Forget the gritty realism and quippy one-liners that so often define the modern action genre, War Machine is proudly, almost guilelessly old-fashioned.

The pleasures of Netflix’s sci-fi action movie War Machine are simple, straightforward, and gut-level. There’s a strong thread of competence porn here, and it covers both what’s happening on screen, and what’s clearly going on behind it.

It’s not a movie built to withstand big questions, but for a high-octane action thriller, it’s a lot more fun when it goes off the rails.

It's man vs. machine in Netflix's disposable but visceral sci-fi action thriller.

This testosterone-fueled throwback sci-fi action saga emphasizes brawn over brains while failing to cover any meaningful new territory.

I really enjoyed War Machine. It reminded me of the kind of action movies that are just fun to watch from start to finish. The pacing, action scenes, and overall vibe had that classic action-movie feel that keeps you engaged the whole time. If you’re a fan of action films, this one definitely delivers. I really hope they make a sequel because the story and characters feel like they could easily continue. I’d absolutely watch the next one. 🎬🔥

'War Machine' is an undeniably entertaining, action-packed sci-fi thriller, bolstered by an electric lead performance from Alan Ritchson.

Okay.. No lectures, no nonsense. Just a decent story turned into action and pounding until the credits roll. Movies like this movie has been sorely missed for far too long.

It’s like The Predator, same plot, but with worse acting and a much lamer and more boring predator, a corny machine with the same targetting and weapons but slow. Pretty shitty knockoff

Well, that was rough. Horrible acting, crappy special effects, and a dumb storyline. You know there will be a sequel!
