disaster.
The latest and greatest film by Alex Garland, an absolute MUST SEE
it was okay, it mad no sense from a political stand point.
Metacritic
It’s sometimes riveting, almost wrenching at others and kind of depressing. And it generally succeeds in its main mission, de-romanticizing “civil war” and “secession,” words that the glib, the rural, old-enough-to-know-better low-information voter types and their leaders throw around.

Civil War moves in ways you’d forgotten films of this scale could – with compassion for its lead characters and a dark, prowling intellect, and yet a simultaneous total commitment to thrilling the audience at every single moment.

It isn’t what those people will think it is. It’s something better, more timely, and more thrilling — a thoroughly engaging war drama that’s more about people than about politics.
