No way the President just sits in Marine One by himself with a Colonel and makes that call.
Pretty sure they said Lt Commander, which would be an O-4, so even better lol

frick that ending.
That movie could have gone another 2 hrs and I was locked in.
Then they end with nothing.
Yep. Seems obvious he was about to call in one of the two targets Reeves recommended, but we didn't even get that much.
We don't even know where those targets were. Presumably North Korea but not certain.
Annoying end after a great start.

Seems a reoccurring theme with Hollywood in recent years. From Lost, Game of Thrones, How I Met Your Mother... all sorts of projects. Writer can't bring home a story that even makes any sense.

Which made the Angel Reese cameo just perfect. They missed the ending like she misses a layup.

What a fricking waste of time. Jesus Christ

At least show the impact, or let us know it was a computer hack/glitch and there was no missile. That is the clever point though says Hollywood 
what a waste of time.

Liked how it portrayed it from different perspectives.
Reminded me of the movie Vantage point, it was good the conclusion I came up with is the nuke hit Chicago, and he listened to the seal and used the plan that wiped out all of our enemy's and they wiped us out as well. His wife survived because she was in Africa and no one wasted a nuke on that place.

I forgot about that movie. I remember starting off thinking it was a good idea then was mad at the end because I felt like I paid to watch the same scenes over and over

The first 1/3 was absolutely fantastic I thought. One of the better 35-40 mins of a war thriller I’ve seen in years.
Great job of building up the tension and showing the enormous weight that is on the people in charge if shite like that were to happen. I can totally see plenty of people in those rooms losing it, having panic attacks, and crying regardless of training if our GBIs fail like they did. You’re faced with either global nuclear annihilation by firing back or sacrificing 10 million ppl to avoid it. That’s quite the dilemma.
They should’ve stayed with Ft Greely and Rebecca Fergusons perspective for the whole movie.
Why was Moses Ingram even in the movie?
But we do have other hail Mary’s we’d try after those GBIs failed. I didn’t agree with everyone just saying frick, it’s over. We’ve got other things you can try.
Last 3rd was a joke. Should’ve just said frick it and ended it with us launching our entire arsenal at everyone else and cutting to black after showing all the explosions from space.

Her, Angel Reese, and the first lady could have been cut entirely with zero impact to the plot.. but.. then you have no black women.

So glad I read the spoilers on this one before watching. Will probably watch the 35-40 minutes and turn it off.

Maybe… It just seems like there’s no clear point of origin. No one knows who launched it, and the foreign countries are reacting to our posturing, not to an actual ICBM heading for Chicago. We see the intercept missiles launch, but never the missile itself or the impact. The only thing shown is the computerized defense tracking screen. It felt very much like WarGames, which made me wonder at the end if the missile ever existed at all or if it was just a computer aberration.
Posted on 10/29/25 at 6:25 pm to cssamerican
Almost surprised they didn't play into that possibility, at least for a throw away line. But then that may lessen the OMG! factor if the audience considered that a possibility. We had no visual verification of missile. And the chance it was an 'inside job', an implanted program or glitch also wasn't explored too much.
Fear of the unknown was the key element in all this.

We watched it this evening. It was strange, we did not love it.

This movie needs an immediate sequel titled: "M.A.D."
It picks up immediately where this one left off, as in that very scene of the buses entering the bunker. I don't even need to see the explosion, but just more POV scenes of the same teams reacting to the destruction, carrying out the president's "well done" order, and reacting to (presumably) North Korea and the world's response.

Such wasted potential. Was all in. Was even all on in the different perspectives through the same timeline.
But god ending there was an awful decision.

Angel Reese, I think we all can agree, was the worst part about all of this.
Posted on 11/2/25 at 7:43 am to wareaglepete
Decided to watch even though I know the ending. Five minutes in and we have a girl boss humiliating an intern for ordering breakfast just to show how important and powerful she is and the president going to a WNBA event
Netflix is just so predictable
