Besides, David’s here to put a bow on everything, just you wait.ĭirected and co-written by Agata Alexander, “Warning” asks viewers to consider a few situations without ever really developing those ideas, characters, storylines, etc. Most of the movie’s vignettes, about cartoonishly vacant God 2.0-worshipper Claire ( Alice Eve) and sadly obsolete companion robot Charlie ( Rupert Everett), feel like half-completed sketches that were jammed together because less often looks like more when there’s lots of it. Unfortunately, David mainly exists to set up a darkly funny anti-climax that doesn’t work given the preceding sub-plots’ total lack of dramatic tension. Peter scolding the dead at Heaven’s pearly gates.

That comic premise is about as indestructible as St. “Warning” begins and ends with its most high-concept scenario, the one that ostensibly ties the others together: doomed astronaut David ( Thomas Jane) floats around outer space and thinks about his life after a freak electricity surge sends him flying out of control. Most of them are variations on the same theme: humanity, still obsessed with all the wrong things, even in the future. That old chestnut, again? “Warning” follows multiple stories, all of which take place on the same day. To be fair, it’s kind of quaint to see the makers of a new English-language science-fiction movie take so much effort to lament our crippling reliance on technology.
