"This why your parents told you not to sit in front of the tv screen. Cuz you’ll just start seeing things come out of the TV, get involved in a political conspiracy that involves getting brainwashed by VHS tapes, and fusing with your gun to assassinate targets. Gotta love those thick cables fusing with human flesh. "

"I wanted to love this movie but I just couldn't bring myself to. It felt all very preachy and pretentious. I love the VFX and the movie it's self was amazing to look at it also casting Debbie Harry was genius...but was really just how the movie was told that got to me. I feel I need to watch it again, maybe I wasn't in right mindset but for now this is where me and this movie stand."

"It literally promotes sexual violence, but not only that in itself. But for profit. No thanks."
