The streaming wars are waged in interesting ways, nowadays – and I think Netflix just exemplified this with a showcase of perhaps its most interesting upcoming movie. War Machine is what looks like a really straightforward sci-fi action film, with a group of Army Rangers facing off against a terrifying alien robot here on Earth.
It's really grounded, too – that robot being the only element that's actually sci-fi, and the many, many stunts are seemingly practical (as shown off in the behind-the-scenes featurette I've embedded below). What interests me most, though, is the film's star – Alan Ritchson, who's been a brilliant servant to Amazon Prime Video over the last few years.
