Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

This is a Movie Health Community warning. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies, and does not reflect the quality of the film itself.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is fully stylized to look and feel like a living comic book. There are a lot of severe strobe effects, including some caused by abstract artistry on display throughout the whole film.

As with all other Spider-Man films, there are scenes filmed at extreme heights and speeds. Several scenes are filmed sideways or upside down, with complex motion from the cameras, including barrel rolls. There is also an effect when objects are out of focus that make them appear twice, as if watching a 3D film without the glasses.

Flashing Lights: 10/10. Motion Sickness: 10/10.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: There are a few jump scares.

Into the seizureverse

I experienced into the spiderverse today because a friend really wanted to see it and me to and I struggled to truly believe that it would be as bad as @moviehealthcommunity said.

Now… I apologise. It was bad. I didn’t have a seizure but let me stress two things:

First

This movie is not for children.

Despite the age rating 12+ there were a couple of children with their parents with us in this film. The young boy next to us didn’t have the time of his life. He seemed quite scared at the end. Sitting on his mother’s lap and holding on to her. He might have enjoyed parts of it but he was suspiciously quiet most of the movie despite being a quite bubbly vocal lad before…

Second

My friend always told me when to close and open my eyes. But even for them it got straining.

Art and animation are amazing but the intro, a couple of fights in the beginning and the entire final fight I had to cover my eyes completely. Relying on my friend to tell me what’s going on.

In addition there are a lot of effects and scenes where flashes flickera etc turn up for short effects. Due to the bright colors they are quite intense despite being short.

The entire final fight is composed in a realm of red and blue light, colored outlines that are partly shifting add on to the intensity.

I watched marvel movies without struggle and I enjoy animation. I adore so many things they did in this movie but its a shame I will only ever get to enjoy the final fight in shape of maybe an artbook.

Don’t watch it alone. Take sb who will give you warnings or will tell you when the sequences end. Maybe.. Don’t watch it at all.

INTO THE SPIDERVERSE HAS LOTS OF FLASHING LIGHTS WITHOUT ANY WARNING

The title screen, which is around a minute long, is constantly flashing

The end scene, which is around 10 minutes, is also filled with flashing, almost without a pause

There are several instances of flashing during the movie as well, either because of the animation style or because the of the plot (sometimes both)

But just like in incredibles 2, the plot relies heavily on flashing and there’s a LOT more than in incredibles

PLEASE be careful because there is a LOT of flashing lights in this movie (and no warning)

I encourage everyone to reblog this, even if you’re not sensitive, you never know who you could save by informing them of this

Describing Pain

We spoonies all know what a joke the “happy face to sad face” pain charts are. The great Allie Brosh made a good post a few years back about the scale, but now they’re getting more specific with like “is it more of a throbbing, or a pinching, or what?” And it oftentimes doesn’t fit into any of these categories, so I’ve made up a few of my own for headaches:

like Palpatine is standing over you with his force lightning

like literal leeches have been planted directly on your brain and you can feel them squirming around and sucking the life out of you

like it’s in a vise (pretty common one)

like I WISH it was in a vise because it feels like it’s going to expand until it explodes

like some horrible giant Australia bug is sitting on the top of your head with its mandibles munching away at your forehead and the stinger in the back just going at your occipital lobe like you hurt its feelings or something*

like you just got hit in the head with a golf ball or something out of fucking nowhere

Like every photon that hits my eye is another little piece of shrapnel. Could you turn off the motherfucking lights, please?

*My most common type of headache. I’m wearing her as a hat right now.

Share yours! It might help someone else identify what they’re feeling and articulate it to a doctor.
