Audience Member It would not play for me???? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a scare tactic wrapped in poor acting and editing. I recommend anyone that believes this movie and it's message read about all the other outdated philosophies and where they have ended up. This should be put in a museum as a testament to people fearing what they don't understand. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Designed to take you on a journey, it just feels like a scare tactic film with a last minute change of heart. There are enough good points to take note of, but only if you can get past the bad acting and the fact that it was made in 2016. As a child who grew up in this generation, I may not be able to give an opinion from the view point of a concerned adult with children, I can give the viewpoint of the children. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The parent version uses racial and class stereotypes to justify upper-middle class angst about screen time. Every white child was featured with both of their upper-middle class parents. In contrast all of the children of color were of a lower socio-economic group and none were featured with 2 parents. The worst is how they slipped in commentary on these families. The parents of the African American child are incarcerated, children come home to an empty house with the latina family, 40% of youth do not have after-school activities yet the African American and Latino teens in NY pay to valet their phones. It also had inaccurate information. Omitting there have been numerous studies showing no link between video games and school shootings. That other, comparable nations play the same games and do not have school shootings. And worse, the kid version didn't even have the intended affect. My 13yr old said it was garbage and a poor attempt by administration to justify the new "no phones" policy at school. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed the video, we viewed it at our school. It was a little long but convinced me and my family to be more aware of our screen-time. It could have been more interesting and maybe include less talking and more statistics and less inappropriate topics. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie chooses and inelegant and cheesy method to tell a heavy handed and preachy message. Although the movie makes some good points, it distracts from this with its fear-mongering Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
