10 year old me thought this was the most scientifically accurate representation of the inner workings of a computer and you couldn’t have convinced me otherwise.
50 year old me reluctantly admits that it’s a giant fantastic turd of a film filled to the brim with groundbreaking special effects, embarrassingly bad techno-gibberish, and … hmmm, Jeff Bridges was kinda cute back then. Five stars.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Tries really hard to cram a lot in this movie, and mostly failed for me.
I hate Trump as much as every other decent person on the planet, but the Ruffalo/ Collette scenes were so heavy handed and frequent I found them hard to sit through.
Overwrought with irrelevant or unnecessary backstory details, dream sequences, uninteresting subplots and characters.
Meh.
Took a little while to get going, but once it gets to the meat of the story I really enjoyed the rom-com / slasher line it walked well.
