I enjoy films that make you think "has technology gone too far?" Channeling is a perfect example of this. Another example would be the film Her. What makes Channeling especially interesting is that the technology depicted here seems like it could happen in the very near future. This could very well be the next upgrade in social media. The part of the story involving Ashleigh (Skyler Day) made me think about how future generations of people seem to have less and less privacy in their lives. For example, today it's not uncommon to see a post on Facebook of a baby in the womb; that person was never given the choice of how present they want to be on social media. In Ashleigh's case, some of her most intimate moments were live broadcasted without her knowledge.
In addition to the thought provoking and sci-fi feel of the film, it also contains a fair amount of action (i.e. car chases), really drawing in the audience. Overall Drew Thomas does an excellent job with this movie. I highly recommend it.
