In Time.

Just SO MUCH wasted potential for the concept. I still liked the movie as some sort of guilty pleasure, but it could be so much more.

Flip phones.

Any other type of phone doesn’t quite get that ‘extremely periodic’ feel to it as flip phones do.

Edit: and I realised that the example of ‘no phones’ in the OG post is kind of eliminating this, but given the actions and often the focus on the phones that it requires instantly break any sort of immersion of the movie and make me think ‘oh this is old’.
