Civil War Ratings & Reviews
- Zokkiie8 april 2026Really impressive how confident this feels. It doesn’t spoon-feed anything or try to make things neat, and that actually makes it hit harder. There’s a constant tension running through it, and a lot of moments feel uncomfortably real in a way that sticks with you after. Performances are strong across the board, and the whole thing just looks great—clean, raw, and immersive without feeling over-stylized. It knows exactly what tone it’s going for and commits to it. Only downside is it’s way too short. You can feel there’s so much more that could’ve been explored, and honestly I’d love a double-length director’s cut just to stay in that world longer. Still, it’s a really solid watch.
- ayayron5 april 2025One boomer, two millennials and a Gen Zer risking it all for the gram
- Cubane6 april 2026What a mystifying experience. It's like someone put a mission impossible mask of your best friend on someone a foot shorter than them. All the trimmings are there, but it's still very clearly not right. The undisputed star and saving grace of this entire movie is the action, which is clearly well researched and shot properly. Given it comes from Alex Garland, that shouldn't be a surprise. The real shortfall here is the plot. While it teeters on the edge of complete lunacy for the entire runtime, the final battle was so absurd I wanted to walk right out of the theater. The characters are somewhat sympathetic, but I found them too predictable to be worth the time. This is supposed to feel evocative and stirring, but it's a swing and a miss. Yup, civil wars are le bad. Preach to the choir some more, why don't you.
- John Doe29 mars 2026Jurno porn, why did it have to follow some jurno, gayest possible way to have made this movie
- mickerdoo20 mars 2026A perspective shift for Americans. Homegrown violence and the decay of war on our stage. Liked Jessie until the end. Hopefully unrelatable.
- Tanalien2 november 2024Given the movie’s foreboding title, I predicted it would be a timely document about how present-day America fell into a downward spiral, with the story following the new factions growing out of the chaos. While Civil War depicts what happens when the rule of law cracks, writer-director Alex Garland forged this story with a much higher purpose in mind.
- makdelart5 februari 2026This cold, pseudo-documentary record of successive events forms a coherent narrative and a story that is, unfortunately, becoming increasingly relevant.
- brian.ho9327 juli 2025What a stupid aimless movie. If you're wrapped up in the politics of today and of one particular persuasion, you probably like this movie. But it simply isn't very good at all; I suspect it will age like milk.
- Alec McCartney11 januari 2026This was really cool as a look at where the US might be heading and what war journalists really are. Cool film.
- filmaddict00713 maj 2025Civil War is one of the most intense and unforgettable movie experiences in recent years. It grabs you from the first scene and doesn’t let go. The way it handles war feels incredibly real—chaotic, emotional, and disturbing without being over-the-top. It shows the human side of conflict while still keeping the tension high throughout. The acting is phenomenal. Every performance feels grounded and raw, like the actors are actually living through it. These are powerhouse performances that carry the emotional weight of the film and make you feel every moment. One of the biggest standouts is the sound design. The movie is LOUD in the best way possible—gunfire, explosions, even silence—it all hits hard. You feel every shot, every moment of tension, and it makes the whole thing way more immersive. If you’re going to watch Civil War, see it in a theater. Seriously—find the biggest screen and best sound system you can. This is the kind of movie that deserves to be seen and heard properly. It’s intense, it’s gripping, and it sticks with you.
- Sixpax11 maj 2025Too early to classify this as a doco? It's a Vietnam "follow the news reporters" war movie set in a "current" USA. It's not an enjoyable movie, but that is not saying it isn't a good movie.
- jackmeat2 mars 2025My quick rating - 7.0/10. This film grabs us by the shoulders and screams, "If it is a Civil War you want, I'll put it on a giant IMAX screen and dare you to cheer." In the near future, a group of war journalists will attempt to survive while reporting the truth as the United States stands on the brink of civil war. The flick offers a gripping and immersive journey across a dystopian America, following a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach Washington, D.C., before rebel factions descend upon the White House. The movie is marked by great choreography and believable scenes that draw the audience into the chaos and urgency of the situation. The action sequences are well-executed, providing a visceral sense of the danger and unpredictability faced by the characters. The realistic depiction of combat and the stark portrayal of a nation in turmoil make for a compelling viewing experience. The acting is solid throughout, with Kirsten Dunst delivering a standout performance. Her portrayal of a determined and resilient journalist adds depth and believability to the narrative. The ensemble cast complements her well, each bringing their own strengths to their roles and contributing to the film’s overall impact. The story is both timely and thought-provoking, exploring themes of truth, survival, and the ethical complexities faced by those who document war. As the journalists navigate through hostile territories and encounter various factions, the film raises important questions about the role of media in conflict and the personal cost of pursuing the truth. I thought it succeeded in creating a believable and haunting vision of a fractured America. The dystopian setting is convincingly portrayed, and the tension is palpable as the team of journalists pushes forward despite the overwhelming odds. The film’s pacing keeps you interested, balancing intense action with moments of introspection and character development. In conclusion, the flick is a well-crafted and impactful film that combines excellent choreography, strong acting, and a compelling narrative. Dunst shines in her role, and Nick Offerman is great but not used very much. The movie effectively captures the perilous journey of war journalists in a near-future America. It’s a thought-provoking and entertaining watch that leaves a lasting impression. This film will be awarded, there is no doubt. Alex Garland has broken new ground, and his script, actors, and cinematography deserve all the accolades they get.
- Robot Monster28 december 2025The action in this film is outstanding, and while there aren't classic battles, per se, the violence is incredibly tense. It was a feat to avoid succumbing to the current partisan politics, even if the scenario was a little unbelievable, which ended up being others' chief complaint. This film is about the the role that war correspondents play and the impossibility of being protected just because of their decision to not take sides. Wars are full of psychopaths who just don't care.
- SoranIsOn19 december 2025meh not what you thought it was going to be, its just a road trip movie through america where some bad stuff is going down. It's not even really much of a movie. Tries to be shocking and falls very flat.
- Scott Smith8 februari 2025This movie was made as a cautionary tale after the first Trump administration...that we barely made it out of. Now with a second and more damaging Trump term, it's looking more prophetic than ever. I hope we get the same ending. Bang!
