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.

Got this back when I was pregnant, but I’ll be keeping it forever, it’s just so handy. I don’t go to the movie theater that often (even back before quarantine when you actually could…) but I make sure the app and the movie list are all current and updated, cause it’s so handy! It’s great for running late cause you can read their summary, obviously awesome for bathroom or snack breaks mid movie, and I also love that it tells you if there’s anything after the credits which is very handy.
