Civil War (2024 film)

From the visionary mind of Alex Garland comes a thought-provoking master-class movie that paints a darker picture of America.

Civil War (2024 film)

Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Jesse Plemons, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman, Civil War, the magnum opus masterpiece by Alex Garland, who is responsible for movies such as 28 Days Later, EX MACHINA, and Annihilation, is set in a dystopian future America when government and rebel forces clash throughout the entire nation. As the civil war intensifies, a group of journalists are racing against time to reach the capitol.

Although purely fictional, Civil War is a warning sign to American society because of the political tensions the country is facing today. Politics aside, this masterpiece is more than just a "war movie" because its dark and powerful storytelling is peppered with drama and values this movie possesses. Such storytelling earned Civil War the right to be called an "artisan pick" and the whole world got its attention.

A dark portrayal of America amid political turmoil is worth checking out in cinemas as Civil War ultimately proves its point that it might happen when politics in America spiraled out of control.
