Agree with all of this. My takeaway was it was a shot at American Imperialism with a dose of white nationalism thrown in for good measure. Basically, it was a Hollywood film made in 2023.
But like you said, it was a gorgeous film with solid effects, and it largely kept my attention throughout. Alphie was the highlight, and I didn't expect the emotional hit at the end.
