#1 Joint Greatest Experience in the Cinema This Year 2024.
Just Got out of a Civil War IMAX Screening.
The Battles were Insane, Bullets Flying from the Front, Side, and Rear of the Auditorium, Helicopters Flying Overhead, Cars Speeding Fast, The Loud Gunshot Sounds and Impact Hits, WHAT A SENSORY OVERLOAD! GUYS, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE IN CINEMA!
What I liked about the Film -
1. 💥 The Sensory Overload was so good. Super Loud Gunshot Sounds coming from the Speakers Behind the Screen and from Around the Auditorium.
2a. 🎥 The Sweeping Vistas of America on the Gigantic IMAX Screen was a Sight to Behold. Some, Beautiful Skyline Shots, others were Beautifully Horrific Dystopian Shots, like the freeway shot, the crashed helicopter shot, the Dark Sky with Ammunition Flying through the Sky in the Background of Wagner Moura & Caliee Spaeny as they Talk to eachother. The Film is Almost Constantly Gorgeous on the Eye & is such an Experience. That Stadium Scene was a Stunning Scene, shot absolutely Beautifully.
2b. 🎥 Staying on the Camera, So Many of the Shots and Camera Movements were Excellently Done. Panning Shots and Tilting Shots and then stopping to Take that Stunning Shot. Such Excellent Camera Work. That Horrific Tilting Shot of the Grave then Up Towards Jesse Plemons as he holds them Hostage was another Stunning Shot. When they drive through the Dark Road and there are Orange Sparks around the car and in the air, that was another Amazing Scene. So many Scenes. Guys, experience this film in IMAX.
3. 🙋 The Performances by Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura(he's the Best Performer in this film for me), Cailee Spaeny and Stephen McKinley Henderson were all good Performances.
4. 🤷 The Ambiguity of the Film - So we have the 3 Factions Stated Below, then we Have Jesse Plemons' character who seems to be a Rogue American Nationalist. Wagner Mouras Character is Latin American Right? But Jesse Plemons character doesn't Execute Him Immediately when he says he's From Florida, so was Jesse Plemons' character only allowing American Born? The Graves he was filling were of all Races. Another Example was "the Antifa Massacre" mentioned by Caliee Spaeny, was it a Massacre by Antifa? Or a Massacre Of Antifa? Again, Ambiguity, Open to interpretation, and not holding your hand is key in what makes this film so Interesting 🤔. We've seen cookie cutter Plotline war films a thousand times before.
5. 💣⚡ The Final Battle, Again more Bullets Flying, Rocket Launchers, Explosions, Helicopters Flying, Soldiers Positioning themselves on Rooftops as the IMAX Shots of Washington D. C. and it's Landmarks serve as the Backdrop, and Orange & Yellow Gunfire Lines are Visually Seen through the Dark Night Sky. 🌃
I hope Civil War makes Money at the Box office in it's Run, I would Love a Sequel to this Film, and it can Expand Upon(still keeping this ambiguous approach though) the Major Factions and what Caused it. (I'm guessing the Presidency Turning into a Dictatorship was part of the Overall Picture)
Overall, it's my #1 Joint Greatest Experience in a Cinema this Year(Along with Dune Part 2).
