I agree I was also really impressed by the movie. I kind of like how they don’t wrap the ending up with a bow for you. It keeps you thinking

SO AWESOME TO SEE THIS ON DC UNIVERSE!!! I paid money to watch it but I played it again and my TV went HDR immediately for it which was badass. Thanks DC for keeping this app going! DC Fandome was HYPE too!!
Also, this movie was sick af. My brother & friend & I couldnt believe how gory it was but in a good way, it made the stakes higher and made it more real. I’ll never forget the experience of watching it with them! Good times. Watch it if you’re reading this & havent yet.

Went in fully spoiler-free. As soon as Superman was the one calling for preemptive war against Apokolips against others’ objections, I knew this was either a New 52 story or an Elseworlds story. (I guess in a way, it was almost both.)
Anyway, ten minutes in, it was clear this version of history was not going to last past the film’s end. Taking it as a conglomeration of “What would happen if…” scenarios with no real consequences, I found it a reasonably fun excursion through the multiv… hypertim… elsewor… whatever.
Now, I am so far behind in my reading, I have not got to this point in publication history, yet. I’m still mid-N52 in GL lore, and have only read a handful of Convergence or post-Rebirth comics. So I had no reference for this story; it was basically a stand-alone film for me. That may have affected my perception.
Last comment: Rainn Wilson Luthor felt like an odd choice to me. I think non-threatening voice Luthor is something that hasn’t been considered enough. This just felt… a little too non-threatening.

It was decent enough. It’s unremarkable, but that’s true of every DCAMU movie with the exception of The Death of Superman (thanks 100% to Peter J. Tomasi’s script). Apokolips War is perfectly adequate as a closer to a series that was never terrible but hardly ever interesting.*
*The Teen Titans films were probably my favorites outside of the Superman film noted above.

Finally watched this. I was not a fan. I haven’t really liked the trend of DC going super dark, violent, and mature in recent years. I’ve always been drawn to the more hopeful, heroic, and optimistic aspects of the DC Universe. A lot of these animated movies have been well done but the violence level and language has felt gratuitous at times.
I wasn’t really digging this movie until I realized that this was likely leading to a cosmic reset via a new Flashpoint. It was clear that this was an intentionally over-the-top dark timeline where they were going to kill characters with abandon. That made the death and destruction a bit easier to take, as I had hope it could all be reversed.
I did enjoy some parts of the movie - Matt Ryan as Constantine is always entertaining. Darkseid vs Trigon was epic! There were some good moments with Raven and Damian, Batman in the Mobius Chair, Constantine freeing Wonder Woman with the lasso, the shocking reveals of the brainwashed Leaguers, etc.
And sure enough, everything was reset at the end. But there was no payoff. We didn’t get to see the better world Flash was hoping to create. I realize that was likely because they’re still figuring out what it will be (and whether the new movies will be connected at all). But the end result was lots of death and suffering followed by the universe seemingly being erased. Roll credits. Not a very satisfying conclusion.

I was totally under whelmed at the trigon darksied fight hell superman got more hits in and beat the ■■■■ out of darksied. Trigon was like here is a slap on the face and another and another. I was super excited i wanted it to be like you hurt my daughter and killed robin only i get to kill robin NOW YOU DIE. Then trigon just beats him to a bloddy pulp and like hulk walks away like puny god. But alas all i got were a couple slaps on the face and the fight never finished they just get sucked up and its over. Like ive seen better fight scenes with hawk and dove and trigon is spose to be like the most powerful bieng. It was just stupid and dumb. Hell krypto in the nes titans show has better fight scenes then trigon in this movie and he is a ■■■■■■■ dog.
