This movie would have been better if it was just the Rebecca Ferguson parts stretched out for 90 minutes.

IMO, it was good but not great. First act was kino, but each subsequent act became more repetitive with less new (and important) information gleaned. The third act was the weakest by far IMO.

Also, I didn't look at the cast before watching. When I heard the President's voice on comms, I got hyped as fuck because I thought it was Al Pacino. I was so ready for them to show him in the third act. Imagine my surprise when it ended up being Idris Elba. He's a fine actor, but I was a victim of my own expectations lol
>>
Just watched this because it looked kind of fun, it was complete garbage. I don't know why I thought Netflix slop would be worth watching, if I knew the director was a woman I would've skipped it entirely.

The dumbest part was when Baker jumped to his death before he even saw if the nuke hit.

I can't believe they just did the exact same shit 3 times with barely anything different between them, what a glacial mess.
>>
>>215658228
The first two times were super kino, you just got filtered.

Weird movie, mid Bigelow. The 3 act/ensemble cast structure is the biggest problem. She's a master of tension and a nuke countdown is golden material for her. There are fantastic nail-biting moments in there even if it's just people talking on phones and looking at screens. But this screenplay choice of cutting off the real-time unfolding/build up and having no payoff does not work. The third act especially is a complete pacing killer. I can't tell if it wants to be a lean tense thriller or a satire on bureaucratic protocols. She's (and her MSM jew writer) also weirdly out of touch ideologically, that Obama stand-in feels disconnected from modern politics and she fucked up her attempt at conveying "nuke bad" message because any sane mind coming out of this would want to increase the defense budget instead of reducing nukes. And I'm tired of the pseudo-documentary style with shitflix photography, will date this poorly like Detroit, whereas a film like Strange Days is eternal.
>>
>>215658789
I'm genuinely insulted at being asked to explain what there is to think about other than MAD SHTF survival to do list. It's like being asked to prove pee isn't stored in the balls.

Hey, here's an idea you vapidly retarded cocksucker. Maybe the gigantic fucking plot point about them not knowing where the fucking missile came from and how to respond was something to think about? About whether or not MAD would even be warranted in that fucking situation? About overreaction, retaliation, justification, etc.? Maybe if you weren't huffing whippets whenever you weren't huffing dick you'd be able to recognize and think about one of the key fucking points of the fucking film that it slaps you over your retarded dysgenic fucking head with you dumb little reddit rape offspring.

For me, it took a huge dive the second the president showed. I'm not even 13% as racist as the rest of you chucklefucks, but the pacing immediately fell apart, and the casting was highly questionable. The part where the POTUS asked that random guy in the limo what to do seemed rather explicit in why minorities shouldn't be in leadership positions.

You are missing the point that anyone, whoever it may be, who actively nukes Chicago is doing the world a favor and should be applauded.
To answer your Question more seriously, the evidence for WHO SHOT NOOK would be answered immediately upon detonation, since the signature of the blast is very specifiic to the type of blast created.
To answer cinematically, Southland Tales explored the aftermath of a random nuking much more realistically.
This film was half baked, and Strange Days and Point Break remain the most essential Bigalow films. This was just a condemnation of DEI initiatives presented as a time filler.
>>
1st act is kino
2nd act is pretty good, I liked the scene with the deputy guy and the Russian foreign minister
3rd act shits on all of the tension the last hour has set up with no new info gleaned aside from Cpt. Crozier killing himself and an extended Angel Reese cameo.
Like the other anon said, this kind of Rashomon/The Last Duel style of plot only works if you are shedding new light on character decisions and previous scenes. It doesn’t work if we don’t see anything new about Elba’s character aside from him not wanting to start WW3
>>
>>215659055
>Roll over and die
One (1) city is at risk. If you're not in Chicago, and your aim is to survive, then waiting for actual intel on who fired it, or waiting for an actual full strike is the best option. There's obviously problems with deciding to start a nuclear war with both Russia and China when North Korea might have gone apeshit by itself and you could glass them with less retaliatory damage.
The fact you seemingly can't grasp this really shows just how dumb you are, seriously.

You're not "self-modulating", you're being rational. It isn't a "I'm not going to get pissed mode" being turned on. It's the default.

If you think is reasonable, you are the problem.

Instead we got some OCD woman driving the men to keep searching for OBL every day until they finally do it just to shut her up.
The dramatized raid was some good military ficiton, don't get me wrong, but it is no way to conduct foreign policy. It certainly didn't answer any questions about 9/11, which was allegedly the purpose of finding this guy.

So I actually dislike it but not for obvious reasons. It's actually very well made as far as pacing, atmosphere, and tension go, and the ending being left ambiguous works perfectly fine for me. The main issue is that Kathryn Bigelow clearly has no fucking clue how nuclear wargaming works or how the US would ACTUALLY react in such a situation. If things went down the way they do in the film, there would be absolutely no reason for the US to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the entire world. The single most rational thing to do would be to wait for the missile to hit, find out who's responsible (which would be extremely easy to do given every nuke's radiation pattern can be traced back to where it was made), and only THEN would the US need to consider retaliating. By all means, you'd still need to get the president and essential staff into the bunkers, and probably declare martial law in the meantime, but the way the film unironically suggests that the president would consider, let alone actually choose, full scale nuclear war is so beyond retarded it made it impossible for me to enjoy the film. I suspect the director was trying to communicate an anti-nuke agenda but neglected doing her research. otherwise decent flick
>t. masters in international securities with a focus on nuclear weaponry
>>
>>215661372
and to clarify - as other anons have pointed out, as damaging as a nuke hitting chicago would be, the US' ability to launch a nuclear strike wouldn't damaged in the slightest. There is no rush at all to respond. Keep in mind also that with the entire rest of the world now on high alert, there's no hope at all of a pre-emptive strike on russia and china succeeding at wiping them out before they had time to launch against the US, so it would be total suicide. I really wish the film had made more an attempt to make the possibility of launching the nukes more reasonable (e.g. there being some evidence that russia and china really were planning something against the US or there being some kind of miscommunication with them that makes the president mistakenly think they're gonna launch first), because otherwise the only real message of the film is "nukes are dumb and bad" without any consideration for real world geopolitics.
>>
>>215661204

>>
>>215661372
>>215661424
they address this by saying they can't risk letting more nukes launch in case this was a "test" to determine our cold-bloodedness this. they want to launch first so that they played their hand either as a deterrent or in nuclear armageddon rather than risking passive annihilation
>>
>>215659130
>>215658590
>>215658943
I was gonna say the weirdest thing I got from this movie is that despite ostensibly being some form of pacifist film about the horrors of war and escalation, it ends up coming across like a manifesto for the government being MORE militarised and ready to respond effectively. Hell you specifically see the most competent, action-oriented individuals being the military and the intelligence officials vs all the high up elected officials being portrayed as incompetent and indecisive. then you literally have them showing FEMA as being run by a diversity hire sassy sheboon that the film itself portrays and describes as inexperienced and underqualified for the role she's being put into by the emergency. It's almost surreal. And then the film ends with this super hawkish, god worshipping military dude with the nuclear options book actually seeming like the most decisive individual present vs the literal president. it's kinda surreal
>>
Unironically, why didn't a fighter jet or a turret just shoot the missile down over the ocean?
>hitting a bullet with another bullet
Except the missile is the size of a motorbike and you have insanely sophisticated machinery designed to do exactly that.
>>
>>215661480
I get that they say this in the film but you need to understand how retarded this is in the context of the movie's scenario.
let me show you three possible scenarios
1.
>the US pre-emptively launches all of its nukes at its adversaries for no reason before the nuke even lands
>all of them instantly retaliate before the US' nukes even hit their targets
>america, china, russia and allies all die in nuclear fire
scenario 2.
>the us. tanks the hit and doesn't respond immediately, it waits to find out
>russia and china for some reason decide to launch all their nukes at the US immediately because ??? some bullshit about it making them look weak
>the us instantly launches all of its nukes at russia and china, they all die in nuclear hellfire
scenario 3.
>the US waits for the missile to hit in order to analyse its signature and determine the culprit, only then will they retaliate
>it makes it clear to russia and china that this is their intention
>the culprit is caught and everyone else fucks them for launching a nuke unprovoked
do you see how in the first two scenarios, it's suicide for everyone involved, whilst the third scenario is the only one where china, the us, and russia don't all immediately die in nuclear hellfire?
>>
>>215659308
If you can't differentiate between the real world and online you absolutely have no business being on the internet.
>>
>>215661670
I do, but that assumes a world of totally rational actors. as the movie shows, rationale and rational trust (honor-based) can unravel quickly in scenarios as existentially threatening as actual nuclear launch. you never know what a madman may do, and almost all superpower world leaders have moments of extreme hubris
I agree that it's retarded, and I think the movie agrees that it's retarded. that's why the whole thing is that it's absolutely fucking retarded that we're all negotiating with each other while living in a house that can kill all of us
>>
>>215661653
you clearly do not understand how nukes work. Proper nuclear ICBMs, at least of the range and type displayed in the film, travel high up into space (far, far out of the range of any jet or turret) and then come crashing back down, all of which happens at mach fuck. The only things that can reliably intercept them are super specialised pieces of equipment (like the interceptors we see in the film), which themselves are not very reliable because 1. what you're trying to hit is travelling at near-orbital velocity and 2. it can only really be viably targeted at certain stages in its' flight path (hence why there's only a short window in the film where they try to hit it and then cannot try again once this fails). There are theories that in the terminal phase (i.e. when it's about to hit a city in a straight descent) some of our modern anti-missile systems could still shoot them down; Israel's iron dome iirc managed to get a couple Iranian ballistic missiles during the recent conflict in this way, but many still got through and it was very much a cointoss. but yeah you can't hit a fucking ICBM with a jet or a turret

tldr you can't because it's in fucking space

They're fundamentally different context. Acting the same means you literally have inability to adapt to the environment. Even in the real world you don't act the same way at work as you do at home.

I agree with you that the whole scenario is totally retarded (and I do actually think the movie has a pretty good attempt at showing how miscommunication between great powers can happen at a high level during crises) but I need you to understand that the world is nonetheless not THAT retarded. There are direct contact lines available 24/7 between the heads of state (or acting heads of state) of china, russia, and the US specifically designed for a scenario depicted in the film. Moreover, the US has set protocols for "rogue individual nuke from unknown actor hits the US" that each president, and each of the US' rivals, would be more than aware of and party to. It simply wouldn't happen the way it does in the US. Also the idea that anyone would "struggle to get a hold of" the president in any shape or form in the way depicted in the movie is fucking laughable. the way it would go IRL is
>president immediately contacts russia and china on a joint call and confirms neither claims responsibility
>all the staff taken to bunkers, martial law declared before the nuke even hits + evacuation/shelter alert sent to all the probable cities before it's even confirmed it's chicago
>president agrees with russia/china that he's going to go on high alert/readiness as a precaution but will take no action beyond this until the nuke hits and they determine who is responsible from the radiation signature
>everyone then waits, in a high state of tension, but with no further nukes being fired (unless either russia or china really did want to start a nuclear war in which case everyone is fucked either way)
it would not go any other way. Putin literally phonecalled trump in the oval office at a moment's notice the other week. in general everything in the movie actually happens much more slowly than it would irl.

you're justifying being racist and/or moronically hostile and/or other forms of retarded while anonymous as an apparently healthy learned social behavior in your world
that in itself explains why you're trying to justify it
the fact that that's the environment is the sad part. people here are mostly in their 20s or older. it's subhuman shit

>the US has set protocols for "rogue individual nuke from unknown actor hits the US" that each president, and each of the US' rivals, would be more than aware of and party to
I hope that's true
>the idea that anyone would "struggle to get a hold of" the president in any shape or form in the way depicted in the movie is fucking laughable
yeah, this contributed to a weak third act. it made more sense for him to be going in and out if he's in some sort of absolutely next-gen safety bunker
I'm not sure that the scenario you outlined is the only way it goes. that's the rational way, sure, but when world's end is literally minutes away, it's just not the same as talking about it casually on a comfy Sunday night. people break over white-collar work deadlines. the sheer terror that would come with an actual nuclear launch is unfathomable. things can definitely go real bad

Hopefully one day you'll make some actual friends who don't act like complete faggots when you get into a heated argument with them.

I completely get that, but see that's kind of the key of my issue with a film. This is EXACTLY what good nuclear drama should have at its core - the dangers of misunderstandings, the risks of escalation, the stakes of nuclear war vs people acting like retards in an emergency, all that is great stuff. My issue is that the film does a bad job of presenting these dilemmas in the first place. I.e. if the film had presented a realistic way for the misunderstanding between the US, china, and russia to unfold, or a realistic reason for the president to seriously consider nuking them, then I'd have loved the film. But it doesn't do that - it presents this ludicrous scenario, incorrectly portrays how the US would react, and then suddenly pretends like the president has no choice but to seriously consider nuking russia and china, which WITHIN THE SCENARIO OF THE FILM, he does not. Do you get what I mean? Caps are for emphasis not anger btw.

I definitely see your point. I'm of the camp that it was a decent film (like 6/10), but with each act being weaker than the prior. it really should have stayed in the situation room with Rebecca Ferguson. they could've just showed other POVs/rooms throughout for key moments. the repetitive acts made it feel half-baked unfortunately

I have those friends, that's how I know anons need to breathe lol

>>215662391
I'd agree with that. The first act is so tightly presented and well made that I could almost forgive the retarded geopolitics. The second and third not adding anything just rubbed it in until it became unbearable. >>215656543 makes a great point too about the second and third acts not really adding much of substance at all. The one saving grace of the movie for me were the scenes of the military guys doing their jobs directly (specifically the bomber pilots and the interceptor missile base guys), they were somewhat unrealistic but I liked the focus on service personnel "just doing their jobs" in the face of existential horror. wish they'd spent more time on the moral dilemma of the B2 pilots.

Anyone with perfect defensive measures against nukes has less to fear from using them. it also prompts a military arms race in space to undermine your defensive measures which is an inherently offensive action which itself can escalate to war which can become nuclear in nature.

Its also an insanely expensive system that would only really be justified to create if you planned on actually using it relatively soon.

>>215662669
surely we can build in space in secret. elon has all the satellites up there. just launch in american airspace in the middle of some desert or something and issue a curfew around all the surrounding zip codes
>>
>>215662730
No, the major players all have systems that track anything getting launched, radars, satellites, etc. Any sudden and unannounced rocket launch triggers the kind of "Oh shit what is going on" that we see in the first stages of the events of this movie where they have to figure out what it is, where its going, who launched, and so on. Most of the time its a false alarm and nothing happens, every so often its North Korea launching dud missile over Japan or Russia launching conventional warheads at Ukraine and people have to figure out if its a first strike scenario as soon as the launch is detected.

And somehow one of the better short films.

Anyone else think it's weird how Rebecca Ferguson has been completely slotted into Jessica Chastain's role in Hollywood? Even down to the mommy aspect.

Does it actually look and feel like a real movie or is it some typical Netflixy looking slop?

The point of a Rashomon story can be whatever it wants to be. Despite common perception, each of the stories in Rashomon was an explicit self-serving except the final one. There was no 'percieved the situation differently'.

The point in AHOD is to show the perspectives of the people at the bottom rung, the middle rung, and the top rung, and how the conclusion is the same regardless.

People can have bad days especially when they're chronically deprived of REM sleep and someone is acting like a smarty pants while missing the whole point of the movie. In such cases channeling anger to throw in ad hominems is the only way to sum up enough energy to reply.

This would just be a retread of Dr. Strangelove and other, better nuclear films.
