I do not understand why there are people giving this a negative review. Its 2025 and there has been nothing but trash out for many years, we get possibly 1 or 2 good films a year now. For me personally, this is my movie of the year, Its not perfect, it have flaws but comparing it to the trash we are forced to watch these days, it really gives me hope for the movie industry. Its deep and detailed, it gives multiple perspectives on a siutation that could occur at any moment, its emotional and realistic. The only thing it is missing is CGI footage of the collision of the Nuke. (which is where the negative reviews come from). Which would turn this into some silly movie instead of a serious drama which is it intended to be. But I do wish we saw the outcome, That they focused an extra 30mins longer to the film for retaliation, they do leave you with a huge cliff hanger and it does give you time to think what you would do or discuss the correct choice, if there even is a correct choice. Maybe they did it because any reason would have essentially ruined the movie or made it worse. You could have gone the arrogant 'We're America' way and blew up multiple nations, causing the destruction of the world (far fetched). You could have gone down the stand down and surrender route which make the US look weak. I love it when movies like this comes out, especially when there are difficult times and circumstances going on in the world right now, it gives you thought to reflect on the uncertainties going on and how a singular missile strike could destroy this entire earth we call home. Its worth a watch, its a political drama, it you are expecting war and action and nuclear battles then you are sadly going to be disappointed. But if you enjoy emotion and to feel the depth of this type of situation. Then you will love this move.

This had so much potential! Why does the second half of the film feel so rushed. So much context missing, the ending is awful and just annoying in multiple ways. This could have been a great horror film. But it was ruined yet again by poor writing and directing, it was like he got bored writing this script and just wanted it over and done with, so he could focus on some other rushed bulshit. I feel like scratching out me eyes in frustration on how shocking the film and tv industry has become. They are all listening to the wrong people. Honestly this could have been award winning and unfortunately due to the shit that has come out this year, it still probably will but it does not deserve it at all. Feel free to watch it, it has great potential but the last 30/40minute will piss you off.

What was Danny Boyle thinking! Did they forget about the zombie budget? This had the potential to be great but the editing just made is a joke, it felt like they had given up with the film at the end so went ‘f**k it, let’s just through a curve ball in there’. It also felt like they had cut some much of the film that it actually felt like there were missing scenes. These scenes are cut so short that you feel nothing for any of the characters. The plot is dull and pointless. Something you’d normally see in the first 15/20 mins of a great film made into 2hours. Ralph Fiennes saved this film, his part of the movie was good! But again, another character massively cut short. 2hours of nothing in my opinion. I always thought the other films were overrated also but I was expecting this to live up to the hype and we really are just in a decade of dreadful writing and directing. Now it feels like it’s ending up to become the fast and furious franchise of the zombie world.
