Sarah (7800 KP) rated Unfriended: Dark Web (2018) in Movies

Could’ve been worse
Whilst a second Unfriended film was entirely unnecessary, it’s not really a surprise that they’ve made another one. Technology and social media are becoming more and more prevalent so it’s kind of predictable really that they’ve made another film to exploit the darker side of it all.
One of the things I do like about this film (and the original) is how they’ve been filmed using only Skype and other types of video calling and technology. The problem is that the story is pretty poor. It’s just ridiculously far fetched and whilst this one is better than the original and actually feels more sinister, it’s still a little laughable. That said though, it isn’t all bad and did have me vaguely intrigued for the short run time. Using the video calling does prove to be an entertaining story telling mechanism, even when the story isn’t that great.

Could have been so much better
I'm a little disappointed with this film. On paper it sounds great, but in reality it's very badly executed.
It's very similar to Black Mirror, although nowhere near as dark or good. The idea is a good one and one very close to home considering how advanced technology is nowadays. It is a good take on social media and technology companies, it just doesn't quite work although at times it does make you feel rather uncomfortable at how all this is used. The problem is it comes across as a little boring and unengaging at times, and characters actions seem a bit bizarre. Tom Hanks and John Boyega are greatly underused although Emma Watson doesn't do too badly as the lead. I didn't get the ending either, it just didn't seem to fit and was a little confusing.

Knew I would be hooked when I saw "From the makers of Line Of Duty"
Contains spoilers, click to show
I like how the show addresses an important fact that in reality it's very easy these days for people to influence others with the use of the internet/social media.
When I saw the trailer for this series I thought it was just going to be another typical kidnap style show but I like the fact that Lennie James' character is actually arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his own daughter who he hasn't seen in over 10 years, and eventually becomes the character who does the most to try and find his daughter.
The ending was not what I was expecting and could probably have been worked differently but I appreciate they have set it up for another series.

Amazing battery life
Using mine to type this review now, my iPad Pro has been the best tablet ive found to use to date. Not only has it got access to the App Store with a great range off apps, but the cloud memory is reliable and secure. The battery life I have found to hold well and not deteriorate since I brought it nearly a year ago. Though it takes a while to charge, and I usually put it on overnight, it then lasts almost all day with constant use on social media, video steaming and internet browsing. The Apple Pencil that pairs with the IPad pro also enhances its uses by broadening the user ability for fine detail in the aspect of creative design and intricate detail.
I wouldn’t return to any other brand than apple for my phone and tablet technology.

Professional identity theft is scary
I remember watching this film shortly after its release thinking how scary this is in the modern age of social media. I warn my kids not to reveal themselves too much in the public domain because you never know who else is watching and listening.
There was some controversy on whether this movie was even legit or it was a "Catfish" for all of us, but I believe it to be true.
I can only imagine the disappointment, anguish and outrage to discover your online relationship partner was feeding you a line of total bullshit from the beginning. If this is true, the victims must have had a hard time believing the levels which were gone through to keep on the ruse.
I found the documentary captivating and intriguing.
