Nine Films About Technology

11 reviews
8/10

9 films about the pitfalls of technology and how humans have not progressed as well

It is billed as a comedy and there are some comedic moments but it goes deeper than that.

It highlights some of the very real consequences of what we often see as progress because it makes our lives easier but also all too often often avoid facing the tragic consequences of it's misuse and slavery too.

People of all ages can enjoy these bit size episodes, so not limited to any particular group.

I hope that the producers will apply the same techniques to another 9 films that highlight the absurdity of tribal group names that have no actual relevance but are continually used in petty culture wars. Boomer, millennial, gen z/x an other such nonsense.

Moments of Clarity Mixed with Whining and Poor Writing

Damn, this was kind of brilliant.

I stumbled into this series, but it turned out to be the best thing I've seen in months! Pretty much every episode is smart, concise, well-written, and seriously funny in one way or another. It tackled some super-heavy subjects with a deft hand and a modern eye. The story about the outhouse blew my f#$&ing mind.

Solid

Concur with the other review; stumbled upon this and is very brilliant. Put together well, short 10 min episodes hit the nail on the head with technology and its pros/cons. I am currently bumping the rating to 9 stars due to the creativity, relevance and there's nothing bad about this at all. Well done!!

Unexpected surprise!

While the title is underwhelming, the series is surely not. The idea does feel Black Mirror-ish, but where it differs is it's not set in a not-too-distant future. It's firmly based on how we use technology today. These types of anthologies that are focused and time-constricted stories tend to feel cheaply acted and heavy-handed on social commentary, but NFAT is far from that. It's absolutely relatable to the every day person, or at least very familiar. It delves into how we interact with these devices, in turn, how we interact and lack interaction with each other. All the stories are interconnected in some way and show an unfiltered view of how we use our smartphones and computers. It deals with everything from vanity, intimacy, racism, isolation, ageism, sexism, catfishing, keeping up with the Jones's, insecurities, scamming, e-currency and more. The acting is on point and the messages are subtle and powerful. The episodes Going Vintage 1&2 had me in my feels a bit and I was not expecting that. Definitely a surprise for something I randomly watched and hope they expand on it.

What an actress!

I am an instant fan of Fiona Fu. She was her character. What a fantastic actress. This is a really touching piece that I could watch for hours on end. I would love to see this extended into a feature, but only if she is in this exact role.

Shallow, stupid, grating

This could've been an opportunity to say something insightful. To make meaningful commentary about how our lives have changed due to technology in recent times.

Instead it's an annoying slog of the most insufferable people in the dumbest situations that provides the dumbest "social commentary." Seriously, a granny could've come up with these episode premises they are so insipid.

Do not waste your time on this crap.

Excellent Snippets of Modern Reality

Ok it isn't perfect. You can tell it's low budget.

But I think it's brilliantly done and incredibly entertaining. The actors and writers and directors were BRILLIANT with the limited budgets and time they had to work with.

This is one star off a ten for me, considering the crap that's out there.

It was a dose of reality we all needed. And frankly the other reviewers are too used to Marvel Blockbusters.

This was insightful, tasteful and genuine. It was Beautiful. LOVED IT.

Ode to Boomers

Pandering to the modern(?) curmudgeon. Nine Films About Technology is a deep-dive into every boomer's and news outlet's mentality towards the revolution of technology. We're greeted with this sort of product every few years, contemplating the dystopian existence of the things we love.

The characters are often extreme versions of what they intend to mock and often jump the shark for every keen, contemporary eye.

Rave reviews seem to love confirmation bias, a brilliant idea to serve a 45+ audience.
