Make of that what you will.

If you don't count all the kids that had epileptic seizures it worked for Pokemon, why not?

I guess the question would be how could this crap not cause people to have seizures. You can't even tell what's going on half the time anymore.

Adults got seizures from watching Pokemon too?

The Pokemon stuff was crazy. Tons of colors and flashing lights in the background during specific scenes, and a lot of kids going to the hospital for seizures.

I thought it had to be like a lot of full screen flashing to trigger a seizure. But just the flashing of space lasers can trigger it too, huh?

Did you see Edge of Tomorrow? If you did, how did that effect you.

Just asking because it's one of the only new sci-fi movies I've seen in years.

That's one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. It's the movie where he dies during a war with aliens and keeps waking up to live the same day over and over again.

If you want to see a badass chick kick ass and be totally believable about it in a movie that isn't pandering to anybody, you owe it to yourself to at least give the movie a try.

I won't say it's worth risking an epileptic seizure to watch it, but it's totally worth risking an epileptic seizure to watch it.

I can't recall if there are any scenes in it that might be triggers, but I don't really think so. There's quite a bit of CGI in it, but it's mostly on the ground battle stuff more like Starship Troopers than Star Wars. I didn't have any problems following the action like I do when watching a lot of the movies out there today with a billion things happening on the screen at the same time. A lot of the movie outside the battle scenes is pretty chill too.


Let me know if you check it out.




Oh, BTW... an alternate title for the movie was Live, Die, Repeat. I think the box for the DVD says that very prominently, although the actual movie title is on the bottom corner of the DVD. You might want to look for both titles.

And if you like the movie even half as much as I did, I think you're going to get a kick out of the last 30 seconds of it.

Thread kind of got de-railed here (my bad), and just want to make sure you're referring to Edge of Tomorrow now and not one of the SW movies.

Definitely EoT.
I can't even joke around about recommending the recent SW movies.

Hey Jack. Found a copy of that Cruise movie at my local library today. It was listed under, "Live, Die, Repeat."

Checked it out and I will check it out and let you know what happens.

Looks like EOT is getting a sequel if this article is true.

I thought the movie was just ok, but with Ms. Blunt runnin' around all sweaty and grimy throughout, it's hard not to be glued to the screen.

What is the verdict?

Somebody mentioned that some scene might be troublesome, flashing or strobing sort of light action, at night time scene. I am wondering if this is the scene approaching the Louve, via helicopter or cargo chopper, and then on the ground with some plane type fuselage. Once they get to the Louve, I think you should be OK.
I had not thought of these special effects as triggering siezures, but the reason films seem to be so dependant upon them is that they are trying to distrat, to jump focus on sparkly ball to different spots on the screen, so much of the audience cnnot keep up with all the ADHD lures. In older film this was done with snappy scriptwriting, clever plot twists, McGuffin Ploys.
At this point, I wonder if anybody has caught Tarantino resorting to the lowest level of flash-bang.

Arrival is one of the best films of the past decade, it is Sci-Fi, and I don't recall things that might trigger. Not a lot of action scenes in that one. Cast includes Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forrest Whittacker.
Have you seen it?


TC also did Oblivion, which was another wonderful Sci-Fi film. They did some gizmo gadgetry with flying craft, to impress us, but I don't recall a whole pile of scenes with gobs of combat. They have lazer type weapons, but they don't run amok with them, IIRC. Also stars Morgan Freeman.
Have you seen it?

The Quiet Place also has Emily Blunt, with her husband. Aliens hear the slightest sound, so everybody must remain silent. Pretty quiet film overall. One scene had some explosions, I think. I don't know if enough to trigger. Anybody else know?



Has anybody else had feedback about these 2 films, in relation to seizure triggers?

Or other suggestions?
