Warfare Movie Thread

The trailer looks good. I do like a good war film.

This looks like something I would enjoy.

Seen this on Wednesday. Definitely a unique experience and a real assault on the senses for as long as it lasts. Very full on and very good, imo.

I thought this was a very decent watch. It's not a traditional war movie. It's a snippet, a brief moment in time glimpse at a war. The movie doesn't get too hung up on the rights and wrongs of the war, but there are hints there.

The Navy Seals here didn't go in all guns blazing and kill everyone at their ease, which is usually the case when you see Navy Seals depicted in movies. I think you only maybe see them strike one or two Iraqis in the whole movie.

The movie did a good job of conveying the effects of concussion and potential brain injury from explosions. A lot of them seemed half out if it at times. It looked to be more realistic than what you'd see in most other movies when explosions go off. The movie didn't focus much on firefights too which was good. It focused more on the confusion of the moment.

As the movie follows a real-time path, the tension builds nicely as well.

This was great. If you like badge cams or war go pro footage, this is the most realistic war movie yet.

A real assault on the senses. It clocks in at just over 90 minutes but feels a lot longer. Obviously, there's no way I could possibly know, but it feels incredibly real. From the moment the bullets start flying and the intricate sound design kicks in, it discombobulates and disorientates in a way that not many war films have managed.

It was not enjoyable per se, but it was an enthralling and immersive experience. Like a 'War is hell' simulator.

 

[Strawberry Man]

Excellent movie, it tells the experience of being present in a terrible situation.

 

[Bad Gizmo]

Great stuff. Very intense, and it felt longer than its runtime.
