Being able to defeat terrorists and others who are threats using technology that would make deaths on one's side negligible or nil sounds like a great idea for a science fiction film. Right?!
That interesting idea underlies 'Weaponized'. The film may be less than enjoyable for many viewers, however, as it doesn't reveal much about how the weapon is supposed to work. Without introducing spoilers, let's just say that the technology or the weapon involves people controlling other people through some type of transference. I may be mistaken myself, but the transference seems to involve the use of satellites. Viewers who do not make that inference or come up with some idea about how the technology works will likely find the plot ridiculous and they will not enjoy the film.
This film is a great example of the value of having viewers provide feedback on films before their mass release. If that had been done here the producers would likely have been informed of the need to explain the technology so that it would be plausible to viewers. A little explanation could have gone a long way towards making this film better. They would have also likely received some other feedback that would have helped to turn this movie from a decent one into one that is first rate one!
The moral implications of the technology envisioned in this film are also interesting to ponder: Would the world be a better or worse place if people such as Hitler or Stalin could be terminated with ease? And a good answer might be that that is complicated!
