A24 on a war movie spree... would not have anticipated that a few years ago
They’ve made them for a while. They made The Kill Team in 2018(iirc) which was really solid and had a great performance from Nat Wolff & Alex Skarsgard
Civil War was awful
@dizgroontled I thought it was great.
@dizgroontled Plot was not great but visually and sound wise was excelent, effects too
@daniell3471effects and sound were lacking from a realistic perspective but the plot was kinda cool I guess
Smart to say, "This movie is based on memory"
"I was high when I wrote the script"
@sirhoopalot1 SEALs 🤷🏿♂️
@sirhoopalot1😂😂😂😂😂
It’s from people who were there
@MrGleeiscool i get what you mean, but these days seems like every SEAL is calling out another one for how something went down. Too many of them wrote books "based on a true story" that have been proven otherwise. It's a smart move on his part, if it's written from memory and a singular perspective, nobody should be able to call it out
Will Poulter went from that funny looking guy from "We're the Millers" to this. Now that's a good actor.
Eyebrows!
Narnia 😂
The Bear
Guardians 3
He's actually a great actor. Adaptable to many roles and genres. Check out his work
This movie should be required viewing for every politician in any public office in any capacity. While we're at it, make watching this part of the voter registration process.
They wouldn't care.
Saw it yesterday in IMAX early access. It's not what you think it will be. If you have a history of PTSD, please reconsider. Warfare is chaos. It would make anyone reconsider joining the military.
it's so fucking good but DAMN it's so INTENSE! I've never seen anything like it
Dude literally. I was sweating the entire time.
My hands were SO sweaty
I have PTSD from my OIF deployment in 2003. I was considering going to see this by my gut was telling me maybe not. Your comment is making me think I wait to stream it instead so I can stop it if need be.
holy shit i have tickets for tonight and im so excited and scared, have veterans in the family I invited.......
Came for film trailer, leaving with PTSD.
Thank you A24
You can have mine if you want it
😂😂😂good shit brother , welcome to the club…
my thoughts exactly 👍
haha fr bro just after watching the trailer, i feel like was fighting in the actual movie 😂
Samsies. I knew I shouldn’t have watched it.
British actors are so good at playing American soldiers, idk why!
A good chunk of British actors play other roles as well in Hollywood movies
Because they're better actor's I guess.
Can't lie, as a brit we are pretty good at acting as other nationalities.
Not always
@RG0899 Dont kid yourself buddy
weapons of mass destruction getting ptsd
damn
MIDDLE OF WAR.
Soldier: - I have 2 magazines left for my pistol and 1 for my rifle.
Kenny: - You guys are getting guns?
lmao
lololol I was wondering why he looked so freaking familiar!
Omfg I ain’t even realize til I read this 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 0:17
As the adage goes:
“When you’re short on everything but the enemy, you’re in combat.”
These movies seem to pop up every time army is low on recruitment.
We need some combat deployments, not movies
Can you blame young white men for not wanting to fight for this country?
I don't mind them making movies about us. It's better than a movie about you.
@Mostlethalrather have them make movies on interesting people and not the same ole army
@Mostlethal ouch struck a nerve
This movie was way too realistic compared to other war movies, genuinely was shaken up after the movie. Especially with my past experiences, 10/10.
no, just woke propaganda for people who despise America but still won't leave.
Yea, past experience of being involved in something where u don't belong.
@CGMedia2023 Explain how the movie was woke in detail
The gunshot audio in theaters was so top tier. Congrats to the audio engineers. This movie was awesome I HIGHLY recommend watching it in theaters. One thing id like to say is that the trailer reveals a big chunk of the movie
I'd say almost realistic. Realistic and without ear plugs just doing that blows out your ear drums so you have to scream at each other for the rest of the movie. I'm fine with cutting down on the realism just a notch or two to get around that. War in reality is just unbelievably noisy. I can imagine that part to a certain extent.
As an Iraq War veteran that served in Baghdad, I can confirm that this movie is intense. My father, an 82 year old Vietnam veteran, even had to turn down his hearing aids. My mother walked out. It's not for the faint of heart, but I want to encourage everyone who can handle it to go see it. The portrayal of modern combat is beyond realistic.
I’m from Br and very anxious to watch this movie, i can’t understand why people are criticizing this, can you explain for me?
@Miguelgoissssit’s and accurate depiction of a iraq operation gone wrong. People don’t like the movie because it takes place during the iraq war in which America had no reason to be their
لقد قتلتم الابرياء وتحولون اثبات انكم مظلومون لكم يوم
So your a war maniac who thinks murdering innocent people abroad is a heroic and courageous act when in fact it's despicable, dishonourable and you should be charged for war crimes. You disgust me
This isn't really modern combat though, even the cartels use FPV drones now. Modern combat is way scarier than this, unfortunately.
A24 got that pentagon money I see.
I wonder if they'll have balls to do a story on all these mercenaries blowing up teslas at rumptower or is that Netflix territory.
Npc
Does not look like it. Otherwise they would be using real vehicles and not CGI. I wonder if it's an indication of the political stance the movie will be taking, as the only requirement for DoD to lend vehicles for a movie is to not criticize the army in the movie.
@hikeskool Nope, the army will do it for free, but they will rent old stuff that they don't use. This is why almost all of the Iraq movies have main characters driving in Humvee's despite the fact that basically any convoy in Iraq had Mraps, Strykers or Bradleys (at least early on).
It's similar with other vehicles. When it's obvious a mission in the movie would require more air support or modern helicopters, older equipment is being used, as it's only one that US army can spare for filming.
So, if the movie is relatively low budget, and there is low quality CGI vehicles, it's likely why no real vehicles were used. Examples are Sicario, Civil War, "Apocalyspe Now" used vehicles from the Philippines, The Hurt Locker, which basically has no vehicles at all, except a M113 and few Humvee, Lord of War and a bunch more.
zionists trying their best to lure USA to another useless war
Brought to you by Weapons of Mass Destruction that never existed.
Only fools think our adversaries don't have WMD's.. lies or not, underestimating your opponent is the quickest way to lose
Thank Israel
Watch them absolutely downplay the warcrimes US were part of in Iraq and watch them downplay the horrors they put the Iraqi people through, and then switch this into a PTSD sob story for veterans who were ordered to go into a foreign country and destabilize it. Any veteran with integrity would denounce what the US did in Iraq. You can see in 1:54 they try portray the US soldiers as protecting Iraqi civilians, pathetic. See what I mean? And then they'll show the Arab fighters as bad and careless to their people. Search up the Haditha Massacre yall. One of the many. Learn the truth.
@vladvladimirov4399For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures
1 Corinthians 15:3
mate our military industrial complex stocks went through the roof thanks to Iraq + Afghanistan. thank you for your service [on behalf of the shareholders]
I walked out, right after the first IED hit and the squad had to collapse back into the building. I wasn't a Seal, i was a Sergeant Major in the Dutch Army, stationed in Uruzgan, Afghanistan. And i have seen war. I lived it, every time we went out of the gate. Every TIC, IED, VBIED, suicide bomber, is still what keeps me awake at night. So i walked out of the theatre. Not because i thought the movie sucked, but because it triggered a response, inside of me, i did not want people in the theatre to see. And even now, i'm crying, because of the men i lost, the wounded, forever scarred by war. I will return to the movie, but at home, where i am safe.
So incredibly sorry for your loss. Thank you sincerely for your service. ❤
What were you doing in Afghanistan anyway
@2009-rvq Remember 9/11? The US acted on article 5 of NATO, which states, if a NATO member is attacked, all of NATO is attacked. We answered the call.
I can't thank you enough for what you did. You made it back. Take care of yourself-and any other vet who's suffering.
@LindasGamingCorner Thank you for your honesty and reminder of the brutality and lingering trauma. My best wishes for you to someday not be afflicted by the torment of those memories and to find peace.
I wonder if they'll find weapons of mass destruction in this movie.
Legends tell us that Bush is still looking for them
@alessandramaria00out there with a magnifying glass
@user-dm8kz8ul8h
And *Combing* the dessert.
I hear tell, he ain't found sh*t.
I mean… Netanyahu said they had them. He also said he’s letting proper aid in to Gaza so he’s surely reliable!
Cuz they sure didn’t find them in Iraq.
If anyone is confused, Ray Mendoza was the military technical advisor on the Alex garland movie “civil war” hes the operator that says “break out break out” and throws chem lights on the ground during the CQB scene in the white house and hes the sniper (with mustache) in this biopic
So, is there anything worth knowing about him?
I loved Civil War. I am really looking forward to this one.
@carbonsnail014 oh definitely man, this movie however will actually give insight on the man himself, if anything, the execution of this isnt like any typical war biopic too, so you will definitely see his accolades play out 💯
@EerieV23 dude same here, Ray Mendoza story is quite interesting tbh
@carbonsnail014He’s another SEAL who can’t keep his mouth shut 🤷🏻♂️ Not much else.
Just watched this yesterday. Incredible, haunting movie. I saw another comment here saying you should reconsider watching this movie if you have PTSD. I would agree. This is not a movie that will have you leaving feeling good. I left this movie and was in a bad mood for the rest of the day, but only because of the impact the movie had on me.
The mine scene got me yiking
@yow_nate5126 I doubt I can see this movie...I am weeping just from watching the trailer...So, I'm out, looks like a great movie but it is a movie I am unable to see. Good luck to everyone...
@nickolausfrey7307 In my mind I wrap my arms around you.
Ditto, I drove home with PTSD!
@ ik right ? 😭😭😭
This should win an oscar for best Sound Mixing and editing because omg
Cosmo Jarvis was INSANE in Calm with Horses. Such an underrated actor.
And in shogan. He's a great musician too
In Shogun his perfomance was terrible on my opinion
@TOFIKSIZEPIK228I think that the scene in which Blackthorne is trying not to cry shows that he's talented but the creators tried to subvert the white savior narrative but accidentally made the character passive.
@TOFIKSIZEPIK228 In fairness he had to say I SEEK SAFE PASSAGE FOR ME AND MY MEN about a billion times
At this point I don't think anyone on the internet knows what the word underrated means.
This is the most accurate war film I've ever seen. At the beginning I was giddy ready for an action flick, but by the end of it I was watching it as more of a documentary. Almost like it was filmed during the events. Everything was flawless. It really took me back. The uniforms, the way people behave under stress in combat, the SOPs, the lingo, the behavior, the little details like gear accountability, I mean everything was depicted just like real life. There was no soundtrack. There was no clear cut story. It was just an op gone wrong from start to finish. No nonsense or filler. This is not Blackhawk Down. This is not Saving Private Ryan. This is a very methodical movie that portrays how combat occurred during the GWOT down to the very minute details.
Honestly this movie probably won't win any awards, but if you're interested in seeing what the war in Iraq is really like, go see this film. It's solid. I give it a solid 10/10. If you're a vet, go see this if you can handle it. This is a movie by vets for vets.
Sets a new standard for me in terms of sound design. The way the guns sounded real, not just LOUD. I love how they used the different radio channels to imply PoV - you're hearing what the person you're 'riding along with' would have been hearing at that moment. Incredibly well done.
Seems like it makes a big difference having a vet who was actually there co direct and write this movie. Can’t wait to see it!
Just saw this and I couldn't agree more with your comment. Always growing up hearing war stories from service members and older gents from the Korean war I had the honor of speaking with, it really brings to the forefront how ACTUAL war is. You panic (it's an uncontrollable response), you freeze, and you may hesitate when explosions and gunfire are so close to you that your brain and body don't know what to do even for trained people that know what they are about to get into. It's unreal how this film depicts what I can only imagine actual war is like. It's very fucking ugly and inhuman but it gave me so much more respect for war veterans that come back home and even more for those that never come back. The lack of soundtrack and focus on environmental sounds and pain other soldiers are going through really puts you in the moment and gives you a slight glimpse as to what those Men went through.
I 100% agree. You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I was getting flashbacks just watching it. I saw it in the Dolby Cinema where you're literally surrounded by speakers so that added to the overall experience and I actually jumped during the IED scene. The speakers in and around my seat gave me an "Oh shit" kinda feel when the explosion happened which is exactly what it's like to experience it. All in all I hope it gets the recognition that it deserves and is a box office success. It should definitely turn a profit given that the budget doesn't appear to be that much. Lastly, I hope Eric Prydz is grateful for the spike in views and streams for his song Call on Me because I pretty much guarantee that the majority of people leaving the theater looked it up afterwards. I did.
@Mr_Porter The IED scene completely threw me off guard. Literally jumped in my seat and I have no army experience. Cant imagine watching that scene as a veteran. Pure adrenaline.
Amazing movie with insane realism.
Navy corpsman Iraq vet here who treated many injured civilian, marines, sailors and unlucky enough to see what the expectant tent is in the Shock Trauma Platoon. I will probably have strong feelings watching this movie. But thank you for making it. Many people have forgotten why today veterans still have mental issues. We need to protect our veteran healthcare.
RIP the 7 Seabees from the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Fourteen (NMCB-14) May 2, 2004. Fair winds and following seas.
Semper Fi Devil Doc
I served in NMCB 40. Had the privilege to work with men and women NMCB 25 in Iraq 2006. Then NMCB 14 and 26 in Kuwait 2007/2008. Heard stories of what happened to those who lost in NMCB 14. Could tell how it affected them. NMCB 25 took a few causalities while we were there. Sad situation. Luckily didn’t have anyone killed. We did have a few injured in an IED.
Thanks for your service, Doc. Saw the expectant tent, huh? God have mercy on you, man.
The Iraqis have terrorized you. There are soldiers who returned to America with psychological problems, and some of them committed suicide.
I still dont understand what makes you americans so prou to destroy other peoples lives, this movie shows realy good how americans destroy other lives and play a good guy at the end.
this has to be the best movies. i literally see it everytime whenever i want to feel the pain, and the realism. the best war movie ever. 20 outa 10 dude.
Thank you A24 for keeping Cinema going! 🙏🏼
garry's mod cough 0:46
"Sometimes...I dreeeam about cheese."
Good catch lmao
Gaming to much bro
Huehuehuehue
😮
I love Alex, whenever he says he's done directing, he's actually just working on another amazing project
I don't think people realize how good this movie actually is. I'm not a vet, just someone with a deep interest in cinema, and it felt incredibly real. It suddenly makes you aware of how much action and combat are glorified in movies. It reminded me of Heat (1995). That gunfight is another example; you just want it to stop. It’s not exciting or entertaining to watch; it’s pure pain, trauma, sadness, and hell. Like war. Garland did a great job. I believe this film will have a bigger impact in the future than people expect, not only in terms of filmmaking but also in an educational sense.
This is not just a movie, brother. All the events happened in Iraq and all the innocent people were killed. You can search for this and you will find that everyone died because of the Americans.
I reccomend danger close
I prefer the glorified action 😂.
@Keeloa2006 I hope it shows what really happened. Not some bs propaganda
@chrishansen2100i think thats the intent, no bs propaganda just war is hell
Cosmo Jarvis is becoming one of my favourite actors, he's good in every single role he's done! Shogun, Calm with Horses, Lady Macbeth, you name it! and with Alex Garland directing...I'm so excited to watch this
Alex Garland is not directing
He was fucking awesome in Shogun. Glad he’s getting other roles.
@Ilovemovies263wrong
Should check out his original film called the naughty room. Directed and featured and wrote/produced all the music in it.. really something👊
He first came to my attention in Season 5 of "Peaky Blinders". Just saw him in "The Alto Knights" with Robert DeNiro.
1:16 Wait, you guys are getting a medevac?
Ray Mendoza won a Silver Star for the real life event.
For this, somebody better win an Oscar is all I'm saying.
Sound designers have entered the chat
Yeah, war criminals get medals too.
@billbaggins1688 Can you point to the war crime in this? Bet anything you say isnt actually a warcrime.
Nobody here is winning an Oscar. This isn’t an Oscar bait movie, this is real. An oscar is an insult
@floki_vt Lying to get a war started probably should be.
Radio: Where are you guys
😎: Look for the blood in the smoke😢👍
And that's how you create an epic trailer.
Halo Warthog turret at 1:48
Damn beat me to it lol
Bro.
Nice
kills the immersion
No way 😂
LOL
Kit Connor, Joseph Quinn, Charles Melton, Noah Centineo and Will Poulter in the same movie? WHAT A CASTING 💥
Cosmo Jarvis too. He's criminally underrated actor and musician. He was great in shogan
I don't know ANY of these people!
How dare you leave out Anjin-sama
@jinhunterslay1638 you have some movies and series to watch then
You forgot Michael Gandolfini!?!?!?! 🔥
This was my film of the year for 2025. There was a lot of TOP TIER shit this year but this film just stayed with me.
Getting the kids ready for the adventure in Iran I see
Yes, the Hollywood propaganda machine is a well oiled machine.
Looks like a movie where war looks like it fucking sucks. Don’t know if that would be a very effective recruiting tool.
@Lil.Grandpa oh like you would not believe. american sniper, black hawk down, apocalypse now, the list could go on. movies that tell the audience 'war fucking sucks', but young dumb teenagers sign up anyway. not to mention the movies that make war 'look cool' (top gun maverick to name something recent)
@
I almost joined the Marines in 2004 because of the film Full Metal Jacket. Every war movie ever, has made me want to join the military.
America will enter a war in 2025, they are preparing. The same director directed Civil War as well.
Military ads getting smarter
Absolutely nothing in this trailer should make you think that enlisting is a good idea lmao
Lol, looks more like a anti war film. Its your generic action flick movies where the ex millitary become some kind of super hero that is financed by the millitary lol.
We all are welcome to our own opinions @53Strat
@NTWoo95Thats the magic, humans are terrible at assessing what war really is. Since all we know is that we are the center of our experiences, people think it will be different for them, that they can have some control of the situation. Every soldier knows they can die, but few imagine they will be snuffed out in pointless way, by a random bullet, a improvised bomb, a disease your immune sistem wasn't used to, or friendly fire. Even a war movie written by a veteran has the bias that he survived.
@53Strat “no such thing as an anti war film” is a bit of an overused quote but its worth thinking about for a bit if you haven’t. I don’t entirely agree w it but still
recruiting must be real bad if they’re making movies like this again
so true
Or, catering to an audience that is more reliable.
something tells me this might not be the “war good” movie that you think it is
No this is the opposite of those recruiting movies this one is meant to make you not want war
Unless you’re smart enough to understand how necessary it is to do this to the other guy
This seems pretty anti war. If they wanted to do a war movie for recruiting sakes, it wouldn’t use the Iraq war as the backdrop. It would be something along the lines of World War 2, where there was a just and noble cause for what we were fighting for. Iraq war is too controversial. This is simply a post GWOT movie we’ve been seeing more of since we’ve pulled out of the Middle East
I’m gonna be rooting for the people defending their country on this one
You have successfully signaled your good virtue. Congratulations. I hope she sees this.
I'm a military veteran, and anyone looking to join the military needs to see this movie. It's the most accurate war film ever made hands down.
Just got back from a deployment in the middle east. Didn’t see any action, biggest thing was drones being shot down and missiles flying overhead to Israel, i look up to the veterans that served in early GWOT, they are a big reason why i joinee the Army
@kevinc.cucumber3697just go to Iraq or Afghanistan
Hey, military veteran - what did u fight for on the other side of the world? U have no business there, u did no "service" for anybody, except killing innocents. Oh yea, so intense. Ure a pos.
Dude, thank you for this comment- I'm seeing the movie tonight and I am planning on joining the military this year!!
Hahahahahhahaha
this movie will single handedly bring recruitment numbers down lmao, its that eye opening
Crazy part is that in the real world , it’s still 10x worse than what was shown in this movie.
or up, the feeling of brotherhood which is lacking anywhere else is palpable
Laughable seeing people say this movie is supposed to make people want to go to war. It makes war look horrific.
@Timgamt exactly. Look at the earliest comments talking about how this is war propaganda for the pentagon or whatever.
What abunch of dipsh!sts
@Vaaaaaumy thought exactly. doesn’t seem it was a state sponsored production.
War is so messed up. All of these humans died for what? land, oil, etc. so awful.
Tell me how much oil was involved?
yeah, we got it, war is always not a pleasant business, could you say something less pretentious and obvious?
@vonscheer5850war is usually unpleasant and always delivers a net negative to all involved
@seanmcpart832America imports a decent amount of oil from Iraq.
@ClaSSik108 4% is all
That’s the guy that was snortin Unicom horn dust huh 😂
I don’t think Alex garland knows what sleep is
2:12 They're watching Dancing with the Stars live final.
Okay WW3 psyop is increasing.
Schizo
So this is basically the Saving Private Ryan of war movies set in the modern era?
Not at all
You can immediately tell that this was made by a veteran!
I hate war movies where you can see that the actors handle their weapons poorly, etc.
But this film is made as realistically as possible-the way the actors carry their weapons, radio procedures, etc.
False.. this looks terribly done
@LoganErrok
@LoganErrBeing a contrarian doesn’t make you unique ya know?
Who cares. It’s still US war mongering propaganda.
@LoganErr It's not even remotely false, it was directed by a navy seal & this is based on real events they went through. You are such a nerd.
1:48 the sound the weapon makes and the way it looks lol
COD ahh sfw
Bro that's literally the HALO Warthog turret stock sound effect. They better put some fucking work into the audio FX, that shit better be a placeholder
@rought0he put a mw2 little bird sound effect for the Apache in civil war, I just hope they at least keep the same fully loaded blanks as well
@rought0I was like I’ve literally heard this sound before lolll this is just early production
@IPhryte Yeap and I'm pretty sure I heard some tank trap getting hit by bullet sound effect from saving private ryans omaha scene too.
This movie was one of the absolute greatest movies I’ve ever seen
bro when and where recorded?
2:01 Nice FV432 standing in for a Bradley
They were widely used in Iraq.
@matthewgillies7509 with a turret?
@matthewgillies7509don’t think he was saying they WERENT used in Iraq. Just the fact that it’s a British vehicle instead of American
Thanks, I was wondering what that was
To be fair I think we sent gave all our spare 2000s Bradleys to Ukraine
2:18 My friends and I are leaving work after a hard day's work
Looks like you lost one

Civil War 2: The Attack on Iraq
"Civil War 2: This time we remembered the war part."
Hopefully Alex Garland’s mediocrity as a director isn’t as apparent now that he’s sharing the duties.
@07foxmulder Mediocrity? yo, didn't you know that he's the same director as Ex Machina and Civil War?
@diegoperleche5177 I’m aware. If you like those movies, cool. To me, he hasn’t written anything decent since Dredd and has never directed a good movie.
@07foxmulder real hot take lmfao
More movies like this
It’s crazy to see other studios continue to flounder while a24 out here making absolute bangers across any genre.
No that's just your opinion, it's not actually true..a24 makes garbage movies for pretentious assholes
They give creators the freedom to make their vision come to life without much studio interference, it seems
A24 is universally made fun of for making the most generic pseudo intellectual movies lol
They take risks that other studio won't and it's giving us some amazing cinema
This time last year I considered crypto without much knowledge and decided to have a consultation with a fiduciary, and it was incredibly insightful. I got into the market with 15k, One year and a couple of months in, and I'm up with 550k. I truly cannot stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!
ALL I ASK IS THAT JOE QUINN DOESN’T FREAKING DIE AGAIN (edit: I’ve done some research, and he spoke with the man he’s playing so we all good folks!)
He's the new sean bean lol
@clarestonehall7665I laughed so hard at this 😂
Did ya'll watch A Quiey Place Day One yet??
Well, it's not looking good so far. 😅
He's on the ground talking about severely wounded. So idk about that.
We saw this last night. Was worried it would be a film glorifying war but it definitely did not. Tastefully done. Felt like an artistic and cinematic war movie while focusing on the horror that is war.
i wasn't going to go initially because i thought Tom Cruise would fly in to save the day, but since it isn't a puffed up hollywood movie glorifying war, i'll go see it.
The horror that is a US invasion for civilians
The incessant yelling of the wounded troops was annoying but necessary to convey one of those horror of war aspects.
No, but it's glorifying american military invasion to every country that they can get into. And then crying about it's losses and how bad the everybody else is, and all other things.
@TheLinuxYeswhat are you talking about? I swear you people have no brain cells. When has tom cruise been in a boring war film? His thing is action and stunts
What they got from this mission? Destroying civilian house😂
Heard some people say this is one of the best movies of the year so far. Cannot wait to see it
It is. I left and drove home with PTSD!
By far the best movie of the year!
Hell yeah I bloody love Cosmo Jarvis!! Such a talented actor and musician. Glad he is continuing to get great roles and working with many well known actors.
Great cast. Some of my favourite actors working today. Joseph Quinn, Cosmo Jarvis and Will Poulter. It looks intense.
The scream of the injured soldier after the ied blast is so so accurate to reality
1:55 that shot looks crazy
Amazing cinematography
fr
Kinder in Kindergarten...
"we have a severly wounded"
"whos the severly wounded"
"its not you"
"is it me? who is it?"
i feel like this is great piece of dialogue for a war film. 1:09
severely*
Meanwhile its the gayest part of the trailer 😂
@TaxidermiedMessiah im trying to figure out what's gay about a brother still in the mindset of caring about his brothers. Even if he's wounded. I served as a Recon Marine during the GWOT years. You sound like a coward.
"Help the bombardier"
@TaxidermiedMessiah what is that even supposed to mean
Gave up my girlfriend and my family
Traded 'em in for an M16

Your life gets destroyed for destroying those of others in lands that aren't your own.
@splittingvoid7923 fair trade
@splittingvoid7923 first stop hitting skyscrapers with planes
@splittingvoid7923that isn't very kosher
The second Officer in Charge’s leadership was breathtaking. I have been in the military for 16 years and I’m still taking notes
After seeing Will Poulter in The Bear, can't get enough of his acting skill. Bro's come a long way since Narnia and is killing it. Hope he gets more big roles.
He's great in everything he's in, even Midsommar.
"You guys are getting paid?" 😂
Love him in Black Mirror Bandersnatch

I never anticipated getting this old… this is like being a Vietnam vet and watching Platoon.
One of those movies I wished existed being made
they came they saw they got rekt hahaha
"There's no such a thing as an anti-war film" ( Truffaut ). If anybody is reading and cares about a stranger's suggestion, you should read David Thomson's "The fatal alliance : a century of war on film". It's a great book.
He said so only because he's never seen "Grave of the Fireflies".
@fuzzyoav You could be right but only because Grave of the Fireflies doesn't show actual war, the moment you show armed combat and people are paying to see it, the war is the attraction,; I think there are other good films that work to undermine war, and they all try to evoke rather than show.
@mummiabaz yes! I’ve been thinking about this for sometime now. Most war films are spectacle. It shows the effects on the civilians and the soldiers but never interrogates the root cause of it in the first place. Instead of questioning the systems, ideologies, or political agendas that lead to war, they focus on individual suffering, or survival. This can glorify war by presenting it as inevitable or necessary, rather than as a failure of humanity.
Maybe it’s because it’s too ‘grey’ and complex for people who just want to have a pop-corn flick.
Edit: Though whilst writing this one film came to mind - ‘battle of Algiers’. This imo is the penultimate anti- war film. Shot like a documentary a few years after the battle with people who really have gone through it. The events ‘unfold’ without spectacle and feel raw. The film was banned in France…maybe it still is. Everyone needs to see this..tho when I read this book my thoughts might change.
The thin red line is very close to anti war, i saw it as a kid and i didn't get all hyped up, combat sequences were very real and throw you off like the rest of the film
@mummiabaz I think the notion of "no such thin as an anti-war film" is interesting. However, if we apply your interpretation, then there are no anti-domestic-abuse films or anti-racism films, or anti-anything film for as soon as you portray the bad thing on film and people are paying to see it, the bad thing is the attraction. The difference is a lot of war films' portrayal of war glorify war in tone and theme. I would suggest it's possible to portray war without glorifying it. I think Full Metal Jacket accomplishes this to an extent.
when they ask me who my favourite rapper is 1:33
That’s why his stage name is so badass bruh 😂 Straight up war name
I didn’t know bro was about that life, popping smoke
@proboanimations apparently he wasn't very good at it
real af 🤣
rest in peace pop smoke 😕
0:18 he never had the makings of an Iraq war vet
God damnit sopranos leave me alone
FNG
Theyre all way too clean
He probably never had the makings to be a varsity athlete.
The fact that an Iraq War vet is making this film, writing and directing, assures me that this casting is decently accurate for a Hollywood film. Wtf r u complaining about
LOL @ the cgi
1:33 R.I.P popsmoke
D’Pharaoh is going FAR. Super proud of him 👑!!
I've never seen anything like this movie. It left me shook to my core.
Watching it on IMAX makes me thought I am one of the soldier when that IED hit that Bradley.
Never forget that it was Benjamin Netanyahu that came to America and testified before congress that Iraq had WMD’s.
A Khazarian fake Jew from Poland.
I actually didn't know that and I will blindly believe you because based on his current actions it's not at all surprising to me.
@feralmode oh I believe you, I'm just not in the mood to Google right now. I wasn't being sarcastic or rude, though. Really doesn't surprise me at all. Sometimes I wish things like that WOULD surprise me.
@feralmode watching videos now. Definitely not surprised and makes sense why the US would be so kind as to send so much money into his hands.
@feralmode stop who from creating the pivot though? I feel like the US manufactured that pivot to work in our favor despite any of the terrible things that were required. But I suppose that depends on how far back you go
If by real time they mean "one shot" style movie then hell yeah!!!
H
This is a pretty expensive Army recruitment add
They are seals 🤡 part of the navy
@rugerred8659 I didn't know seals wore ACU's, big guy
@davycrockett5218 🤦 the movie is literally about a team of seals In the battle of Ramadi in 2006, on of the people working in the film was a seal and it’s his story from his platoon that fell under heavy enemy resistance, go look it up clown 🤡 than apologize after
It’s a movie about terrorists who go to another country, massacre the civilians, and steal their resources. This is worse than Al qaeda recruiting
@davycrockett5218 well ya do now champ
Wonder how half of a war movie filmed inside a house!
Can’t wait to see this
A24 might actually make a decent war movie
All for the weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist.
Cosmo Jarvis is gonna be in everything after his incredible performance on Shogun. Good for him, he deserves it.
Calm with Horses was one of my fav in recent memory
Hopefully, he is an incredible talent.
Yes! Can’t wait to see him in more work. Hopefully he’s in this movie a lot cause it looks like his character gets wounded badly. He’s the one being carried and moved.
@JetConvoy oh yah, he's getting effed up in this.
😮
You had me again at "In real time"...🔥
Does that mean the whole movie takes place in about 2 hours of one battle?
@MatthewTheWanderer 2 hours of extract, yup. Can't wait to see ukraine version, wait theres go pro footage of that already.
@sierracosta47 This movie isn't a documentary, it is a re-enactment of events based on memories.
War is such a waste of money and life...
Everything is a waste of mone and life.
Meh, if we didn't have stupid religion we would've had way less wars throughout history.
Yep, but those of who stand on guard and those who actually been there it is the only way to stop mad men and women, sometimes.
What an absolutely infantile, disconnected, entitled and arrogant thing to say, when you have the privilege of not having to choose your life over someone else's.
@kobman4159 you’re missing the point of his statement lol breathe child
Eyebrows kid and Alex Garland...letz go baby
Interesting seeing a FV432 with a Fox turret pretending to be a Bradley
Cant believe they couldnt just use an actual Bradley.
@Sevenfold120the US military probably didn’t give this movie their backing thats ehy
My first thoughts were "wtf is that abomination."
Did you look at their rifle setups?
@calebsone1630 Think I saw an M4 with a foregrip. What else?
Saw this last night at a special screening in the Boston area. GREAT film. Very well researched, very very real.
I can't wait to watch it
Do you know from experience?
@daniellong1525 I deployed but never saw combat. My combat """experience""" is more so in training, running hundreds of lane iterations. My experience is nothing like what these men endured, but the film does a great job at holding you in those moments. It's all in one location, all in real time. Even if you've never served, you will feel it.
Were they honest about the part that USA was a violent invasion force and that soldiers were killing poor native poeple just defending their homeland?
I'll watch anything with Cosmo Jarvis. Fantastic, versatile actor.
Whos he
@dennywidyashogun
@dennywidya He’s the actor that played John Blackthorne (the Anjin) on Shōgun.
He's also a banger musician
if you watch this you're a total tool
"This is warfare.. this is invasion"
Was totally immersed and then I hear the Warthog turret at 1:48 😂
HAHAHAHAHA.. As a lifelong Halo fan, dying!
And the BTR cannon sound effect from BF3 at 2:04.
Haha yeah the SFX could have been better - there is also a HL2 cough somewhere at the start. Oh well
for those wondering ...he meant the warthog from the video game "halo" not the real life warthog a10 plane hahaha
Yeah everything sounded fantastic until those two moments
When I was a kid my father and I would watch "Combat" and it drove him nuts. He served in the Marines for 26 years, fought in WWII and Korea (Silver Stars and Purple Hearts). He would shout at the TV about how you wouldn't do this or shouldn't do that, same with "War" movies. I used to wish he'd not comment so much, I thought the guys filming these must have been combat veterans themselves, at least somebody on the set had been. Then I joined the Army and went off to Vietnam. When I came back after my first tour, he and I smoked a cigarette out on the lanai, drank a beer together and cried together. We cried because we were sad, and proud and because we were laughing at the funny shit that happens sometimes. It was the first time I ever saw my father cry, but then we laughed ourselves sick telling stories to each other. Each time I came home, my mother was a wreck and my father and I laughed and drank beer (never more than two). Now, I'm a lot older and I do the same thing. My wife tells me "if you don't like what they do in the movies, why watch them?" and she has a point. I've stopped watching war movies...and I'm okay. I see these "Trailers" and I can hear my father roaring "Cover fire, don't you assholes know how to lay down covering fire?".
My dad's a Vietnam vet and I'm an Iraq vet(xviii abc), but he never talks about it, and I never talk about Iraq with him. I don't know why. One interesting thing is we did watch the show "combat" together and my dad constantly calls out the fake parts.
@roadbone1941 My father and I swapped the funny, odd and just plain crazy stories about our experiences. We actually did talk about combat a few times but never brought it again. It's a unique experience talking with your father as an equal about things that can only be shared with other veterans.
Thank you all for your service
Brilliant ❤
When I retired from the Army, I realized that I couldn’t turn none of this off. I’m an OIF Vet and my childhood best friend’s Dad was a Vietnam Vet (recently passed). He never talked about Vietnam until after I had deployed and I totally understood him at the point. He was no longer just my friends weird Dad with “shell shock.”
Every time I came home to visit, he spent more time opening up about his experiences. I realized that he had kept this stuff bottled up for almost half a decade. I wish he was still here to give me some advice. Our struggles are the same, we just encountered them in different wars.
I find it weird seeing war movie being made about a war I was in. I was deployed to Iraq in 2006.
Very true
Thank you for your service!
I was there at the same time, and there were movies being made about it already, like the hurt locker, and some others. I thought they were really badly made, totally inaccurate, etc. I'm not sure if it's just been a long time and I don't remember that well, but this one at least looks somewhat closer to what it was like. The settings and doors look like the real thing. I was mech infantry in the muhallahs as well as in the palm groves, and Bradley's blasting away like this was real. Seems like it's somewhat closer to legit, from what I remember, but they always consult SF for these movies, and they get the gear wrong and focus on snipers, which are a small part of overall operations.
It was not your war. I have seen abu ghraib torture photos, and you're disgusting.
Meanwhile in Afghanistan, the events of Restrepo were happening in the Korengal Valley.
My family was few of the lucky ones that got out of al ramadi when the war broke out i randomly saw this movie on imdb and told my mom about it we plan on watching it today
My baby brother served in Iraq in 2008-2009, he was killed in a car wreck when he came home for a short visit. Thank you all for what yall have done to keep us here at home safe❤❤❤ and to the families of our soldiers, my hats off to you too!! The family of a soldier also serves, just in a different way❤❤
I am so sorry❤
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family, so sorry for your loss. 🙏🇺🇸
As an Army veteran who was in the infantry over in Iraq for 15 months in 2006-2007 during President Bush's troop surge and deployment extensions, just watching this trailer brings back a flood of memories.
And yes you are absolutely correct! The family of a soldier or serviceman/ servicewoman serves and sacrifices in a different way. You all didn't volunteer, you were essentially forced to serve & sacrifice by our decisions to enlist. So your support means more to us than you may ever realize. I know it carried me through the Army and my time in Iraq.
From a grateful nation, a heartfelt THANK YOU CARMEN! With the utmost love & respect ❤🇺🇸🙏
Tommy Aragon
Btw if you don't mind sharing, what was his name? If you'd like to share a link or anything about him, I would certainly be interested in reading it. Again, THANKS!
Unfortunately, if you think that war was about keeping our home safe, you are highly deluded - condolences for your little brother
@nadagabri5783 was that necessary, in this context.?
Say shawarma not soldier
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
