If you go to see "Armadillo", you will be in a cinema watching a war movie. A documentary, yes, but one that's safely on the screen as you sit back and watch Danish soldiers deployed in Afghanistan. You will watch those same soldiers try to relieve the boredom of life on a forward operating base by playing first-person shooter games on their laptops. That scene will cut to soldiers watching grainy security-cam images of Afghan men on their perimeter, deciding rather casually whether or not to call down fire on them. Then the commanders watching drone imagery of a faraway firefight.
Screens, screens, screens.
Then you will watch as a patrol gets ambushed, a soldier gets hit, and he turns to the camera with a look of pure fear and disbelief: War has moved off the screen and into his reality, and the look on his face is the defining moment of "Armadillo," a bold attempt to bring home the reality of war to an overly mediated generation.
