(ESP-ENG) War Machine | Military and aliens, lethal things - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.

Alan Ritchson is an actor who rose to fame with Reacher, a top Prime Video series where he portrays an "invincible" man trying to take down any organization or individual in the criminal underworld. Now, this same actor takes on another role, but with the same characteristics as Reacher: quiet, proud, with the belief that he can do everything on his own, and above all, yes, invincible, but to the nth degree. Netflix brings us an action-fantasy film that I thought was going to go one way, but which ended up going in a very different direction from the premise of the opening scenes. A soldier with post-traumatic stress after being in Afghanistan and losing important people—what could possibly go wrong?
We have this soldier, whose name isn't mentioned, who decides to train to become a U.S. Ranger, an elite infantry force dedicated to all kinds of operations and deployments worldwide. He has his reasons for joining after serving in the Middle East. The thing is, as expected, this training is extremely complex, revealing this guy's mental vulnerability. He reaches the final week, with a field exercise being the last thing they have to do, but to everyone's surprise, things don't go as planned. Deep in those mountains, something is lurking.


Believing it was part of their final training, they realize there's a kind of demolition machine that, upon detecting their presence, begins to annihilate them one by one. It's at that moment they understand something is wrong. This machine possesses advanced tracking and attack intelligence, making it impossible for ordinary men to defeat it. The film's plot revolves around these soldiers trying to escape this thing that fell from the sky, about which nothing is known. Indeed, the only thing known is that they began falling in various parts of the world and automatically started attacking. The film doesn't provide any further information; I don't know if this is because there's an idea for a sequel or if that was never the intention.
As far as action goes, it delivers. I think everything that happens around the attacks from this machine, the anxiety of escaping, hiding, and of course, trying to get everyone to their destination alive, is what makes it visually entertaining. We can't expect realism when it's alien technology driving the events of the film. Obviously, there are some very exaggerated elements, but that's what makes it fiction. To give you an idea, the film reminded me a bit of Predator at times; it has that atmosphere of hunter and hunted, and the obvious disadvantage of being at a significant disadvantage against whatever that machine is. Personally, I wasn't bored; it has its tense moments in the plot, but it didn't surprise me either. I think it's a very forgettable film, just another one of the bunch.


There are some really silly things, like how they defeat those machines. Something so lethal can't be overcome in the way they do it. The cast is decent; Dennis Quaid, Jai Courtney, and Esai Morales are some of the actors—good names for a not-so-cool movie. I give it a 6/10 because at least it's entertaining; it's the kind of movie you watch on a Sunday. Some things don't make much sense, but it's watchable. You can find it on Netflix. I've included the trailer below.

¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well folks, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed it.
¡Hugs to everyone, see you next time!

Es normal que películas como éstas tengan su desenlace final tan absurdo, pero bueno, falta de originalidad, quién sabe. Suena interesante igualmente, sobre todo porque mencionas que su trama es similar a la de Predator y no es la primera vez que leo esto de War Machine en esta comunidad. Tendré que darle una oportunidad.
Buena reseña.
