If you have a seizure watching this flick that really sucks to have to hide your eyes from literally everything. You'd better just go and throw your TV out and never go to anybody's house that has a TV then.

I happen to like movies even though I have a seizure disorder. 
It just means that I have to know what the film is about before I think about watching it.

I haven't posted to this thread because I don't have epilepsy and I only knew three in my life, one when I was a little kid, one growing up who shot himself, and one in college, who went off to life her life somewhere else and haven't thought about it since. I am annoyed by the flashing lights though, they give me a headache.
I did have a seizure disorder, induced in me by the psychopharmatorture society. I had trouble watching flashy things then, but was tested for epilepsy and found not to have it. (the test was torture designed to kill an epileptic, wtf) still, they still give me headaches.
Generally I think the slower paced sci-fi are less flashy, but I don't know if that's a solid rule
The most obviously epileptic torture movie I saw recently was Escape Room. It was way past Silent Hill levels of flashy. Like any kind of cheap gimmicky horror tends to be. By contrast, I think some of the more sedated horror isn't, like Conjuring. But sci fi. hmm. I know 28 days later gets very hyper, is it epileptic? probably. it's not a stress reducer that's for sure. Ender's Game breaks my above rule definitely. it's mostly slow paced but the space battles are pretty flashy
IDK what's the measure here? flashing on screen? or overall tension level?
Count all my thoughts as pretty useless. Okay, trying now
Maggie wasn't hyper at all. or flashy. save a few zeking out moments she has.
I mean for calm slow burn I like Existenz, a nice suggestion, Another as I said, Thirteenth Floor
12 monkeys again is not flashy, there are some nice apocalyptic not flashy
Grabbers is a nice "sci-fi" horror with very limited sci-fi, and limited horror, mostly a comedy.
I feel I could pick out a good list if I were looking at all films in a list but my brain is falling out right now

It's not a lack of empathy. It's calling the idea that Oblivion should be something avoided by people with seizure disorders ridiculous.
You'd be fine watching this one, Brenda.

I'll have to look it up again as I am not sure now if I have seen "Oblivion" or not.
ETA: I just looked it up and I have seen it. Wasn't too keen on it but I did see it after you first recommended it Jack.

Sorry to hear you didn't like it. :(
No worries with your seizures though, right?

One of those things.
I don't seem to recall any problems but it has been a few months now since I saw the film.

I picked up a copy of the "Jumanji: The Next Level" because someone recommended it. This one has The Rock in it. I think there could be some scenes in it that I will have some problems with. Just closing my eyes to them.

Wow. We REALLY crossed our wires here. I feel that's probably mostly my mistake.
I saw Oblivion only like a month ago, so it wasn't me that recommended it before you watched it.
It looks like Oblivion was mentioned right here in this thread a LONG time before I saw it. You posted back in December of 2019 that you saw it and it didn't cause any problems for you.
The movie that I recommended yous see that you were going to check out was Virtuosity in the Garden thread.
Did you ever see that one?
Sorry... It's been ages since I've seen it so I can't say for sure if it's seizure-safe or not. It DID come out at a time where nobody was worried about that and a lot of the video games that came out had tons of screen flashes that they don't put in games anymore, so you should probably at least be on guard for it.
