What the fukk was the deal with the Spanish lady? She was in a panic like people were after her...
If the US falls anytime soon, it will most definitely come from within.
For the most part I liked this. Ending wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I like my movies open-ended and not everything force fed to me. However, I do feel like they should've been a tad more specific in how the country was falling apart. A foreign adversary wouldn't be able to hit like that and a domestic enemy wouldn't want to make the country uninhabitable. I think it could've been better implied we destroyed ourselves...but then all of the characters wouldn't have been so clueless to what was going on.
In general, I loved the tone. These tone movies stick with me for awhile.

I think part of the appeal is that we experience it from the characters POV. Like they said, part of is isolation, enmies become friends and friends become enemies, chaos and confusion. Thats what the movie felt like for awhile, we were clueless and helpless like the main cast
Barack and Michelle executive produced this
5/10 though

A Pound & A Prayer
The Mrs and I watched this last night and we really enjoyed this (I hated the ending though). Mahershala Ali, Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke acted their asses off and the writing to make these characters represent certain archetypes was done really well.
At times, the film did stop to drive a message home but it wasn’t overly preachy. I know they explained why the animals were acting crazy but that deer scene was weird and I didn’t really understand it. The pacing was good though because I normally struggle with longer films but I was hooked the whole time.
I’ll probably watch it again to catch everything because there was a lot going on with the sets/artwork in the back as the film was progressing.
Side note, am I the only one that found it funny that the Obamas would EP a film with messaging like this

I like she said the son was a level 2 perv (level 1 doesn't take pictures). How long has she been letting dudes take pictures?Idk but them nipples was
Mahershala let it slide because of his LONG range plans of effing the mom
I loved the movie besides the ending.
But it left me with a fukked up feeling in the pit of my stomach, still got it. I’ll probably come back to this thread to talk about it more but yeah really good performances.

The movie will piss you off when you get to the lackluster ending. The cinematography is great and the acting is good. But the build up to the ending is a great let down. Which sucks cause again he builds another great universe. Almost so much of a good universe I hope someone steals it lol. It would have been a dope mini series in my opinion

No one was in control, I get it
Wym?
they gave you all the information you need. Especially with GH saying what he said about the program at the end. You want to actually see it happen?
about the ending:
- you see the chaos in NY(which supports what GH has been saying)
-the girl is at the bunker
-the mom and Ruth are heading there
-Danny told GH and Ethan Hawke to head there. Which GH said thats where they gonna go.
what the fck more do you want?
