a review of

This does a really great job of asking "What was the point?" or "What was it all for?" without giving a clear answer, if any. I can see why people won't like this movie, but to be a fly on the wall for 90 minutes was tense and exhilarating, and in IMAX with big sound... my time was well spent. (Some will compare this to Civil War because of Alex Garland's involvement, but I really think this is Ray Mendoza's story, and that it's based on memories of a reality that happened and not a semi-realistic near-future fiction gives this less that can be mentally discarded; no easy way to suspend disbelief here.)
