Tom Hanks, Emma Watson and Bill Paxton (in one of his final roles) star in this techy themed sci-fi thriller. Watson stars as a woman who gets a dream job at a major tech company, but she uncovers that their latest invention will affect mankind in a worse way then they can imagine. This is a very millennial kinda movie. In a day in age of social media and technology, teens and young adults can especially relate to the content. There are some really interesting debates and issues that the movie brings forth, such as, is too much technology bad for us? It also asks a question if having our lives transparent to the public can cause more harm than help? I enjoyed the topics of conversation this movie posed. It’s current and relatable. While the story is somewhat convoluted, it’s the theme and subject matter that resonates.
