A House of Dynamite on Netflix.

Dropped on Netflix today.....I'll be watching it tonight!

Kathryn Bigelow has a way to crafting movies to make them feel like documentaries. she produces very realistic movies.

I'm no expert on the politics and protocols of nuclear war, but my BS meter never went off on the trailer and sneak peeks.

i just saw the trailer today & it looks good- i'll check it out soon enough - but right now i am watching WAYWARD - & am 4 eps in. & it's pretty good.

Idris Elba is awesome.

They say the ending is ambiguous.....Much like The Road......As much as we want to know what caused the end of the world, we never find out. And it's better like that.

Great first act. Dropped off to meh after that.

I'd have rather they edited it to show the 3 separate storylines up to the point of the defensive missile launch. Then go linear/simultaneous from there bouncing between the three of them.

I'm not mad about the ending. It's okay for a movie to make you think about something or feel something without a complete narrative arc.

Where it lost my engagement was in the repetition, with minimal story expansion.

At least they got one thing right, the FEMA DEI hire who, according to her character's coworker, hadn't even deserved the spot.....That made me laugh. To be honest there was no other reason to even have her in the movie.

Yeah was not a fan of ending...I needed more closure.

 

[TNHarley]

That ending pissed me off

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Er, wait. I thought this was a series

WTF

Are they going to do a Part II?

What a stupid waste of time

Felt like a complete waste of time.

 

[TNHarley]

Felt like a complete waste of time.

Absolutely

Er, wait. I thought this was a series

WTF

What a stupid waste of time

Part two will look like Harold Edgertons high speed movie of a detonation......a ten second movie.
