This week we’re checking out War Machine (2026), a military thriller that takes a hard left turn into full-blown sci-fi chaos on Netflix.

Led by Alan Ritchson, the story blends military with sci-fi spectacle, as the squad is forced to adapt, survive, and figure out how to take down an enemy that’s faster, stronger, and unlike anything they’ve trained for.

We get into whether the genre mashup actually works, how effective the action is, and if the movie leans more into its Predator-style survival roots or its larger alien invasion setup.

So does War Machine deliver a fun, chaotic action ride, or is it one that feels a little too familiar? Tune in to hear our final ratings.
