Roxana Hadadi Polygon Warning is full of sci-fi conclusions that genre fans already know, and the film's title says it all. Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com An ungenerous collection of cynical sci-fi morality plays set in the near future. Rated: 2/4 Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Amy Nicholson New York Times Together, these tales feel like the hangover at a wake for mankind. The film's dusky pastel color palette recalls dying flowers on a grave. Yet, Alexander takes a prankish delight in her own doom and gloom. Oct 21, 2021 Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online Instead of going the anthology route, [Warning] has taken its various storylines and haphazardly thrown them into a blender, resulting in a vile concoction that makes no sense. Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming There's no shortage of fascinating and unique concepts here; however, the flick is frustratingly unable to combine its ideas into one cohesive whole. The result is a production that feels oddly incomplete. Rated: 3/5 Oct 27, 2021 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This selection of intertwined short sci-fi tales, all dealing with the idea of troublesome technology, vary in quality; there are a few bright, tense moments, but none really packs much of a punch.

Mario V So bad we turned it off after 30 minutes Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Andrew K It wasn't bad, but a little disjointed and disorganized. Too many mostly unrelated story fragments without much of a payoff for any of them. It has its moments. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Valerie B It was awful. Just awful. I only watched it all the way through because there is something wrong with me. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review banmrk B Very boring and all over the place, the story line is just weird and have to say that half way through, I stopped the it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Boo H Anyone who rated this movie under four stars should watch it again. What I liked about this movie was the "space janitor" Center character! Loved his perspective. I also enjoyed the impactful points of view in the smaller stories within the bigger picture that the space janitor observed from afar. The janitor's initial anger in his situation was misplaced on the "creator" …God. His blame for his circumstances was not himself in the beginning of his undeniable acknowledgment of his impending death. As he floats further away from the only source of opportunity to continue his existence, he goes through stages of anger & blame. And while he starts to accept how he found himself in his situation, he watches earth and it's inhabitants meet their destiny of death. He becomes the outlying observer who witnesses everything he could have cared about and should have cared about… disappear from existence. He starts to acknowledge his own lost opportunity to know his only child… a part of himself… his legacy. He flows through his regrets and makes a last attempt to explain his poor choices in his sad apologetic recordings to his young daughter who he has never known personally. He does this futile act while watching a deadly solar flare make its way to earth like a Death Star laser beam exacting its energy with focused intention to place the final nail in earth's coffin. He will be the last human in existence and have a front row seat 💺 to earth's final exhale with every creature on it's surface and beneath it's surface. The earth & its inhabitants will have a more humane finality with swiftness and speed compared to the lone space janitor. He will enjoy a little more time of regret and deep hell. This movie was everything I could ever want in a thoughtful play. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Norris h So call me impatient, but the opening scene was all it took for me to judge this pile of tripe. The trope of "I'm only a technician" bollox only works in the minds of the feeble, the bewildered and writer's who should not be allowed near a Sci fi movie. Secondly, working in space un-tethered. Uhhh, no, never, not going to happen. Just the lack of gravity means to do any work and have two useful hands will require that the person is secured and is bracing themselves with two feet. Thirdly the proportions of the shot were so out of whack it was hilarious. The long zoom in at the start indicating a structure in space on its own, and then the close up of the guy working, where he was bigger than the dish he was working on, but the dish was the width of the structure. Where was he supposed to live? He was bigger than the structure. Production values so f'cked up from that very first scene meant the rest of the movie could only disappoint. Bilge. Don't watch.
