I was expecting more of a build up and battle of American factions. With lore about different soldiers.
Instead it was "a star is born" but with journalists instead of musicians

Movie was good. I think they went with the wrong ending.
100% agree.
I don’t want to get into any spoilers but less showing what happened and more showing the aftermath and letting me imagine, plz.
I primarily mean from the onset, this movie ends one of two ways. It literally hands us Chekov's Camera. It tried to subvert it by going with the ending they gave us. And it's a weak ending. What happens to Offerman's character is the whole point of the distancing ourselves through the lens of journalism and doesn't interest me as much as what happens to the characters we've been following since the beginning of the movie.
I believe it's more a matter of intent. The whole movie was sold to audiences as a portrayal of what America would look like under martial law and yadda yadda, while Garland seems more fascinated and preoccupied with the role of journalism and the meaning of images (photography but, as expected, cinema) in the context of narrations and in what perspectives those narrations gain through context.
