First, I want to say I love apocalyptic movies, because I feel a lot like the main protagonist - I don't particularly like people.
I think we're awful and we're awful to each other and we're destroying the planet, which we do not benefit it in any way.
Areas where people have left nature come back rapidly and takes over.
Ever notice how quickly a house deteriorates when people leave it? Well that's how quickly nature will come back when we leave it.
Anyway, I don't think this movie was about other countries attacking America (although there are some hints/discussion by characters that other countries may backing some of the factions that live in America, which want to attack it and rebuild it in their own image).
I think it's primarily about the division in America and as one character points out, you do first use the media. In reality we're using social media. In the movie media/communications are being disrupted.
As one character explains - without my phone, without my ipad, without the internet I am useless. I am a useless man. We're so dependent on our phones and our computers.
Many of the characters express their fear not only of the unknown but of what to do in the case of an emergency. They want someone else to explain what's going on to them and to tell them what to do.
So, first you take away the means of communication, then you instill fear and confusion, and then you attack - in this case people will attack each other. They'll do the work for you
America's a big fat bloated lazy sleeping giant that thinks it's democracy is invincible and that coups can't happen here. But it's been happening for quite a long time, it's just been in slow motion - that's now speeding up!
This is one frightening movie!
There are several things in the movies that should have been delved into a little more or things that were touched on and then never addressed later so you wonder what was the point.
Alhough, this movie is almost two and a half hours long it really felt like it should have been a series.
