60 of 213 · most liked firsta funny MCU thing is that they can recast War Machine or give titles like Captain America and Black Panther to new people, but Jonathan Majors as Kang was apparently so electric and memorable in the 1(?) movie he was in that they couldn’t simply do it for that character
neutral · AI labelView post →I was lucky enough to see a preview of @manmademoon.bsky.social ‘s Rogue Trooper” film last night. I can confirm it stays true to the original vibe with some evolution: 90% original 10% “War Machine”? Some great humour and dramatic/cinematic set pieces. Well done Duncan! We loved it! 🫡
positive · AI labelView post →The charisma of Alan Ritchson carries the sci-fi action movie War Machine across the finish line like a wounded brother in arms. Our review: bit.ly/46Tu9tj
neutral · AI labelView post →Please share! Because of the action the UK government just took against Palestine Action, the director of To Kill A War Machine has dropped the link so you can buy tickets in the UK or download the film. Let’s get this global! tokillawarmachine.com
neutral · AI labelView post →Seeing this article really flipped me out. Michael Hastings was a good friend of mine. He's the one who brought down the 4-star general after the piece he did for Rolling Stone Magazine. The movie War Machine was about it. He was then working on a story about the CIA and his car blew up.

neutral · AI labelView post →Husband has correctly summed up Netflix's new War Machine movie with Alan Ritchson as "Reacher Vs MechaReacher."
neutral · AI labelView post →Alan Ritchson’s new Netflix movie War Machine is basically Predator meets Metal Gear, and he’s phenomenal in it. Delivers an A list movie star performance full of vulnerability and anxiety while outdoing Schwarzenegger physically, that will never get recognized cause it’s in a streaming B movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Netflix's sci-fi action movie WAR MACHINE starring Alan Ritchson is getting a sequel. Patrick Hughes will return to direct. War Machine is one of the Top 10 most popular original movies in Netflix history.
neutral · AI labelView post →the movie "War Machine" is flawed but its a great example of toxic positivity
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night, as news emerged about a possible ban of Palestine Action, Netpol was supporting a screening of new independent film, "To Kill A War Machine", which sympathetically documents PA's evolution and impact. This is a film everyone needs to watch. It's premiere is 18 July tokillawarmachine.com
neutral · AI labelView post →I just rewatched Robot Jox (1990). It's a pretty ropey #scifi movie with terrible acting but some cool model work in parts. Joe Haldeman wrote the screenplay, but sounds like he wasn't too happy with the final outcome. It's fun though. Way better than War Machine anyway 😀 #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️
negative · AI labelView post →Y’all have convinced me on Brad Pitt. In fact, I remembered a movie, War Machine, based on the story of Gen Stanley McChrystal, which would have been great except for the fact that Pitt played the character as an idiot.
negative · AI labelView post →War Machine Review: The charisma of Alan Ritchson carries this sci-fi action movie across the finish line like a wounded brother in arms. bit.ly/40eLlWh
neutral · AI labelView post →Nothing to see here. Just a monster movie voiced by the generational trauma of the American War Machine murding almost 200k non combatants so 70 years later some dickless wonder can confidently say politics don't exist in Godzilla films. #Godzilla
neutral · AI labelView post →Took me three days to watch that new movie War Machine on Netflix Striking to me how Army propaganda films feel like the circle jerk they are these days, even when aliens are involved Honestly there’s an analysis in there I should spend some time percolating
negative · AI labelView post →Watched the new Alan Richardson movie last night War Machine. And let me tell you this... I would rather pull my own teeth out than watch it again! And I've actually pulled out my own teeth so I know what I'm talking about!
negative · AI labelView post →An absolute privilege to attend tonight's preview screening of "To Kill A War Machine", the new film by @rainbow-collective.bsky.social on the direct action campaign by @palaction.bsky.social against Israeli arms company Elbit Systems
neutral · AI labelView post →War Machine is a Predator-but-Mech propaganda movie with awful writing but cool effects, and it’s crossing that line of intense stupidity where it becomes actually enjoyable.
neutral · AI labelView post →WAR MACHINE is okay. Terrible time to release a rah-rah military movie, but at least it's Reacher vs. a robot.
neutral · AI labelView post →With a new movie on Netflix called War Machine, I recommend the OTHER movie on Netflix called War Machine, which is a shockingly accurate adaptation of Michael Hastings' definitive book on war in Afghanistan/Stanley McChrystal, THE OPERATORS. Pitt is a bit broad in it, but good movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →War Machine je ustvari remake prvog Predatora. Gledljivo kao neki akcijski film, inače ništa posebno. Obsession i Backrooms su odlični, Disclosure Day zabavan. #LastFourWatched
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s a new Netflix movie with Reacher called War Machine that is basically Battleship mixed with Predator on land with a bunch of guys trying to pass RASP. Extremely stupid highly recommend

neutral · AI labelView post →I had this hilarious idea after watching the movie, War Machine, last night: ginormous alien #mech pouring tea perfectly… #art #digitalDrawing #silly #quicksketch Astounding what these robots can do nowadays! 🤣😜
neutral · AI labelView post →What if PREDATOR starred Alan Ritchson, and instead of fighting an alien, he fought a giant mecha? Also, what if it wasn't smart? My review of WAR MACHINE - a functional and kinda fun sci-fi b-movie knockoff which could've been great, but chose to be rah-rah instead - is at @thewrap.com!
neutral · AI labelView post →War Machine is an odd movie. It feels like someone got hold of a fairly generic but fun sci fi action flick then decided what it really needed to be was a heavy handed US Army recruitment pitch.
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't believe Netflix has two films called WAR MACHINE and one is a mostly great, shockingly accurate to the detailed real world reporting of the book The Operators by the late, great Michael Hastings, and the other is a C-list Army movie with Reacher.
neutral · AI labelView post →watching War Machine with Jai Courtney and Alan Ritchson. this movie is so cheesy, but so far fun at least.
neutral · AI labelView post →ZOOTOPIA 2 debuted with a monster 1.7B minutes viewed in its first five days on Disney+, per Nielsen. That's nearly double the #2 movie that week, WAR MACHINE on Netflix.
neutral · AI labelView post →War Machine (2026) is a very dumb, very enjoyable scifi action movie that somehow managed to get a lot of the little details right in ways I didn’t expect
positive · AI labelView post →At the end of the new Netflix movie, War Machine, the hero returns to his Colorado based training regiment with the secret for defeating the Global problem, and the CC says "get this intel to CENTCOM!" And at first I was like, that doesn't make sense, but I get it now.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie "War Machine" is an accurate depiction of what it's like to go up against an Automaton Warstrider without AT or thermite grenades. Eff those things
neutral · AI labelView post →Something about the title War Machine works for Netflix; this is their second movie of that title in nine years. This 2026 version is a dull Predator rip-off; a loving tribute to US military know-how can only land badly when they're bombing schools in Minab. 2/5 film-authority.com/2026/03/07/w...
negative · AI labelView post →Alan Ritchson is in an Army movie Calle War Machine about fighting alien robots or something. I'm gonna go ahead and call this a part of the Reacherverse
neutral · AI labelView post →Netpol is supporting the launch of a crowdfunding campaign to enable community screenings of "To Kill A War Machine", the new film on Palestine Action. There's a special preview on 20 June in east London www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/to-killl-a... @claptoncfc.co.uk @rainbow-collective.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →This Thursday we're screening the documentary To Kill A War Machine in the STP Discord at 7pm UK time. The film is about the direct action group Palestine Action, who take action to dismantle the factories that send weapons to Israel and are set to be banned by the UK govt under antiterrorism laws.
neutral · AI labelView post →Actually, I take it back. "WAR MACHINE" isn't a military sci-fi adventure movie; it's a slasher movie. Alan Ritchson is literally a trauma-ridden "final girl" pursued by an unstoppable killing machine (literally) brutally murdering everyone around him until he finally finds its weakness.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: I am plagiarized in the previous War Machine movie starring Brad Pitt. In the first five minutes!
neutral · AI labelView post →I have experience: I was an uncredited consultant on War Machine, Brad Pitt's McChrystal/Afghanistan movie. Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't mention that... not a great movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Found the robot! Movie is War Machine btw
neutral · AI labelView post →New movie on Netflix called War Machine & after watching the trailer One can take the plot as a (not subtle) allegory re: the fight of humans vs AI It looks like it might be an extremely by-the-numbers but earnest throwback kinda action movie If anyone watches it, let me know if it's fun 🤘🏼
neutral · AI labelView post →Feels like a job for one of the lesser Hemsworths. But I also just watched that War Machine movie on Netflix with Alan Ritchson and let me tell you. That movie FELT like it was written for Statham.
neutral · AI labelView post →in 2017, Netflix released the Brad Pitt movie, War Machine. In 2026, Netflix will release the Alan Ritchson movie, War Machine. This really pisses me off. Be creative. Come up with a title. It’s honestly not that hard

neutral · AI labelView post →He's the one who brought down General McChrystal. The movie War Machine with Brad Pitt was based on the Rolling Stone piece Hastings did on McChrystal. He then started to dig into the CIA when his car mysteriously blew up.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's ridiculous dude movie is War Machine (2026). Army Rangers BUT NOW WITH ALIENS. Also the story beats are so far beautifully predictable.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Mercy (2026) last night. It's a ludicrous techno-thriller that gets compared to Minority Report, but Mercy isn't anywhere near that level. It's not a particularly good film, but has enough decent bits to make it watchable. It's better than War Machine anyway. #Filmsky #Moviesky #scifi 📽️
negative · AI labelView post →Settling in to watch “War Machine” on Netflix. I can’t wait to be delighted by a terrible sci-fi movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Had the house to myself yesterday so I watched Netflix's "WAR MACHINE." I knew nothing about it apart from the blurb on the Netflix selection screen. It's rah rah military propaganda, but despite that I enjoyed it. It was a bit gorier than I expected, but not unwatchably so.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching War Machine on Netflix - Stars the guy from Reacher. Kind of a predator knock off? So far not bad for a straight to streaming streaming action movie
neutral · AI labelView post →On pourrait résumer #WarMachine à un crossover entre Full Metal Jacket, Predator et Metal Gear Solid. Si le film n'atteint jamais le niveau de ses modèles, il n'en est pas moins un gros film d'action très solide et assez prenant.
positive · AI labelView post →Okay. “War Machine” is a completely ridiculous movie. This makes it tier 1 entertainment, right up there with “Battleship”
