Sean gives his initial thoughts to Alex Garland's Civil War (2024).

Discussion Points:

-Sean was reminded of The Road (2009) and Nightcrawler (2014), with the intent of this film.

-Typical American understatement. 

-Whether this film felt futuristic or not.

-The strange sense of normality that people still adhere to, in the midst of a civil war.

-Sean goes on tangent about Tesco.

-The strange way they marketed the film.

-How unexpectedly dark and gritty this film is.

-America and foreign intervention.

-The film's lack of answers or things to say.

Raised Questions:

-Did the marketing harm this film?

-Where has Kirsten Dunst been?

-Did the vague reasons for the war work for you?

-Do you like a thought-provoking film?

-Did you enjoy the "fantastically-at-odds with the horror" music choices?

-Do you think the film fully-commits to the horror?
