War Game Reviews

Feb 19, 2025

There's a good reason for the US to simulate insurrection scenarios, especially worst case ones when the present government tries to erase the existence of locally grown terrorist cells, but this was a far cry from a worst case scenario. Instead we got an easily resolved "hostage" scenario that seemed to resolve itself completely without consequence and a president, that at the end of the day, got to control the narrative competely. I wonder if the game had been run by completely third party non-US affiliated designers if this might have allieviated the problem, there seemed to be too much of a "make sure the good guys win" underwriting to the story. Insurrections that actually go ahead are messy. People die, affiliations switch, and active leaders go from ally to foe. Something the left (including myself) often does is underestimate, and this movie is one big pat on the back. I hope that this is merely the insurrection lite scenario that happened to have a film crew attaché.

A thrilling, and at times terrifying, verite documentary.

Very impactful. Everyone should watch it before the election. What can happen to the U.S. democracy.

Interesting how all the MAGA don't loike the movie, maybe it's because they are all keyboard warriors and in real life, don't like to consider what would happen if they actually try real violence and another Civil War. Like the South, they will lose and instead of arguing for their "cause" they cry about the movie

Terrible Movie! Looks like the non biased scenario bleed into wet dream of murdering Make America Great Again citizens. The hatred on patriotism from some of the EX-highest members of our leadership is a sickening wake up call to how long our country has been infiltrated with Hatred for American Citizens. 1st nations know what happens when our government decides we are criminals for things like dancing, they declared us enemies, take away our weapons, and kill us ALL! Never Forget Wounded Knee

This movie is riveting! I am telling everyone to see it. I don’t want to say too much about the plot line but there is a visible ticking clock that ratcheted up my heartbeat until the end.

Real people playing real people. Fascists are real too and must be defeated.

A warning of what could happen if we don’t get out the Democratic vote.

This is a cautionary tale that must be seen & taken seriously by everyone who does not want a repeat of Jan 6, 2021 Superbly acted, gripping & timely & should be availableeverywhere before Election Day

The new 5th column is social media. What a frightening look in how misinformation could be used to sow discord and to disrupt the certification of an election.

I liked the idea better than the film. For a film with a 6 hour clock War Game took leisurely digressions into back stories.

This film is a bit unerving when you watch the complexity of decision making. The use of real people in place of actors lends to its credibility and impact. The danger of a repitition of Jan 6, is made plain by the issues that are raised by its participants in their roles. This is a film that every high school civics class should include.
