We just sat down with Alan Ritchson’s new 2026 Netflix blockbuster War Machine, and while it might not be the "best" sci-fi film ever made, it is a massive step in the right direction for the genre. Basil and Keo break down why this movie actually works, specifically praising the decision to ditch the tired "mechanical roach" alien trope for something visually stunning and genuinely fresh. The action is loud, the explosions are top-tier, and the chemistry on screen makes it a solid watch, even if some parts of the plot feel a little familiar. We’re diving into why this is a high-quality "good" movie that finally treats its audience, and its aliens, with some actual creativity, and why that ending basically demands a sequel.
