Movie Review: WARNING (2021) – The Future Is Fractured
⭐️⭐️⭐️½☆ (3.5/5)

“What happens to humanity when technology takes everything but gives nothing back?”

WARNING (2021) is a haunting, cerebral sci-fi anthology that explores a fractured future filled with loneliness, surveillance, and existential dread. Directed by Agata Alexander, the film weaves multiple interconnected stories into a bleak yet fascinating vision of what might become of our species if we continue to lean too heavily on artificial intelligence, immortality tech, and spiritual detachment.

The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Thomas Jane, Alice Eve, and Annabelle Wallis, each playing characters lost in their own futuristic nightmares. From a man stranded in space whose only connection is a glitching AI assistant, to a woman who rents a digital God to fill the spiritual void in her life, each narrative offers a Black Mirror-style commentary on modern life.

Visually, WARNING is cold and sterile, mirroring the world it portrays—one where emotions are numbed by convenience and human connection is a relic of the past. The production design is minimalist and effective, and the sound design hums with a sense of quiet dread.

While some segments are stronger than others (a few stories feel underdeveloped or overly familiar), the overall mood of the film is consistent: unsettling, thought-provoking, and deeply atmospheric. The final scenes subtly tie several threads together, leaving you with more questions than answers—in the best way possible.

Verdict:
WARNING (2021) isn’t your typical popcorn sci-fi. It’s slow-burning, philosophical, and at times disturbing. If you’re into speculative dystopias and enjoy films like Ex Machina, Her, or Black Mirror, this might be your next cult favorite.
