There is no point in watching this after first 20-min chapter with Rebecca Ferguson POV. That is the entire movie.

If you continue watching, all you'll get is the exact same sequence of events, of the exact sametimespan - from the perspective of another federal employee. Nothing more happens, nothing more is added/revealed, the timeline doesn't move forward 1 second.

Then it ends before anything happens or any decision is made.

I hope you've enjoyed "A house of dynamite"

Yeah I skipped through it, it really did have a good premise, up until the first section but like the anon said above, and you just stated, its the same events told from a different PoV and the first 20mins is all you need to see. Plus like other anon said above it blue balls the viewer, nothing happens.

I get the motive and philosophical idea of making a movie like that, but in practice its fucking bullshit.
Would have just been a better thriller to space the nuke out, have all the players scrambling about like retards, have the nuke hit then them trying to piece together who hit them with a nuke.

Watched it, the movie pretty much resets 3 times, each "cycle" adding a little extra perspective, ever higher on the chain of command: grunt cycle, XO cycle, POTUS cycle. The third cycle was the worst because of how little it added compared to the previous, the movie just repeated itself at that point, that there was the worst part.
The movie ends right before Chicago gets nuked and we get a miniscule glimpse of the beginning of a nuclear war actually kicking off, it was a blueball.
I made the mental effort of ignoring the fact 90% of the cast was brown and/or female lol, which I hope is not reflective of reality?

Despite everything I liked this movie, not great but enjoyable, it's cool to see what the cogs would do in such an event, all the procedures and military jargon. US military acronyms are porn, they make me jizz everytime I hear them, they're just so satisfying

I read "Nuclear War: A Scenario" which is the book this movie was clearly inspired by, which goes into quite horrifying detail about what an actual nuclear strike on the USA and ensuing chain of events would look like, this movie basically stops at 1/3 of the way through the book. Such a waste of a film.

I'm a Bigelow Boy but this is her worst film. It doesn't work. Did no producer like watch it before it was finished?

Imagine you're in a Microsoft Teams meeting with Paul, Linda and Brian. The meeting reaches its end, everyone logs off.

>*Fades to black*
>*Dramatic footage of an orca biting a shark in half*
>*OMINOUS CHORD*

Then chapter 2 starts and ends with the exact same fucking meeting, but from Paul's perspective. That's literally what this movie is.

it would have been a great movie if:
- bomb goes off and chicago explodes. world war 3 ensues
- they reveal it has been a misfire and the next of the movie is spent trying to cool adversaries off and/or military complex from going to war
- it has been a rogue AI and the usa wants to nuke russia but russians say it was just one AI

the director was a pussy who didn't want to commit to anything

>>215508766
I don't think it's even mentioned.
The news/internet doesn't react. There's 20 minutes between them noticing the missile and the missile hitting. The closest you get are questions about why a senator leaves in the middle of a hearing and white house press staff being very confused.

But keep paying those Jews 15/m though
>>
>>215518414
Because it was likely North Korea that launched the missile. Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15 ICBMs can reach, at maximum, the Great Lakes region.
>>
>>215518518
okay but why not LA or San Francisco or Seattle? Aren't those all way closer than having to fly over most of the US to get to Chicago?
>>
If you want some good nuclear war Kino, skip this and Threads and go watch Failsafe, either the 60s version with Walter Matthau or the remake with George Clooney and Harvey Keitel.

>>215503338

>>
>>215518570
calling it Rashomon is a disservice
it's literally the same story being told through three different viewpoints, but the first one is the best and they get progressively worse
>>
>>215518414
Because the movie is retarded. If you’re launching a first strike you first detonate nukes high in the atmosphere to remove electronics (and you could probably stop there and win). Then you attack then enemies weapons, silos, airbases, ports, command and control centres, political leadership. Then you attack infrastructure and strategic reserves and finally cities.
What would nuking Chicago get you, other than a thank you note and a bottle of whisky?
>>
>>215518553
My guess would be that the North Koreans, want to show that they have the capability that they can strike deep within the continental US. (which is where are silos are mostly located, and can wipe out an arm of our nuclear triade) But that's just a guess, the movie certainly doesn't make it clear who shot first. But I surmise that the NKs likely don't possess the amount of Hwasong-14/15 missiles to launch a mass strike against the continental US.
>>
>>215518518
Why not put at least two nukes each on two freighters, launch them off the eastern and western seaboards as EMPs then? How does launching one nuke at a nigger city benefit NK in anyway?
>>
>>215518557
Nah watch something decent and mostly realistic instead. The Day After comes to mind.
>>
>>215518671
Honestly, because it's a movie and they just want to show the middle section between when an ICBM launches and when the payload arrives at it's destination. As they state in the film, the NK regime is all about self-preservation and launching a single nuke as far away from the south-east Pacific (I assume?) would open them up to a massive conventional, if not nuclear counter-strike from the US.
>>
>the nukes are coming in icbms! from the norks!

it will be in a backpack or a truck and there won’t be 20 minutes to hem and haw
>>
>>215518671
Maybe they're still mad at Dennis Rodman
>>
>>215508399
No. American missile defense is designed to stop a single launched ICBM from a rogue state/accidental launch because that's all that's really possible, but it's pretty good at that. Look at how Israel did in its missile war with Iran, then remember that the Pacific is way larger and the US would have a lot more time.

The really stupid part of the movie's portrayal is everything else though. They act like you can't tell where a ballistic missile came from, that we'd just believe Russia and China in a missile crisis, that we have to intercept it in the launch phase, and they fire the counter strike before knowing if it destroys Chicago.

A real nuclear war scenario has fast response times (launch on warning, 10-15 minutes) because a massive first strike can destroy your arsenal and CnC systems in the ground, preventing a second strike and letting the attacker win the nuclear war. If there's just 1 bomb there's no real rush and at worst you just lose a city, it sucks but it's not the end of the American world.

>What are they waiting for
Nuclear deterrence isn't achieved by missile defense but by missile offense. The USA has hundreds of warheads on submarines, stealth bombers, and missiles ready to launch on a hair trigger. If you try to nuke a nuclear power they can nuke you back, and your missile defense is just as shit (or even worse if you're Russia).

It's called MAD: Mutually Assured Destruction. In practice it's like surviving in a street full of armed men by having a gun and armed friends who will back you up instead of trying to wear Ned Kelly armor everywhere.

Is it just a bad tag line or is the author actually suggesting that being able to recover in the aftermath of nuclear exchange is a bad thing? I've never read any of his books, but most sound like airport sales rack slop.

NTA but a movie being propaganda doesn't automatically make it bad, it can still be an enjoyable flick even though its intent is to manipulate you, as long as you recognize that you can shield yourself from it

It wasn't enjoyable in any sense of the word. The only way to make it 'enjoyable' is to look at it like a parody. Overly dramatic zooming on the concerned faces of retards doing fuck all. I was expecting idris elba to wink at the camera after saying "We all are the house of dynamite after all. So anyway.."

Quality post anon.
What pissed me off is that they determine early, near immediately that it is both a singular launch and that it is not a directed decapitation strike. Thus diminishing the portrayed urgency of retaliation.
What happened in the movie is essentially a rogue or terrorist controlled missile which would garner a wholly different response.

The Annie Jacobsen book Nuclear War: A Scenario portrays the exact same scenario as in this movie and made me think it was based off of it. She also does a very poor job.
Ellsbergs The Doomsday Machine is the superior read.
>>
I watched the first third and had enough.
It's a somewhat realistic portrayal of an extremely unrealistic scenario.
If you put your defence nerd hat on the whole premise absolutely falls apart.

I'm guessing this slop has been on the shelf for a long time and finally someone got desperate enough to make it.
>>
>>215518970
>that we'd just believe Russia and China in a missile crisis
This might not be realistic, but the explicit purpose of the filmmakers was to make sure every single character was a rational actor (and my own added commentary, portrayed to be relatable normal people with normal lives). The point of this is to show that under these ideal circumstances, the nuclear-fight systems we have in place are still an incredibly difficult thing to navigate.

The filmmakers goal is to make it so the audience cannot interpret the events as due to irrational actors. The biggest hawk in the movie, the STRATCOM commander, is introduced as a cool grandpa and when he explains the case for first-strike he doesn't come off as fanatical but rather as being what is basically a perfect professional doing exactly what he is supposed to do. The goal is to reintroduce the nuclear scare to society, which has largely forgotten that it's still a problem especially with insane shitholes like India and Pakistan growing their arsenals.

Fucking terribly? They blocked all publication of the damage but the claims process for missile damage is impossible to hide, they got assfucked hard and were running out of anti-missile defenses by the end. Iran had barely cleaned out it's old stock.

First part with 'becca is excellent, tense, well acted, top tier. Second acts is ok, third act with obama is weak af. The ending is possibly the worst ending of a movie in the last 30 years, if not ever.

Read Nuclear War Survival Skills. Look at what Switzerland, Finland and the Warsaw Pact put in place for their citizens. Read NWSS. Yes, the government taking steps to protect themselves and fuck the rest of the country is bad.

>>215519657
I never said propaganda automatically makes something bad. This is a bad movie. It has multiple flaws in the films logic and the core scenario.
>>
>>215519462
If the country is being devoured by nuclear flame the government has failed in its job of protecting the country. So why save them? They fucked up. You'll be rebuilding the world with a population descended from the retards who let the country be destroyed in the first place. The kind of people who say

JUST STOP MAKING MOVIES WHERE NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS FUCK. At least Wild had some decent sex scenes.

If this movie was a linear timeline, "who dun it?" nuclear thriller with Rebecca Ferguson protagonist it would've been 10 000% better.

Wouldn't even need a nuclear explosion scene, just show helicopter news footage afterwards and a tsunami of phones ringing etc. Emergency meetings with President Elba and all the secretaries, generals etc.

Then an ending with a president sitting with the nuclear trigger in his lap would've been acceptable.

we don't have only 50, I've worked on hardware for THAAD test lots, we have more than 50.

those are not thaad, retard, you have worked on my dick. thaad is for short and medium range missiles, for long range icbms you have gbi.

>GBI (Ground-Based Interceptor) and THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) are two different U.S. missile defense systems designed for different phases of a ballistic missile's flight. GBI is a midcourse intercept system designed to destroy intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in the vastness of space, while THAAD is a terminal defense system designed to intercept short, medium, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles just before they hit their target, both outside and inside the atmosph
>>
>>215526234
retard, never again speak of things you don;t understand

>the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system cannot reliably destroy Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) because they are too fast for it to handle. THAAD is designed for short, medium, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles and is effective only in the terminal phase, just before the missile reaches its target. ICBMs reach much higher speeds (over Mach 20) and altitudes during their flight, making them difficult to intercept with systems like THAAD
>>
>>215526332
But a guy in the last thread claimed that Mach 20 is not hypersonic somehow.

Dont you guys realize we havent made a new nuclear missile in like decades? Its because the space technology is 100+ years ahead. We dont need nukes anymore.
