This is the third Jacob's Ladder knockoff within a decade for this franchise. That's fucking amazing. Only took me two nights to watch this one so it's pretty good?
So far it's actually pretty damn good. Better than what I was expecting. Tense and more character driven than most disaster movies. Only one big effects scene 30 minutes in and it's on a news broadcast.
Edit: Oh shit. Spoke too soon. Silly ass plot point just happened.

Dracula 2000 Goes to Africa
Dave Maynar So Greenland is decent. It gets sillier as it goes along. Still much better than I figured it would be and only half as stupid. It's actually impressively depressing and commented to the world being a chaotic, uncaring shitbowl. Extra points there.
Got a bad feeling about this one. Doesn't look like it's keeping it's politics as radical. The series was on such a huge upswing too.
Watched the first twenty of this before my internet died today. Appreciated how the setup was conservative white male fragility versus immigrants.
It's not so bad. Action is brutal. I understand why they went this direction but the focus on a Q/Maga type group of villains softens it up from some of the other films. At least because it loses sight of any class/state power structure pulling the strings. Puts it back down with Election Night were it's almost strictly within a liberal framework. EN at least had more radical elements that argued electoral politics wouldn't win out.
Edit to add: This wouldn't be a problem if it was a localized story but the events happen nationwide and are much too substantial to just be random crazies. Lost opportunity to expand on what was happening in The First Purge and paint a picture of how a fascist coup could actually develop.
The character development between the "good" conservatives and the immigrants is handled fairly well but it's very much in that feelgood lib territory.
