If you watch it with the same mind frame you'd watch Black Mirror....you'll be fine. It's not as good as Black mirror unfortunately. But I guess it could open some people's minds.

A decent concept and a great cast were squandered on this patronizing moralistic melodrama, which feels at times more like an out-of-date Hallmark movie than a biting commentary about social media and society. All the "lessons" this film tries to convey could have been learned more subtly and efficiently through a single episode of Black Mirror.It all starts with an introduction of our heroine, young Susie Earnest (sorry, "Mae".) She is a simple woman, as is made annoyingly clear when her wistful kayaking is interrupted by her cellphone ringtone: "'Tis a gift to be simple". Naturally, poor Mae's Dad is sick, and they need money. Any sympathy this is meant to elicit is instantly ruined by Mae's absolutely infuriatingly naïveté. She does nothing to redeem this first impression as she runs amok through the course of the movie, betraying every person in her life without even a hint of critical thinking, until the damage is irreparable. Then she makes a sad little face and wonders how she could have gotten herself into this mess! This is the oblivious sort of zeal that baby boomers imagine millennials are born with. Any message about the perils of a tech-driven society are totally overrun by the way this story is told. It feels like a PSA about the dangers of social media written by your 75-year-old social studies teacher. And we, the viewers, are clearly the morons who would fall for this tech trap.The few interesting ideas - the emergency response enabled by technology, the problems with work-life balance, the fragility of social bonds - are totally and completely ruined by a boring and predictable narrative chock full of unrealistic scenarios and horrible writing. Do yourself a favor and skip this.

I get the premise. How much can social technology influence our society and how good intentions go bad. The plot is so far fetched that audience has to ignore the gross ignorance of the characters despite their tremendous technical competence which just doesn't gel. Big names in this film can't save it..

Could have been a good movie however, the plot never really goes anywhere.
