This movie was well made

There was care with making this film. The soundtrack was good, the characters were interesting and fun to watch, the pacing was perfect.

Of course the technology is outdated like most computer films and there is one scene with obvious product placement that made me laugh, but the heart of the movie still resonates. Its a gem of film.

people run down the fake hacking swirly light scenes, but that beats watching screen code for hours instead

Some things need to be shown in an exciting way when its a movie, so it doesnt bother me either.

I thought the way they did it, was fantastic. Keeps the viewer interested which is always the key.

I've always liked it. The visuals as they search for the file remind me of William Gibson's stories and I think calling the mainframe the Gibson was a neat touch.
