This should be in the running for worst movie ever made. It’s a 90 minute advertisement for Amazon Prime and Microsoft Teams, probably written by AI, and has zero tension building with the worst CGI alien robots I can remember in a film. Plot holes galore, like how Microsoft is still functioning when everything else on the internet isn’t.

HOWEVER, as a dystopian horror, it’s pretty solid. Most of the NSA tech probably exists, the sounds of a Teams call are haunting given my tech job, and if an Amazon drone is the only thing standing between us and total destruction, we should welcome the end.

Totally in agreement. I think a bigger part of the issue is most people are completely tech illiterate. People can’t tell a computer from a monitor anymore and then we expect them to outsmart a kid with nothing better to do than stare at a screen for hours on end who will no doubt figure out ways around things. There has to be some feeling on the parents part of defeat. If only the politicians knew what the fuck they were doing we might get actual regulations for engineers to implement proper controls. The percentage of parents attempting to monitor their children appropriately while also having enough tech knowledge has to be low.
