@xiofire - I'm right there with ya!
Agreed, it is a great, terrifying socio-polical satire. I smirked and chuckled a few times, but ultimately this film left me feeling the very real, very hefty weight of our extremely fucked up world. So, I'm going to binge some feel good fantasy or sci-fi and stick my head back in the sand for a while.
It really is well done though.

The satire is almost pitch black with how accurate and blunt it is. I wanted to laugh and enjoy this movie for the satirical comedy that it's so clearly trying to be, but it's secretly a depressive mockumentary on the current state of discourse in the US and across the world. Very well done, almost too accurate for humourous purposes, and left me feeling a little hollow when the credits rolled. If that was the intent, kudos Adam McKay. I'm going to go hug my dog and tell my parents I love them.
