Blobbo X Pale, silly, slow-moving, mostly Canadian imitation of Wargames, which came years later, so how is that possible? hahaha. Machines cannot feel or want. Computer voiced by Paul Frees --- naturally. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this film. Calm, reasoned scientists trying to figure out how to defeat an empowered computer that is ready to take over the world. Clever dialogue, firm acting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an old movie, back when computers were in their infancy. Yet it is totally unsettling and should be watched as computers take more and more power in our lives. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Thank God for Myspace. Let me explain; so back when MySpace was still in it's peak, I was following a band called Does It Offend You, Yeah?. I don't remember the exact context, but they used clips from this video (or maybe it was a trailer) and it piqued my interest. A bit of digging led me to the movie itself, and almost ten years later it's still one of my favorite films. One of it's more unique features to me are all the in-depth character interactions. Most movies will generally gloss over small talk and banter, which is not a bad thing. While I do enjoy this movie, I can imagine it feels a bit slow to some people. However, I feel like it helps make the characters feel like real people. Watching Forbin's team interact with each other gives you a sense that these people have worked with each other for a long time and know each other quite well. The back and forth between the President and Forbin showcases that while there is a sense of trust between the two, there is still tension between a man who's creation is slowly escaping his control to a man who must decide to stand up and protect his people, or submit to the whims of a rogue AI. The only downside of this movie is that it is part one of a trilogy, and we'll never see a sequel in film form. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member not as great as you'd think slow, overly-talky, and the ending was unsatisfying I guess you could call this a pre-'War Games' but trust me that is far superior to this not my cup of tea Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a really cool concept here, one that I should love. But my God.... it was excruciatingly dull! It actually took me three tries to get all the way through this, without falling asleep....
