Told from the points of view of Jobs's and Gates's collaborators--Steve Woziak and Paul Ballmer, respectively--the film intelligently charts each camp's bumpy ride from garage experimentation to industry domination.

Un-sexy & un-"romantic" film irritates

byBetwixt Feb 18, 2000
32 Helpfuls 33 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A film of plastic elegance
Cons Boring, forced, & lacking any moral or emotional value.
Recommended it? No

An ample volume of bared breasts and buttocks would indicate the Director intended this to be an erotic film. It's not.

The not-so-"romantic" leads are irritating both as melodramatic, self-involved individuals, and as disinterested lovers. Their reasons for remaining together are... Read full review »

Pros Engaging story, very informative
Cons Those who aren't interested in computers probably wouldn't give it a chance
Recommended it? Yes

I have to say that I was really excited to be invited to DavidK93's write-off in celebration of his second anniversary at Epinions. I guess it was because I immediately knew what I wanted to review. Having to pick a movie from a former brat packer, it was no choice for me to go with Anthony Michael... Read full review »

Pros Fascinating depictions of character traits, and historical accuracy.
Cons Didn't delve into certain specifics as much as might be desired.
Recommended it? Yes

There they go, down the bunny trail. The bunny trail to massive, computer-fueled riches, I mean.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are two of the Information Age's archetypical players, so it's only right that they be portrayed in the medium most suited to the Age: audio-visual. Because,... Read full review »
