Epilepsy? I went to see the movie "Michael", a biopic about the life of .Michael Jackson from the start of the Jackson 5 to his first solo international tour stop.

I don't have that trigger, but I thought it was courteous.

I’ve been to many movies. But I don’t remember any movies warning how about seizures? Video games, and video game consoles have a warning on everything.
Yes . My suggestion is to wear sunglasses if you desperately want to see the movie but if you don’t care then don’t go . Better to stay true and away from triggers so you have less seizures
Decades ago. I think the last time I saw a movie at the theater was The Karate Kid. I was still young then.
I've seen warnings about it more and more these days but I haven't seen it come up in a cinema. A lot of the streaming services have added in.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I'm not to sure when they started doing it with video games in the US has but in Aus they had a campaign about it in the late 2000's early 2010's then it was standard around 2013. Its only really been in movies in Aus the last few years as far as I know. I would say streaming services are a big part of that.
