camwynI 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.
