Regular guy review. DO NOT WATCH. Absolutely terrible. It had a good idea, and ran it into the dirt. Constant cliche, terrible acting, terrible CGI, and terrible information. 1. Watching people who obviously don't know anything about guns, act like they know about guns is such an easy tell. Sometimes they have sights, sometimes they don't. Scene by scene it's different. Same with other attachments. And basically poking their eyes out with the guns while aiming.... Teach them how to hold them correctly AT LEAST! 2. Theres a scene with the terrible CGI that Mackie's character is being chased up a hill, and the monster is behind him in the distance. The animation froze and just panned to the right as if they just said "They'll never notice, put it in the movie" 3. The acting is super corny and cheesy that it's pretty hard to watch when they're doing anything besides just talking. Anthony is a great actor, I don't know if it was the production team that made him look this bad or what. The son, Hunter, seemed to be the only one who played his role well. 4. The story didn't have an ending other than "OH, we can kill these things now so we are going to do so." We never find out where the monsters come from, why they came, who made them, why they can't go above 8000ft, etc. Constant holes in the story that honestly just irritate me because I sat through this steaming pile and don't even get a back story other than they wiped out 95% of the population in a month, and they came out of the ground. THANKS FOR THOSE RIVETING DETAILS. Seems like a very unprofessional and half-finished production, and I wouldn't reccomend this movie to ANYONE. I don't believe for a second that the positive reviews are from real people, or people who have seen this movie. Pile of hot garbage is putting it nicely...

I've seen all of these movies in order, except the newest one, "The Forever Purge" however, I do plan to watch it to see if it's as big of a pile of hot garbage as this movie is. The last movie was very pushy on the race factor. Which is ridiculous. There were military contractors with national flags, confederate battle flags, and "white power" on their uniforms. There was no reason for it, they just threw it in there. It literally didn't come in to play AT ALL. This movie was even worse race bait wise. We have a drug dealer turned hero, who apparently is John Rambo incarnate. The main female says that he spends the rest of the year killing people, and basically plays him as nothing but a killer/gangster, but somehow he's beloved by all and ends up being the hero. They dress these military contractors as Nazis, and KKK members while the push through these predominantly black neighborhoods, wiping people out, and it's just pushing a racist agenda. It's honestly just annoying at this point. If they were to have pushed the "poor vs rich" idea rather than "black vs white" this would have honestly been a great movie! Black people aren't the only people in this country who are poor, and white people aren't the only people in this country who are rich! Alot of us struggle, and I could have related more, had their not been a racist agenda, rather a classist one! The last movie had whites, blacks, and Latino main characters, and it was much better because at that point, it wasn't singling anyone out, it included everyone on both sides of the fight. This movie had 98% white people killing 100% black people (Skeletor did kill one Asian man, other than that, all black people) I don't understand why we have to push division so hard in movies when it doesn't have to be. All it does is give people more ideas that these people hate those people and vis versa. I'm in the mindset where everyone is free game, I don't care who the characters are, I just want a good, non politically biased story that really pulls you in and grips you for the entirety of the film, this film was just purely race focused. I'm all for strong black leads, but I'm not for dividing us as one people. This movie promotes nothing but division.
