Article Summary
- A24 dropped a new featurette for Warfare, highlighting early positive reviews from critics.
- The featurette features critic praise but skips details on plot or behind-the-scenes insights.
- A24 hopes to replicate success seen with past films like Civil War, despite different themes.
- Catch Warfare in theaters on April 11, 2025, featuring an ensemble cast of rising stars.
It seems some early reactions for Warfare are up and A24 is leaning into that for the marketing. They released a new featurette that doesn't tell us anything about the plot or the behind-the-scenes aspects of the film, but just a bunch of pull quotes from critics saying how good the movie is. Now, this sort of thing isn't uncommon, but it's also the sort of thing you might see the day before a movie comes out after a long line of other marketing materials are released because it's largely pointless. That wasn't the direction the marketing team decided to go here and you can practically hear everyone crossing their fingers and toes that the same people who came out for Civil War will come out for Warfare. However, there is a big difference between a possible and, at least at the time, still fictional look at the future and facing the very real actions and consequences we made as a country during a dark and contentious point in our history.
