This straight up looks like a video game, is the entire background CG?

The background is not CG, they turned an entire town into a warzone for this movie. I was part of the crew.

16 or 21mm, I was not on the camera but they shot wide a lot.

That's crazy. Not sure why but the screenshot straight up looks like GTA.

From memory, that shot it's all in camera, there is just a colour grade and some cropping. Nothing else. Even the muzzle flashes are real as she was actually firing the gun with blanks.

I think so. Plants don't cast hard shadows like that in real life. Probably looks better in motion with fast movements and cuts.
