    maybe this sort of thing will be what biden does too

    get in on office with promises to change things to the better and quarter ass the job get nothing done you promised on the campaign trail and when you are done leaving things worse than when you got in people still support you to do things such as produce films

    democrats and republicans are definitely in the same bed on this

    what about the anti vape laws obama signed in that trump supported that were also supported by biden helping to create the vape problem we have now such as shops selling whatever product with no evaluations or lab reports and stamping out the research needed for better products and that help exacerbate the current cannabis laws and policing laws as well

    obama came in on empty promises just like trump and biden and watched sports games and fucked around his whole four years came out with more support after doing nothing and using that to still make money like obamas book

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/biden-promise-tracker/?ruling=true

    obama did at least get more that he promised done but still at less than 50% and the damage done by his policies are still carrying on to today and he is using the clout he got doing it to expand his coffers wild people vote for this and yell support for blindly while being wounded by these politicians policies

      Obama … like Trump

      Yeah, though Obama did a shit tonne of things wrong, he actually worked quite hard on trying to get shit done, a lot of which, quite famously got stopped by republicans as he didn’t have the house.

      Also, saying that Obama didn’t do anything LIKE TRUMP is just so painfully dumb. Trump is quite famous for -amongst things- spending like a quarter of his time on the golf course, something that can’t be said of Obama.

      Obama was a imperfect president, Trump is a sick joke.

      Anti-vape laws have everything to do with a post-apocalyptic movie. You’ve connected all the dots!

    Not even knowing that the Obamas had anything to do with it (like it matters at all?), I thought I was a refreshingly well-done movie in a genre I enjoy. Haters gonna hate.

    Netflix doesn’t give a single shit about online reviews. All they care about is if people are watching it. And the numbers are really good from what I read. But I guess the anti-woke brigade needs to do something to feel like they’re relevant.

      I don’t think Netflix cares if you’re watching it, as long as you pay your subscription they are happy, and if you don’t watch anything it’s even better!

            They would pay the “royalties”. It’s actually residuals, and it’s usually paid to the actors and senior crew (director, producers, etc), from what i understand.

            Royalties are paid to, potentially, a lot of people. Most a-list actors will get royalties with every dvd sold (and increasingly views on streaming services,) and such like.

    from the copy and pasted review:

    Situations like these would bring you together, not force you apart.

    Did any of these assholes pay attention to their own behavior during the pandemic?

      People’s behavior during the pandemic is why I’m absolutely sure there will never be another civil war.

      What are these idiots going to do when they find their first empty grocery store?

        They think they’re going to go hunting in the woods. But they forget that even if they do manage to catch something they don’t have any way of preparing it or cooking it without taking it back to civilization. They think gas just turns up in stoves and electricity in wires.

        They would probably fall apart long before that though, all national guard would need to do would be to turn off the internet in that area, and they’d be stuck. They have no way of organizing themselves except on social media less than one in 100 of them will own and know how to operate a AM radio.

      I liked it, but I didn’t know it was produced by Obama when I watched it, so didn’t have any preconceptions.

    If I was going to leave a review (which I’m not), it would be one star because the ending sucked out loud, not because of any politics.

    Holy deranged

    Don’t even consider watching this movie!!! Horrible movie. If I could leave zero stars I would. I would say the Obama’s should stick to politics but unfortunately I can’t say that either. Regardless, this review sums it up very well: Zero stars needs to be an option. One reviewer posted an excellent review of this movie, so I had to copy and paste. “If you care about using your time wisely, then avoid this film like the plague. But if you like watching terribly written media, then by all means grab a snack and relax. Because this film is the embodiment of utter garbage. The first, and to me, the greatest red flag is seeing the Obamas as executive producers. The movie just changed far too many times, giving you more questions than answers. Family on the beach, a supposed home invasion, planes crashing, a brat obsessed with Friends, hackers start the end of the world, animals migrate for no apparent reason, son is poisoned by radiation yet no one else is and not to mention the blatant racial themes etc. Just a heaping mess of a pile. None of the characters are developed and slowly turn against each other. Situations like these would bring you together, not force you apart. You’d come to hate a few others, such as the daughter who treats Friends like a god and the other daughter, Ruth, who not only has a spoiled attitude but she assumes things on everyone and also believes you should never trust white people. I wish I were joking. And I quote: “I’m asking for you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people.” This had no relevance to the film at all! If this statement was flipped around, watch how things would go. I guess her name “Ruth” is short for ruthless. Because she did not act nice to anyone, not even her own father at times. If they removed her from the script, it would have made this film somewhat better. But not enough to save it. But the fact this made it through production baffles me. Then again, remind yourself of who the executive producers were. As for the “terrorist” act itself, it just isn’t clear which nation is the main driving force of it all. First some Arabic country to then either Korea or China. No idea because this is never answered. Nor were a lot of things. Where was the military? The actual forces of the nation. Apparently they do not exist, so everyone has to fend for themselves. Granted we do live in a technological world, but planes wouldn’t be crashing nor boats intentionally grounding themselves if everything was hacked. Analog exists. Pilots can still operate a plane without working apparatus etc. I’d go on but other reviews capture the level of frustration this “movie” brings the table. It’s bad. At least the daughter got to watch the last episode of Friends, after running off with neither brains nor brawn. Ate a large supply of food and somehow, found a VHS tape that oh so conveniently had Friends. Leaving her family to die. I wonder what she’ll think after the episode is over. Probably happiness, not a care for her family, as a show takes more priority than the end of the world.” If I could give this movie a rating less than one star I would!!!

      This is a perfect simulation of unhinged 90s/00s chain emails your aunt would forward you. All it’s missing is a title like “FW: FW: FW: FW: OPEN, very important!!!” and instructions to forward it to more people.

      It feels like somebody get a printout of the events of the story without any context or meaning. Like the last comment says the girl left her family to die. No. The entire family is meeting her at the bunker.

        I guess that factual correctness is not the goal. If one reads a “review” and decides not to watch, they win; if one decides to watch, they lose. Doesn’t matter if the “review” contradicts the reality.

        Well the same is accurate for many things said nowadays, unfortunately

      Wow that review is being copy/pasted everywhere and reposted to multiple review sites under many usernames. I thought the movie was pretty good and it’s based on a book that doesn’t answer the questions that the viewer is asking. That is part of the story l, not REALLY knowing what is going on. It’s like the whole theme, not to know for sure. It mentions the military in the final scenes so we have a guess on what they are up to.

    It seems extremely trivial for Google to automatically delete all those identical reviews. Why they aren’t doing this? On play store many times they delete my reviews because they think it’s irrelevant to the product, here where they’re all identical?
