    Interesting look at a worthwhile exercise

    There are clearly people throwing 1s at this who haven't actually watched it. Even the longer written reviews with low ratings are not motivated by the quality of the documentary or the importance of the subject, but by partisan defensiveness.

    The presence of retired service members and serious former government officials who served under administrations of both parties adds weight to the simulation. The documentary, while not perfect, is generally well done and offers a good look at how it progressed.

    Obviously this is framed in relation to January 6, and how you feel about that is going to color your perspective on the doc. But if you take the subject seriously, don't let the bad faith review bombing and conspiracy theorists scare you away. Watch and judge for yourself.

    MUST SEE PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING BY DEEP STATE OPERATIVES

    Prepare yourself for the October surprise and crack down by the police state. In their own words. Top war mongers work to fake a reason to jail protesters and blame victims of the state.

    To be ready for the next FBI false flag "January 6th" operation see the plotters fantasy of infiltrating religious and political groups to set them up. Also see the Johns Hopkins Center & Bill Gates video "Event 201" a pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated the plandemic a month before the release of the Sars Cov 2 enhanced bat bioweapon in Wuhan. The1968 British documentary WAR GAME by the same name about a Vietnamese nuclear war with England! Also watch any training film on military & police crushing free speech and anti-war protests.

    Not Really a War Game

    A rather bizarre attempt to play a war game by making it a political exercise, instead of an actual unscripted war game exercise.

    The fact that the producers are blatantly attempting to make this movie about Jan 6 is bewildering along with their effort to discredit the military, especially the general who thinks that the military should be purged. There is plenty propaganda to make viewers cringe because of it's shamelessness.

    Some people might enjoy the theme, but most people will find it boring, contrived, inorganic, and missed opportunity to have a real dialogue about what makes the US unique, a diversity of ideals working towards a single purpose.

    January 6th The Progressive Boogeyman

    Documentaries like this only reinforce that progressives have created a boogeymen in their mind about the January 6th protesters. January 6th was a political protest that turned into a riot by a complete lack of security at the Capital. A real "insurrection" would have included armed combatants and the result would have been a bloodbath. The fact that this never happened (thank God) should tell everyone what they really need to know about "Documentaries" like this.

    The bias of the producers and their identity politics devalues whatever aims this documentary was trying to achieve. In many cases I found the responses proposed by the former Democratic party office holders acting in this to be more disturbing than what they were trying to warn against. In multiple cases they attempted to justify the censorship of free speech, the invasion of privacy of U. S. citizens with illegal wire tapping and the declaration of Martial law.

    I don't have much more to add that was not already mentioned in the 4 star review, "This Meeting Could Have Been an Email: "War Game" Is a Stuffy, Boring, and Self-Righteous Attempt at Establishment Agitprop" only that for the love of God someone tell Heidi Heitkamp she is not the POTUS.

    Interesting And Compelling, But Unclear As To Its Fruitfulness

    An undeniably entertaining and alarming documentary detailing a war game about a repeat of the January 6th 2021 insurrection in Washington. What it reveals is, to a certain extent, both reassuring and alarming. There are clearly aspects of American - and this will be mirrored in governments across the world - civil leadership that are not as grounded in the real concerns and practices of people who could potentially pose a real threat. I wasn't fully convinced that some of the failures of leadership in the game were shown to have convincingly serious enough ramifications. And whilst a report on the exercise has been shared at the highest level of the American government, the film ends with a sort of misty-eyed patriotism which suggests to me that there's a real danger of this being another exercise in liberal elites talking to themselves.
