Wow this was boring and pointless no explanations for any of the sides and Texas and California on the same side makes no sense ! It's really a film about combat and war journalists that could have been shot in any combat area . They chose the USA in a pretend civil war knowing the way the country is currently divided would sell a lot of tickets . Absolutely dishonest filmmaking and just a greedy money grab by Hollywood D bags and lazy film makers ! Used to like Alex Garland but this garbage makes me realize he's just a hack and a sell out looking for easy lazy cash . If you want to watch a film about combat photography this might be ok for You . Although you will care nothing about these one dimensional characters and no plot ! Worst film I have seen in a long time !

So this is yet another Jordan Peele film that is an absolute nothing . I mean it's trying to be so many other things but completely misses the mark in all ways that it could possibly miss the mark . We sat through this completely and utterly boring film with the hopes that at some point it would get good and unfortunately that never happened ! The characters were terrible and completely one dimensional the girl over acted every scene please get acting lessons . Her brother just mumbles lines so much so we needed to turn on subtitles . This guy Jordan Peele thinks he is being smart or witty and writing great films but he really misses the mark . He is still light years away of writing anything even closely as good or in the same league with greats like M Knight Shymalan . AVOID THIS FILM DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME !!!

This is an example of what's so prevalent today in film making . Boring lazy scripts drawn out in episodes to make up content for Netflix or whatever organization putting it out . I'm sure there is a cookie cutter of characters every story must have regardless if they really need to be in the story or not lots of man on man action and other stuff that the ones in charge demand must be in the story and characters or else we won't buy it ! So you have writers and directors instead of making the best possible story they are falling over each other to see who can put the most aspects social Justice into the story and characters with the hopes of getting picked up by the big streaming services ! So you just have writers putting out scripts to cover all the bases that their handlers require . This 1899 mess is boring lazy preachy and so long and unnecessarily drawn out a waste of time and after having watched the same type of cookie cutter show on Netflix the last three times I'm canceling . I will watch old movies or some foreign stuff for entertainment . It's painfully apparent to me the guys who made Dark (which was great) had way too much "outside interference " to make another great film . Just another lame boring cookie cutter includes all the talking points of the moment series/movie churned out by these streaming services run by execs who only care about quantity not quality !
