Warfare Ratings & Reviews
- necklesswonder2d agoContinuity is important. Seals are not entry level soldiers. Yet this is nothing but apparently early 20s soldiers. There are no senior NCOs and the captain was cast using an actor that looks to be about 22 years old. Give me a break. Add to that, you have the opening scene in the Green Zone with all of the soldiers geared up for combat, flush with weaponry, night vision, and gear! When combat starts, they stand there like deer in headlights. The medic can't stabilize a wound and nobody appears to understand how to secure their position! It is utterly ridiculous. Fantasy war scenario dreamed up by a studio. Next time, include a set advisor that has actual combat experience - and actually follow his advice. It seems you finally did once the second combat team arrived. And while it's understandable that these actions aren't taken post IED, due to the TBIs and other injuries, there is no excuse for the lack of portrayal of standard operating procedures in combat, to give some basic realism to the film before the fireworks begin.
- COCOMarch 14, 2025One of the most intense movies I’ve watched all year. A visceral 90-minute war drama that drops you behind enemy lines in the middle of the gory action. The silence throughout the first 15-minutes alone is enough to build up some dramatic tension that kept me at the edge of my seat throughout. It’s incredibly immersive and raw with its approach. There’s no score but the sound design is absolutely insane, watch it in the loudest theater possible.
- Chris CurtisApril 11, 2025Intense. Visceral. Unflinching. All the adjectives you've heard about this film are true. Far from your typical Hollywood "recruitment" war film, 'Warfare' is a sobering, heart-pounding look at the effects of modern, well, warfare. The first act is almost eerily quiet, serving as a stark counterpoint to the chaotic battle set to begin. Once it starts, though, there is no pause in what unfolds in the largely real-time depiction. Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland have created a truly incredible movie based on the memories of the soldiers who were present for this battle. This film deserves to be seen on the biggest screen—and loudest theater—you can find.
- rojo.b6d agowell shot, acted, and produced war flick feels documentary adjacent.
- rk190810July 25, 2025difficult to not notice a typical netflix/prime budget canvas. forces you to admit all happening in one room one street or just in your imagniations. Lost patient, tried fast forward several times but nothing really changes or happens. Seems like all high rating are for the real incident and to real soldiers. Sorry this is the review of a movie like anyother movie.
- RipLinesManApril 20, 2025Warfare and Event Horizon (1997) both begin with missions — controlled, tactical, professional — and end with men undone by the environments that devour them. One is grounded in the chaos of 2006 Ramadi, the other drifts in the black void of space. But both ask the same question: what happens when the mission becomes survival, and survival isn’t guaranteed? Warfare unfolds in real time, as a Navy SEAL team takes over a building and finds themselves pinned down and cut off. Will Poulter brings raw tension as Erik, the Officer in Charge losing grip by the minute. Joseph Quinn gives Sam a layered weariness, quietly powerful in the film’s most harrowing moments. Cosmo Jarvis as Elliott Miller is visceral and vulnerable — the kind of performance that says everything with almost no dialogue. Charles Melton, Michael Gandolfini, and Finn Bennett add weight and realism to a cast that feels as battered and bruised as the setting demands. In Event Horizon, Laurence Fishburne’s Captain Miller is a man built for order — a leader who watches his training dissolve into fear. Sam Neill’s Dr. Weir descends into madness with elegance, becoming something more dangerous than the ship itself. Kathleen Quinlan’s Peters, Jason Isaacs’ D.J., and Richard T. Jones’ Cooper each face their own reckoning as reality fractures around them. It’s not the void that breaks them — it’s what they brought with them. Both films hinge on the collapse of structure. Orders become pleas. Extraction becomes fantasy. And what remains is silence, injury, and the unsettling knowledge that not everyone who lives gets out clean. Warfare ends with a dust-covered retreat. Event Horizon ends in psychological ruin. But both leave the same imprint: something happened to these men that no report could ever explain.
- Mikey SmithMay 5, 2025The craziest, purest, and most raw war movie I’ve ever seen. No big story, no main character just a bunch of dudes fighting together to stay alive. I really loved this approach. It took the Hollywood emotional and cliche war movie tropes and threw them out the window. It’s all about the soldiers in that building for an hour and a half. The sound design, set design, and wardrobe was all outstanding. It all felt lived in and authentic. The acting was phenomenal. Nothing too flashy, just I don’t know, it felt real! Also almost sh*t my pants when that IED went off. Great film. 4/5.

- WerusiaJuly 18, 2025Good movie for young men to watch when we are on the brink of ww3, really gives you a taste of what you are in for.
- IAmNoLJune 5, 2025It provides a truly detailed picture of what things are like today — how communication flows back and forth, transparently and efficiently, without anyone trying to play the hero.
