This movie is an idiotic portrayal of the apparent buffoons that run Americas nuclear response team. I was more angry at the portrayal of these men and women in charge of our defense than anything. They display a sense of urgency akin to looking for a lost credit card vs. an imminent nuclear strike.
With 8 minutes to impact most of the team is outside crying or telling people to go home or calling their family or holding hands talking about how they can still propose to their girlfriend later. What member of this team would be allowed to do any of these things ???
The entire missile interceptor team in Alaska is literally not even in the room at this juncture because theyโre all crying, puking, talking to their mom etc. hello?? What if they launch another missile ??
Itโs a wildly unprofessional and sickeningly dumb portrayal of what are undoubtedly some of the most highly trained and disciplined professionals on the planet.
Utterly absurd
