I watched the 2024 movie, Civil War. And while I enjoyed it, I didn't like it.
I thought that it was unsure of what it wanted to be. Yes, the action set pieces were very well choreographed, but it was apparent that director Alex Garland set out to make a serious film.
OK, a serious movie about a US civil war. Perfect timing. So what is the movie trying to say? What n̶e̶w̶ angle is it bringing to the debate?
None, as far as I could tell.
And that's disappointing.
