As the current United States political climate remains ever so divided, Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’ horrifically frames domestic tensions between a fractured United States government and its people. Much like the film’s subject matter, audiences remain divided in their perception of the film’s portrayal and warning of a second American civil war!

What has become a hotbed of online discussion, conspiracy theories and even fear of real-life political violence occuring during the 2024 presidential election year? Civil War portrays a near-future dystopian United States, dismantled by an authoritarian three-term president!
In light of these mixed feelings over what looks to be the most politically controversial film of the year, here are some fan reactions to ‘Civil War’!
CIVIL WAR is a breathless, nerve shredding thriller that starts with a bang and never lets up. Magnificent sound design kept the speakers and seats shaking. Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny are aces. An unmissable experience in IMAX. More next week on @mrwillw! #CivilWarMovie pic.twitter.com/2qWsnXCuTo

#CivilWarMovie was boring as heck.
Missing a lot of substance, heart, & character for what feels like a shallow exploration of the impact of war, with some artsy shots.
Good performances & politically neutral, but bland AF.
Don’t recommend, 3/10. pic.twitter.com/ulLEU1NW8L

So the #CivilWarMovie was just a moronic liberal wet dream. I wouldn’t even bother with it. No reasoning as to why, just bashes the right without saying it outright and promoting woke bullshit fantasies. Honestly it encourages and glorifies leftist violence.

Those expecting all out action will be disappointed.
Those expecting some sort of Democrats Vs Republicans face off will be disappointed.
Those expecting a meticulously crafted snapshot of journalists operating in a war zone are in for a captivating experience.#CivilWarMovie pic.twitter.com/zp7oWA6SjO

Just saw #CivilWarMovie … great movie, a lil too real of what could easily happen in current America. So they should side categorize it as horror. Cause I luv war movies but this one made me feel a way… pic.twitter.com/4MLuoj6b1I

sorry guys but I thought #CivilWarMovie was pretty remarkable
a sickingly intense roadtrip through a fictional USA that had my stomach literally churning throughout
for me, its setting, avoidance of overt exposition and lack of on the nose political stance was the whole point pic.twitter.com/7TMMkQwntG

#CivilWarMovie is 1hr & 49min of pure intensity. One of the scariest movies I have seen in a while just based off how quickly it can become reality. Insanely gritty, stunning cinematography, bone shaking sound design, and top tier acting. A truly haunting film 94/100 pic.twitter.com/L1YQW81CO0
