I saw Incredibles 2 on Friday. It was brilliant in so many many ways.



HOWEVER.



THIS MOVIE ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES A GODDAMN PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY WARNING.



There is a fight sequence in a room with many, MANY flashing strobe lights that goes on for long enough to be a problem. There was NO warning of any kind about this possibility. I am guessing no one at either Pixar or AMC remembers that one Pokemon episode.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, people, if you’re going to put a flashylight sequence in the middle of a movie you have to let parents know before they buy the ticket. If movie theaters can put up ‘hey, there’s several seconds of absolute silence during The Last Jedi and it’s not a technical flaw, it’s part of the movie’ posters to warn people, then they can put up ‘hey, if your kid has a seizure disorder or if anyone in your party has photosensitive migraines, you need to not be where you can see the screen at TIME_1 through TIME_2′. This isn’t protecting feelings or spoiling plot. This is a medical issue.

Holy crap, you'd think photosensitive epilepsy warnings would be something they would have wired by now.

Ha, I just found an article about this movie and a warning... the article was posted TODAY, 2.5 hours ago, or ABOUT 2.5 HOURS AFTER YOU POSTED THIS COMPLAINT. Makes me wonder who's reading you! :D

There have also been several versions of the warning floating around Twitter since last week.

You're not the only one who pointed that out, but I forgot where I read it. (Not that I was planning to see it since I still didn't see the first one.)
