Reviews for "Leave The World Behind" being brigaded with copy/paste negative reviews - presumably because it was produced by the Obamas.

from the copy and pasted review:

Situations like these would bring you together, not force you apart.

Did any of these assholes pay attention to their own behavior during the pandemic?

that's all the maga and far right do.. parrot each other ad infinitum

Not even knowing that the Obamas had anything to do with it (like it matters at all?), I thought I was a refreshingly well-done movie in a genre I enjoy. Haters gonna hate.

I never heard about this movie before. Now I know it's a post-apocalyptic movie (love those) made by Sam Esmail (he did Mr. Robot, which was terrific). I guess it also happened to be produced by the Obamas.

So congratulations, reviewers. You got me interested in seeing a movie I didn't even know existed.

For a few years now, I've purposely sought out movies and TV shows on RT and Metacritic with very high critic ratings, and super low user ratings.

The only time this really happens is if reviews are brigaded. If the user reviews were honest, it's pretty rare that you'd see more than 20-30% difference between critic and user score (MAX). So when you see a critic score of 95%, and user score of 1.8/10, then I know I'm in for a good time. Same with games to a lesser degree.

I'm not even kidding, this is almost always a sure way to find a film or show I enjoy. In fact, I wish they'd introduce a "Controversial" category with things that have a big gap between critic and user scores (though when it goes the other way, that is high user score to super poor critic reviews, it's almost always PureFlix-style Christian propaganda garbage).

This timeline is full of morons and faildogs. Hate it.

Holy deranged

Don't even consider watching this movie!!!!! Horrible movie. If I could leave zero stars I would. I would say the Obama’s should stick to politics but unfortunately I can’t say that either. Regardless, this review sums it up very well: Zero stars needs to be an option. One reviewer posted an excellent review of this movie, so I had to copy and paste. "If you care about using your time wisely, then avoid this film like the plague. But if you like watching terribly written media, then by all means grab a snack and relax. Because this film is the embodiment of utter garbage. The first, and to me, the greatest red flag is seeing the Obamas as executive producers. The movie just changed far too many times, giving you more questions than answers. Family on the beach, a supposed home invasion, planes crashing, a brat obsessed with Friends, hackers start the end of the world, animals migrate for no apparent reason, son is poisoned by radiation yet no one else is and not to mention the blatant racial themes etc. Just a heaping mess of a pile. None of the characters are developed and slowly turn against each other. Situations like these would bring you together, not force you apart. You’d come to hate a few others, such as the daughter who treats Friends like a god and the other daughter, Ruth, who not only has a spoiled attitude but she assumes things on everyone and also believes you should never trust white people. I wish I were joking. And I quote: "I'm asking for you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people." This had no relevance to the film at all! If this statement was flipped around, watch how things would go. I guess her name “Ruth” is short for ruthless. Because she did not act nice to anyone, not even her own father at times. If they removed her from the script, it would have made this film somewhat better. But not enough to save it. But the fact this made it through production baffles me. Then again, remind yourself of who the executive producers were. As for the “terrorist” act itself, it just isn’t clear which nation is the main driving force of it all. First some Arabic country to then either Korea or China. No idea because this is never answered. Nor were a lot of things. Where was the military? The actual forces of the nation. Apparently they do not exist, so everyone has to fend for themselves. Granted we do live in a technological world, but planes wouldn’t be crashing nor boats intentionally grounding themselves if everything was hacked. Analog exists. Pilots can still operate a plane without working apparatus etc. I’d go on but other reviews capture the level of frustration this “movie” brings the table. It’s bad. At least the daughter got to watch the last episode of Friends, after running off with neither brains nor brawn. Ate a large supply of food and somehow, found a VHS tape that oh so conveniently had Friends. Leaving her family to die. I wonder what she’ll think after the episode is over. Probably happiness, not a care for her family, as a show takes more priority than the end of the world." If I could give this movie a rating less than one star I would!!!

Okay but it is definitely a garbage movie. The plot is terrible. Come on, guys.

Excellent movie. I only watched it because a friend referred to it as “that Obama movie that says don’t trust whitey” I figured that’s gotta be a must watch lol

It seems extremely trivial for Google to automatically delete all those identical reviews. Why they aren't doing this? On play store many times they delete my reviews because they think it's irrelevant to the product, here where they're all identical?

This is why we can't have nice things

Nice of them to make it really easy to filter from good faith reviews.

The movie is pretty bad tbh.

My local trump trump supporter LOVED it and recommended I watch it. Despite the Obamas involvement (his words more or less).

He has the whole survivalist kink thing though.

Solid movie. Watched it a week ago. Had no idea who was behind it.

Obama's a terrible person who killed tens of thousands of civilians, we should be boycotting any new project he's involved with. The man ought to be tried for war crimes.

maybe this sort of thing will be what biden does too

get in on office with promises to change things to the better and quarter ass the job get nothing done you promised on the campaign trail and when you are done leaving things worse than when you got in people still support you to do things such as produce films

democrats and republicans are definitely in the same bed on this

what about the anti vape laws obama signed in that trump supported that were also supported by biden helping to create the vape problem we have now such as shops selling whatever product with no evaluations or lab reports and stamping out the research needed for better products and that help exacerbate the current cannabis laws and policing laws as well

obama came in on empty promises just like trump and biden and watched sports games and fucked around his whole four years came out with more support after doing nothing and using that to still make money like obamas book

obama did at least get more that he promised done but still at less than 50% and the damage done by his policies are still carrying on to today and he is using the clout he got doing it to expand his coffers wild people vote for this and yell support for blindly while being wounded by these politicians policies

Here's a great rundown / critique of that movie 😆

Nah just a bad movie.

It really could have benefited from a cohesive plot.

I thought the movie was pretty good. The ending was a bit anticlimactic but maybe that was the point.

If I was going to leave a review (which I'm not), it would be one star because the ending sucked out loud, not because of any politics.
