A hundred minutes into writer, director Alex Garland’s Civil War, I was hit with a wild case of déjà vu. Since the movie wasn’t engaging, I had plenty of head space to explore this feeling. What is this? Where is this déjà vu coming from? Maybe it has nothing to do with the movie. Maybe this is how everyone feels after eating a bag of licorice purchased at Big Lots?
Then it hit me.
This is the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen.
I mean, Civil War is dumb—as in first-draft dumb. Garland directed exactly one good movie — Ex Machina — followed by two flops. So, it’s beyond me that no one told him how much work his script still needed.
Anyway, so I’m sitting there wondering why Civil War felt so familiar, and then it hit me—Elysium! The dumb in Elysium (2013). Remember how all that dumb rained down like hailstones the size of car batteries? Oh, yes, I’d been here before—a sweaty, desperate, left-wing wankathon undermined by smug plot holes that scream: This will hit so many left-wing sweet spots, there’s no reason to bother with logic or reality.
First things first…
The entertainment media, filmmakers, and stars are all lying to you (big surprise). The idea Civil War is not partisan is nothing less than a cinematic-roofie slipped into a publicity campaign so the Beautiful People can sit back and laugh, knowing the opening minutes bend us Trumptards right over the seats. Civil War opens with the Evil White President with the Great Hair and Red Tie using this cadence to spread a lie: “Some are already calling it the greatest victory in the history of military campaigns.”
To expose how dumb this movie is, I have to spoil the whole plot. You’ve been warned…

I consider it Sci-Fi, Texas would never side with Kalifornia
“Red State” hit every stereotype button there was to push.....................
One reporter asks, “Mr. President, do you regret the use of airstrikes against the country?”
In my memory, only Biden has said he would use airstrikes against Americans.
Didn't think so. Hard pass.
When I heard the description on Clay and Buck, I thought this is nothing but democrat propaganda bringing up Jan 6 again.
I would think that Clay and Buck would be smarter than this.
They are hawking this piece of junk.
3 of them get shot, so there’s that..................
If this is the leftist head-fantasy about how they perceive a potential second civil war playing out, I feel like they’ll be fairly surprised if and when it kicks off in earnest.
What I can’t figure out is why Buck Sexton and Clay Travis are heavily helping to promote this thing.
I believe that is their attempt to make it appear to have no political angle.
Which is likely complete, Grade A bull shiite.
I think Offerman wants to have big hairy bear sex with Alex Garland, like he did in The Last of Us.
Thoroughly disgusting.
Too bad. I liked him in Parks and Rec.
haven’t heard of that one. So it’s liberal talking point movie?
A solid majority of female actors prefer Actor.
The job is Acting, and they choose to call themselves Actors.
A lot of women apparently feel diminished if they are referred to as an Actress.
It was clear to me all along that this was going to be a leftist dud that is best avoided.
It is soooo bad it’s funny in it’s stereotyping characters.
The gist of the movies is: Religious right-wing gun nuts kill innocent people and are in turn massacred by the FBI, even the hostages, and then lie to Congress to cover it all up.............Like Waco....................
Yes, but they'll eagerly put their hands out to receive "BEST ACTRESS" awards. So which is it?
The ability to play a character has no relationship with intelligence. Actors and actresses have made this abundantly clear
ah, more crap spackle from the butt of some lib with derangement.
Seriously.... they couldnt get anyone noatable to take part in this nonsense and God knows there are alot of A list Trump hatin asswipes out there looking for work.
Someone really should make a movie about the stealing of the 2020 election. So many moving pieces, so many locations ,so much late night drama....lol
