[Givethanks]

Watching this right now, so far it looks promising.

Went in blind. What a let down. The first perspective had me hooked but every time they went back in time, I got progressively more uninvested. We don't need 3-4 different perspectives on the build-up smh. Wasted a great start to put out some mid

Creh didn't even tell his daughter what was up, he just walked off the roof

Would you want to know you are ten minutes from being nuked?

Of course the assumption is it's too late to get out of the city.

First off, fukk this movie. Waste of time

Spoiler

2nd, I had been seeing this on billboards around Chicago for the last few months and was trying to figure out if it was Denzel but it’s actually Idris Elba lol. fukked up that a portrayal of the annihilation of your city is plastered on billboards on ya daily commute lol.

I wish the movie would’ve ended with some kind of conclusion on if the misspelling actually hit or not. But I do understand the meaning of the movie, we’re existing in a volatile world that can explode at any moment

Like i said I like this movie but I understand the type that get frustrated with movies like this

House Of Dynamite is what I called a tension movie. The goal is to make you feel like shyt during and after the movie. Bigelow wants you to dwell in the moment and sit staring at your TV after it's ended, while considering how delicate all of our lives are

Unfortunately tension movies ain't for everybody, as we can see by the reaction to this one

My only question for people that hate the movie is what were you expecting or wanting to see? Because the way I see it is not much really changes if we see the nuke land. Did you want to see an explosion? People staring at the screen like ? I'm not even being funny I really wanna know what nikkas wanted

It would feel different about the film if we only got 1 perspective (probably lasting 80-90 minutes instead of 110) with the tension continuing to build until Idris' final decision gets cut.

But choosing the reach "peak tension" 3 times from different perspectives felt ultimately useless as the second and third acts didn't add anything to the plot or to the characters.

The first act already establishes everything you need: there's no real back up plan for nuclear war, you only got less of an hour to decide to end the world in minutes or "wait and see" if you get lucky, governments and military are made up of human beings so shyt will get chaotic and unreliable as possible, the burden of knowledge and decision making, etc. So by going back to it twice, you don't really get more tension, you just get more eager to know what the fukk happens.

So yeah, this should've either made 1 big act where we find out more how clueless/guess heavy a situation like this would be or you do this 3 acts-3 perspective gimmick and you give some sort of resolution. Seeing Chicago get blown up isn't needed it but getting worried about nuclear warfare can be done by telling you the consequences of it. "Surrender or die by suicide", well, tell me what surrendering would mean or what "suicide" would. If you don't wanna tell/show that, then don't tease it 3 fukking times, just do it once
