Civil War (theatrical) New war movie written and directed by Alex
Garland.  The movie is set in the near future where the United States is
at the end of a brutal civil war. The plot follows 4 journalist as the
make their way from New York to D.C. for what they hope will be an
interview with the President. I went in not knowing what to expect
other than it was getting great reviews. I was taken aback by just how
intense this movie is. It's like the opening of Saving Private Ryan
mixed with the opening Farm House scene in Inglorious Basterds or pretty
much any Tarantino flick where you are on the edge of your seat waiting
to see who will die. This is almost non stop action and when the action
does stop, then it becomes an edge of your seat thriller. I think this
movie probably gave me PTSD! I also noticed, and I almost never notice
this, but the sound mix on this movie is one of the best I've ever heard
in a theater. This movie is definitely one for the theater, in the
biggest screen with the best sound possible.
