War Machine

Bore Machine. The number of times I physically had to roll my eyes just to feel better about watching this... There's a low bar for Netflix sci-fi action films. If you've seen one, you've basically seen them all. Expectedly, this offers nothing new. The story is pure slop. The acting/casting is abysmal, besides maybe Ritchson. The visuals are anything but consistent, and the mystery is nonexistent. I see the comparisons to action sci-fi classics like "Predator" or "War of the Worlds", but even considering the similarities feels ridiculous. Full offence, the only people I see loving this are either 'red-blooded' Americans or immature children...

Jesus man, every time I watch one of these Netflix-Action releases I think, “maybe this time…” - but this time, I can confirm it wasn’t not…

It’s grossly basic, every cog is working at its absolute lowest level; cheesy-military dialogue, foul visual effects, bad acting - I could go on. There’s a chase sequence toward the end which was simply one of the ugliest, incomprehensible, CGI vomits of a scene I’ve ever witnessed put to screen.

Alan Ritchson has his niche, it’s not a good one, but it’s his. Everything I’ve seen him in has been so one-dimensional and cringe. Esai Morales is here… same for Dennis Quaid - although this all seems pretty on brand for him these days, even if we were teased with a glimmer of hope with The Substance.

Most of all this feels like an insult to the Rangers; 80% of the FINAL STAGE RECRUITS were the biggest, dumbest, blubbering idiots I’ve seen, there’s no way they were even nearly capable to be remotely considered. One of the worst of the year so far, and I’d imagine it will stay that way too.

EPIC 😮‍💨 Alan Ritchson back at it again with some more Reacher vibes except this time against a threat even more wild and unknown. I loved so much about this, but mostly how it starts one way and then just takes a turn for the worst as things just keep getting more and more nuts. He’s on the path to be one of the greats in the action genre, hoping he continues to get great roles like this that allow him to be a man’s man but also show the emotional side. Highly recommend 🤙🏻

Didn’t give much away at all about the movie itself, trust me, the less you know about this the more you’ll like it 👏🏻

Acceptable.

I appreciate the story as it felt somewhat fresh to the genre but the execution was mid. Story didn’t develop well and most of it was wasted in the first half. Also, rocks, seriously?

Really solid sci-fi movie would recommend if you like war movies

7.5/10 GOOD movie jus hard to watch some scenes😭🥹
