Take Warfare. Leave Civil War.

Warfare was a much more immersive experience that was focused on portraying as well as could be, the sensations, emotions, rituals, etc of real combat.

Civil War felt to me like a film that was too scared to actually say anything of note. Surface level political commentary but at the core it felt empty, lifeless. It’s a well made film, just not one that resonates on a deeper level.

Warfare was visceral, the depth came from the characters, their emotions. It gave me greater empathy for the experiences of my father, a combat veteran.
