if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I enjoy the content. I think the app is well done. I do not appreciate the notifications that were activated from an update I downloaded and installed. I have since deleted it. Business ethics are lost on consumers now. Just let me put lipstick on before you do this again, I want to look pretty for you when you **** me.

This is one of those movies which highlights the negative aspect of the modern dependency of people in technology. It's not an irony that the app in the move is named after "Siri".The concept is wonderful. What will happen to you if the app controls you and decides your action on your day to day life. But again it only focuses on the partying, private life etc in the movie rather than an interesting crime plot. Nevertheless it's a good effortThe movie loses its focus when it starts killing people upon its own- does it have virtual memory or the artificial intelligence to decide how to kill and when to kill and what to use. How can a app know that it has to explode itself because someone is going to destroy the phone? It's bizarre. The movie is not predictable at the end but it's also not such a suspense that it can make people amaze. How can a doctor use such untested technology and ready to lose out patient and that too developed by a small street tech guy and not corporate giant?But kudos to the effort of trying a different theme which can also make people think twice before getting addicted and opening their entire life in the virtual world. If you like a different movie and don't mind spending 90 mins, then it's OK to watch it

This promises two things.One is a lightweight system to connect an App with a movie. You download the free App and launch it. It listens to the film and synchronizes some images and a little video from time to time. This is a fantastic idea, but in this case the experience wasn't expanded. The main effect is that the movie is purportedly about an app with the same name that takes over your phone and life, potentially very spooky, like having Ringu in your VHS player.The other promise is a new twist on the charmed evil object merged with the trope of an AI system capable of gathering from anywhere and reaching everywhere. We've seen too many from the AI side already, many of them so uninformed they cannot register. They may as well use genies.That's something of what goes on here. In fact we have three horror notions merged. The app in some instances has to be placed on the phone but in others not. It seems to be connected to everything that is online, but the appearance and behavior is unsophisticated.It also is magical, turning on a radio that it knows will bounce into a pool; driving a truck into a car. Making a phone explode. Reading minds.We also have the technologist conspirators, a supposedly bright student and a medical doctor who have placed this app here and there and also control it to some extent. There is no discernible logic to what we see, though. (The app kills the student.)A typical high tech NSA conspiracy plot can use these without much question: the organization is evil and the tech is often out of control. Simple.Some deaths occur to keep the app undisclosed. The app appears to spy on the student's old girlfriends. It is used to try to control prosthetics for the heroine's crippled brother…One episode seems purely evil, revealing a completely unrelated gay encounter between student and professor. You've got to be pretty soft in the head to not let these key matters get in the way.No redeeming content, despite the downloadable second screen experience.

I think the director got a little too much carried away with the second screen technology. Even though the film is targeted at teens, the plot is just too thin. A few examples of this below, but mind the spoiler alert...---spoiler alert--- It's absolutely not credible that a doctor would use software from some hacker to spy on people and put it into the body of a paralyzed person to make him walk again.If it is so obvious that an app is taking over your life and killing people, anyone would simply turn of the phone, take out the battery or just throw the phone in the water. But no, our lead character decides to actively use the deadly phone throughout the movie.Why would an app know how to kill someone who is swimming in a pool by turning on an analogue radio that is positioned next to a pool on top of a be able to turn on a radio on top of a scaffold?If someone just threw 2 liters of boiling water over your face, would you be able to drive a car and chase another person, only 15 minutes later?
