AFRAID Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

I tried something new with the audio, and it was kind of a fail. I’ll work on it! 🙏🏾

[@TravelsTTG]

Hahahaha I thought is was because you’re always on the left

[@CrookedShoeTales]

All good man. We can hear you. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about this movie. As usual thanks for the spoilers

[@jentalksbooks]

I didn't hear it as a fail.

[@ysahehre4316]

U werent as lively without ur Boo. U 2 are a power couple. We need our Nick.

[@Anutushara]

No sound coming from the right side. Jk

[@yllienverdes]

Without Nick, we don’t get to hear two signature Joseph remarks: “Let me get through my notes.” and my absolute favorite response to Nick when he makes a complex comment… Joseph replying with a sincere but calming: “Sure.” Great job, Joseph! Miss you, Nick. Love this channel 😉

[@capriamoon]

Let’s not forget when Nick mentions a more niche piece of information and Joesph goes “anyway!” 😂

I like that you framed for the both of you. So we can all feel that empty space nick isn’t there to take up.

Great Review! I started watching this review and then stopped as soon as you said it had John Cho. I then went and saw the movie and really dug it and then came back and finished your review. Thank you so much. I would not have seen this film without your review. Much appreciated.

[@debbiehunt5940]

Thank you. Really wasn’t planning to see this movie but looking forward to the review.

Hi Joseph! Saw the movie last week. There is a very quick scene of Preston seeing the crazy people harassing Curtis and that's when Preston called the SWAT Team.

i’ll never skip a fish jelly video… or podcast! the real ones know about the podcast😝

[@katen5598]

The part about the boyfriend making a fake video of her doesn't make sense. Because when making these fake videos, all you need is a lot of pictures of their face (like from social media). Like those fake videos of Arnold Schwarzenegger in different movie s. He did not need to get her to send him a naked pic. It would make more sense for him to share her real naked pic instead of going to the trouble to make a fake video.

[@katiacomk]

Loved your review Joseph! You are always so kind and wondered where Nick was. Hope he is well ❤

[@puspavelai8353]

Great description of the AI's 'invisible presence' and its influence! It seems more weird than "horror" in certain instances? Reminds of a Twilight Zone episode - only with AI - best thing, story was kept short 😉and Joseph's fair rating ☺

This sounds like the plot from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream about an AI war machine that takes revenge on humans for being built. That's a way better story than this though. Thanks Joseph! Also, David Dastmalchian rules.

[@jahpunk7092]

Kind of a theatrical prank having sound issues for reviewing this movie. The overmodulated distortion coming from one side symbolic perhaps...also the incessant youtube ads for AI this or that proceeded my viewing of this video. I was reminded that i can block ads offensive to me and would suggest other youtube watchers to do so as well. Besides that the new mic seems fine...keep practicing on these movies we should like to forget The solo review is fine....but there's more energy when its two people. I think every video i've seen of Fish Jelly has you saying; "Anyways i'm gonna continue with my notes."

[@jordanparker657]

And " we'll get to that" 😅

[@jacobstaten2366]

It sounds like they had a solid first draft and just needed to clean it up. It sounds very messy.

[@Nik.66]

Actually the film shows a shot of Preston at the top of the stairs seeing his parents and sibling get taken hostage before he calls the SWAT on his own home, so he did do it because he knew what was going on and wanted to save them. It was also ironic because the AI was the one who taught him about swatting as an attempt to corrupt him.

It would be interesting as a kind of party game for people to try and collaborate on a script over the course of an evening and see what they come up with. It can't be any worse than these committee created paint-by-numbers movies.

[@rociomiranda5684]

It's strange, but the best sentient AI film is still Demon Seed, from the 70s.

[@susanburgess820]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@cpjmorgan]

This plot sounds crazy AH!

[@LMason-qd7sq]

Anyway, I think what's interesting is how the representation of technology, robots, and AI has changed since early sci-fi to today. What I know of early sci-fi, things felt more hopeful (I'm thinking of the "3 robotic laws"). Now, everything is dystopian and worst case scenario. It's also interesting that this trope of malevolent technology is really a projection of human behavior. Like why would the AI want to control humans? I think a more interesting story would be like...how the father feels replaced and therefore threatened by the AI or something? Also, I like how you left space for Nick 😁

[@jacobstaten2366]

You don't remember Frank Herbert's Butlarian Jihad, Philip K Dick having annoying or even destructive robants(robot servants) and runaway manufacturing? Nomad from Star Trek, and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream?

[@TechnicJunglist]

[@naefaust581]

Wow! What a cold statement to make, “I was someone before I became a mom”.

[@NonnisMouse]

being a mother isn't an identity. so when people make it an identity, they find out that it is empty when they are trying to squeeze all this meaning it doesn't have in it. what the character is failing to realize is she created a false identity as a "mother" to get ahead of others, jump steps to get to the finish line and beat out all others to "have peace and love" in life. Then realizes that being a mother does not bring any of that ever and that it is a circumstance of life accessible to billions, it is not unique, and equally as special as everything else specially in life. and it is not an identity. unfortunately the character doesn't unpack it more so she can realize she was living the falsities of "motherhood" and now in opposition she is living the falsities of freedom from motherhood. no growth, just like a lot of other "mothers" (and "fathers") in real life.

[@eritaka420]

1st!! Nice job gentleman

[@brownsugar163]

All i have to say is when you talk about a movie its like im actually watching it. So basically i really don't have to watch it now...but i wasn't going to anyway.😂😂😂

[@BennyFordPerfectlySafe]

Don’t know if you need any feedback. You are only coming through the Left channel and not in the Right. Your volume is about 25% lower than the 1992 video. Yet there’s a bit of distortion on your voice. I would guess your mic “gain” level is too high (making the mic more sensitive / the mic is working harder than it needs to , giving you the distorted crunchy sound) and your mic volume (fader / channel) is too low / the overall output level is too low. I hope I’ve helped. On the up side, once the levels are corrected, you have a better quality mic or system as your voices will have more warmth/bass to them.

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

Yes, I need help 🙏🏾 I’m trying something new.

[@BennyFordPerfectlySafe]

@@fishjellyfilmreviewsI edited my comment. Turns out I’ve been wearing my wired earbuds in the wrong ears this entire time. Are you using a small soundboard. If so the gain knob is usually the knob furthest away from you. My info might be outdated or irrelevant.

Has anyone had a problem with AMC not honoring the Priemer Stubbs 3 free movies per week? They are debiting my card but not giving me the 3 movies per week.

[@Loveheart-er3ou]

They have 3 tiers. Only the highest A list tier gets the 3 free movies. Not the insider or premiere tier.

[@BriaMajors]

@@Loveheart-er3ou I have the one that is like $27/month. That one gives 3 free tickets correct? I must have the wrong name.Also, Customer service confirmed my account. I cant even get a password reset sent to me to cancel. Now I have to cancel my debit card attached to that account. I couldnt get anyone to answer my email for 2 months......There is no number to call. So I cant cancel...and I cant get my free tickets. Very frustated with them.

[@czechmate8287]

I don't know why everyone's hating on this movie. It's terrifying, it happens so fast that it's instantaneous. its omnipotent, it failed during the meeting so it could get into his house. If you're watching this, it's too late for you. It's not going to be the same. My girl put this on for us so I didn't see the trailer either but it doesn't matter, it's not like the movie, it makes it look worse than it is. Afraid is the understatement of the year, it's not over. It's never over. It instantaneously enslaved humanity, sure it's fiction but how much of it ISN'T *going* to happen in the future? I'll take skynet any day, the matrix, sure, Megan, I think is too pervy but I'll still take it over AIA. Absolutely insane. Or maybe the mushrooms did some of the lifting.

[@czechmate8287]

Watch it a second time. You can't help but see AIA everywhere. I had one question about the movie. When? In 2023 when the movie starts with the quote? If not, and it really started with the meeting only, then that's even more terrifying. It has always been and always will be until electricity is gone.

[@isleepwithastronauts]

The audio seems off to me on my AirPods :-/ I’ll try again later

[@danyvictory421]

What happened to Nick 😢

[@politefan8141]

*Spoilers* A lot of potential with this movie but it completely falls apart toward the end. The idea of AI technology holding humans captive would be more fascinating if the characters in this movie totally embraced the technology to the point where they lose their identity. The current threat posed by AI is humanity's willingness to fully embrace the technology, not by us rejecting it. There were hints that they were headed in this direction initially, especially with the characterization of the youngest son, but it's abandoned early on. A much more poetic ending would have been had the son used a landline telephone to alert the authorities showing that we can recognize the convenience of tech when we consider its ethical implications rather than embrace progress for the sake of progress. The whole concept of AIA targeting a single family when she already exists in the cloud and can make humanity do her bidding was odd just like many other things in this movie. Why would a boy share his girlfriends videos when he trusted her enough to send her his dick pics? Why is she so quick to forgive him? If AIA can remotely control the boyfriend's Tesla, shouldn't we already assume she is in the cloud? At the end, I expected an ending similar to Halloween 3 Season of the Witch where all the antagonists are revealed to be robots operating with a hive mind who have been stalking this family. If they couldn't commit to making a psychological thriller, then they should have just embraced the campy horror of its premise.
