'A civil war set in modern day America'- do you realise how much you can do with that concept? Well neither does Alex Garland. Absolute wasted the premise AND Nick Offerman. Shame.

Brilliant concept. Incredible execution. The writing and performances are hypnotizing from start to finish. The attention to detail in capturing the 70's Late Night talk show aesthetic and charm is awesome and the build-up of the horror is absolutely gripping. TLDR; Very fun, witty, thrilling and scary movie that found the perfect way to implement analogue horror for general audiences to enjoy. Please give it a try.

I just wanted to write "Cillian Murphy" but google insisted I used at least 30 characters.

If you're not 100% invested in the story/politics you will probably hate the movie or fall asleep. It's definitely not a 'casual watch'. Honestly just start with Part 2, it does a good job of recapping the events in this one. TL, DR: Great piece of cinema, not for everyone. Mainly just set up/exposition for the rest of the trilogy.

Even better than the first one. A perfect reminder as to why we have cinemas.
