Warning is poorly made and poorly told anthology of short sci-fi films that are jammed together and pureed into a confused soup. Each mediocre story is intercut with other stories and if you ever get confused, then welcome to the party. Some of these stories are poorly told… and others are so on-the-nose you’ll wonder if this is baby’s first science fiction script.
You see, this movie is a warning about technology running our lives or something. Woah. Haven’t heard that one before. It’s like some kind of mirror or zone or gallery reflecting our technology obsessed lives back at us. And lecturing.
Take the short about a woman who can’t get through her day without God 2.0… an Alexa-like device that tracks your sins and offers absolution. When a software update bricks the device, she’s told she’ll have to pray the old-fashioned way until a replacement arrives. She’s unhappy with this because she doesn’t get any answer when on her knees.
GET IT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!? ISN’T THAT DEEP??!?! IT’S DEEP! LIKE, PRAYER DOESN’T REALLY WORK. OR SOMETHING. I DON’T KNOW – GET AN ALEXA!
But that’s balanced by some other more cryptic plots that left me confused… but that’s probably because I’m just deeply stupid. Or possibly I was just so bored out of my goddamn mind that I missed the assuredly deep premise.
Oh well, it’s not like you’ve heard of this stinker. And if you do spot it for streaming rental, you’ve been warned.
Get it?
WARNED!
