Atom User Reviews for The First Purge
Save your money. Very predictable. Nothing original at all. Coming from a moviegoer.
After reading many reviews, I believe those who were offended by the movie have a guilty conscience. Let’s be honest, if this were to happen... this is exactly what would happen. Pay attention outside your comfort zone and you’ll see the reality in which we live in.
Great flick, dealing with current and recurring issues in our country.
Lil truth to this I think... be prepared for trump to create a real purge
Didn’t live up the hype. Started too slow. Not captivating.
Great Movie but why come in black areas to kill us off.. Makes you think
honestly very boring, save your money!
Dont like how the persuade black people to be. We nothing like this movie .
I seen it tonight and I say it's must see and I would see it again
Ok movie but really predictable. No surprise.
Compared to the first one this one is terrible and incredibly divisive.
I believe that it’s a movie to really pay attention to in every aspect.
TRASH
Exceptional Purge film. Awesome action and compelling ideas. Worth checking out.
A movie where the drug dealers are the heroes because they are killing white people that want to kill black and lower income latin people. Very bad subliminal message.
First two are better !
Pretty lame , predictable story... disapppiintef
one time watch.predictable ending.
Seen all the purges in theatres it's a tradition
this movie went on the topic of racial tension in the U.S, how divided our supposed melting pot country is in reality. Somewhat predictable but still heart felt and real! Loved it !!
We enjoyed the movie. It so closely resembled the society we live in today and it's sad. It makes a good point in the typical "purge" fashion. Now we know how it all started.
The movie gave us a look at how if the purge was an actual event how people would react colorful and intense even though the story did drag on in the begging of the movie
Message beyond the war is powerful if you pay attention #StayWokeBruh
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That junk was crazy, wakanda forever
Not that great, a lot of racism
Should have went to see equalizer 2 or even the incredibles 2 . Not worth seeing in the movies or even on tv. Wish I can get a refund.
Nothing like the previous Purge movies. Story line is completely different. This purge is all political and racial plot lines. Hardly a horror movie at all
The movie was very realistic with the current events happening today. I recommend everyone to go see it and peep the message it’s saying.
Still doesn't beat the original, but definitely a decent movie.
Kind of pissed me ofg
A LOT better than I expected. I didn't like the first two but this one was good.
honestly stupid only one good scene. just stick to the first 3.
Intellectually insulting to the target audience, riddled with cliches, suggestive stereotypes acting as an agent of chaos, in effort to cause incident, for a implementation of a sinister agenda. The production company is literally telling you what they want to happen, more so, how it will happen based on “their” idea of its audience intellectual capacity . “This is what we’re going to do, and how we’re going to do it, but you’re to stupid to prepare a defense for it.”
Ok for a purge franchise
Best of the purge movies, that isn’t saying much. Some relevant political themes for those interested. It’s predictable, but the characters make this enjoyable.
This movie was terrible. Very insensitive to the social issues occurring in the U.S. Today. Didn’t pay money to see minorities killed.
it was ok
Not good at all, coming from a purge lover. Left theater early. Went home watched purge election year😍
#purge
Not good at all
Kinda predictable but I still think it's worth seeing.
Not what I was expecting
Too racist
Racist bull, made the “white man” evil. And overall just unbelievable and dumb.
i wish i could give it zero stars. absolutely terrible & a waste of time.
A great insight on how this franchise started.
The movie was amazing the concession stand was not good. I don’t think using the atoms app for faster service is worth it. People that were in line received service before me. Staff ignored me as I waited at the atoms station and no one helped me until I demanded to see a supervisor
This was way better than all the previous Purge movies combined!!
typical Hollywood left wing propaganda ... they keep putting out crap like this and wonder why they're losing money
Metacritic
Wringing genre thrills from headline atrocities, The First Purge is at once crass and provocative in its timeliness—in Blumhouse’s toolshed, it’s the sledgehammer to Get Out’s scalpel.
The First Purge becomes a call to arms so to speak (sometimes to its detriment) — a reminder that we must stand up and for each other at the voting booths and in our communities now so we won’t need the civil war of Election Year.
It’s not difficult to decipher where McMurray and DeMonaco’s true allegiances are, but by delivering the story within the framework of genre cinema at its most trashy and garish, the filmmakers convey any message as a bit of rough pleasure amid the kicks and thrills of a movie.
