Rating:
This movie is one that when it came out was pretty cool. In the years that have passed some of the special effects are really dated. We still don't have and most likely never will have some of the technology that they show in the film. 3D file storage, the little clip eye thing, main frame rooms with files viewed on tower like displays and just some things they threw in the movie to make it look cool. Overall this movie is a classic and is a movie that anybody that likes technology should watch. It is actually fun to watch this and look at were computer technology has gone since this film. If you are going to watch this movie take into account when it was made and enjoy it for what it is.
