It's a movie that should provoke discussion among older teens and parents about technology and its use and misuse, and how it has the power to both connect and disconnect people.

Rated: 3/5

The movie itself wasn't really good, but it should bring up discussions about the use and misuse of technology

That's C

Really horrible knock-off of E.M. Forster's novella, 'When the Machine Stops' written in 1909. The novella can be read in about the same time it takes to watch this film and is a much more rewarding experience. Way to bastardize a prophetic classic.

This dumb kids movie reminded me of college projects. Bad scripts, bad story, bad effects, bad acting. They took what should have been a ten minute short and wasted everyone's time dragging it out longer.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Excellent acting, amazing plotline, and not nearly as slow-paced as the movie 2001.

The budget of this film must've been so low that the voice of the narrator is definitely a Microsoft text to speech tool.
