Netflix's "War Machine" has just muscled onto the platform in the latest flex of alien spaceships versus humans. This time, though, there's only one enemy to deal with – but by Cybertron, this murder machine wreaks bloody havoc on Alan Ritchson's 81 (he's only known by this callsign in the movie) and his team of Army Rangers in training!
The narrative setup is simple: There's one final mission for a group of recruits to complete before they become Rangers. However, they need to finish this task without the use of any real weapons, and after being dumped in the middle of nowhere. It's convenient for the plot's purposes, but bad timing for them as a menacing ship from outer space lands in the same area. At first, the recruits wonder if this is all part of the big test, though when the machine starts butchering them, the sole survivors realise that something else is up.
