I am not generally into war movies but I find that I tend to enjoy many of the movies from the studio, A24. And this trailer looks intriguing. It is supposed to be based on all real experiences from 2006 in Iraq, directed by an actual veteran. What do you think? Will you watch this?

Isn't A24 the same outfit that released Civil War, which I thought was pretty meh, despite the marketing hype. Some jarheads I know were entertained by it, but that's not saying much tbh.

I like modern war movies mostly because I'm intrigued by the tech/strategy.
@ek is a war media buff.

Why is that?

Because a jet wouldn't fly so low, it has a high risk of crashing.
It looks like in the trailer it flew so low to give the soldiers some concealment but I think they didn't think this through so they can have a flashy scene.
Maybe I'll still watch it though.

I see. So its unrealistic? I don't care about that sort of thing. I care about realism of character interactions more than technical stuff. Of course I'm not a technical guy so that makes sense.

Makes sense, the movie can still be enjoyable, but I think character interactions are also more realistic if the situation they find themselves in are realistic themselves. Else they also have to make up how the character would react, no?

Good point. I think we all are sticklers on different things and as a result can all enjoy different movies. We all have different details we might focus on that could take us our of the story.
