This story completely failed to capture my attention, which is no great surprise since the Pentagon Papers have failed to capture my attention for decades now. And if the Pentagon Papers don't excite me, what effect could a story about people writing a story have on me? I have never understood why anybody ever makes any character in any movie or show a writer, because I can't think of anything less interesting than watching somebody write. I'd rather watch people play poker on TV. There's more action in card games than word processing.

Then there's Meryl. Something else I have never encountered in this life is a movie with Meryl Streep that doesn't put me to sleep faster than NyQuil. I knew going in this movie would move the speed of continental drift, and I don't feel like I was in the slightest bit wrong. It's another movie for award season and people who had their personalities shot off in the war. If you enjoy staring at walls, you'll love this movie. If you bore easily like all interesting people do it will make you want to dig a hole and bury yourself in the middle of the theater.

'The Gathering Storm' and 'Into the Storm' are far superior movies to this. They're worth watching, but this stinker isn't unless you need motivation to kill yourself. The worst part of any biographical movie is how no production seems able to avoid dwelling obsessively on the darker, sadder parts of a life. This movie does nothing but that. Churchill is a pathetic, sad fool from start to finish, and even if that were true in real life, I wouldn't want to see it. The only thing more annoying than what a clown Churchill is in this movie is what a pure saint his wife is. The entire thing lacks ingenuity, and I don't see any reason why the film was made in the first place. Nothing is interesting, nothing is enjoyable. It's all just a sad flop.

Acting was fine, but who cares when the movie stinks?

Humans do not use only 10% of their brains. If you suffer an injury to any part of your brain, you will suffer some debilitation. We use 100% of our brains and one of the dumbest science myths ever is the entire plot of this movie. That's just pathetic, and I can't sit through total garbage like that. If the writer had any knowledge of anything whatsoever, he/she could have created a plausible story, but instead we get a multi-million dollar production with the intelligence of a 5th grader. This embarrasses me as an American.
