AfrAId was slightly disappointing. The story was solid and it posed a bunch of really good questions regarding artificial intelligence.
The part that has me in turmoil over the grade was the role of Meredith. (Katherine Waterston) I would love some feedback on what you Runpeeps think. She felt out of place to me. She had no chemistry with any of the other actors and seemed distracted.

It’s a super short movie so the pace is great, they didn’t stick in any filler stuff, it was straight storytelling.
I took my granddaughter and asked her what grade she’d give it, she said an A. It scared her and made her question the usage of AI. She doesn’t care about acting and style, she’s all about the story. So they nailed it for her. (She’s 11) I was more so thinking a C. If it weren’t for the distraction of Meredith I’d say a B.
All in all, I think anyone under 17 will love it and anyone over 17 will be slightly more critical. Again, it does pose great questions and makes you think.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: After seeing this movie it became clear the Peetime I submitted was the only safe time to go. The actual movie is only 76 minutes long, luckily my Peetime is about half way through it.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of AfrAId.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
