The intriguing premise and Garland’s reputation for thought-provoking sci-fi have generated substantial anticipation. The ensemble cast features Jesse Plemons continuing the creepy villain trend, Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Karl Glusman, and frequent Garland collaborator Sonoya Mizuno. With Garland’s trademark existential themes and high-concept execution combined with A24’s indie pedigree, Civil War shapes up as a complex, visually stunning entry into the action genre.
Based on the initial reviews of Civil War, the Alex Garland film is poised to become one of the best A24 movies of 2024. Considered to be the first true blockbuster produced by A24 with its highest budget ever of $75 million, Civil War could also become the highest-grossing A24 film ever made.

Critics have praised Civil War for its impressive filmmaking, unsettling cautionary story, great performances, and unique dystopian approach to the action genre.
