College dropout Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), together with his friend, technical whiz-kid Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), sparks a revolution in home computers with the invention of the Apple 1 in 1976. Built in the garage of Jobs' parents, the device -- and the subsequent formation of Apple Inc. -- have changed the world for all time. Though he is viewed as a visionary, Jobs' tenure as Apple's leader is a rocky one, leading to his eventual ouster from the company he co-founded.

Critics Consensus

An ambitious but skin-deep portrait of an influential, complex figure, Jobs often has the feel of an over-sentimentalized made-for-TV biopic.

Film Comment Magazine

A Steve Jobs biopic steeped in the mediocrity its subject despised.

Reel Talk Online

Too often the audience is taken out of the scene with thoughts of" Hey, isn't that Ashton Kutcher?" simply because the portrayal comes off too contrived.

Austin Chronicle

Jobs' remarkable life and persistently prickly personality are simply too complicated and his roller-coaster ride to the top of the personal-computing business is simply too crammed with improbable side trips and switchbacks to distill into 128 minutes.

Rated: 2/5

One has the distinct feeling that Jobs himself would have been particularly unimpressed with Jobs the movie.

Way Too Indie

The film's major moving parts are damaged, effectively crashing the machine. Send this one back to the factory.

Rated: 5/10

It's just passable, which would not have passed Jobs' own standards.

The beginning is interesting but the story ends when Jobs comes back to Apple. In my opinion, the second act of his life was also very important because it showed the limitations that even a very bright man has, if he thinks he can make the best decisions in every field. In his case, Jobs paid with his life when he decided that he knew better how to treat his cancer.

Aunque la película puede ser entretenida el retratar la historia de alguien que adoraba la perfección con este producto tan insípido resulta un insulto.

I loved the actors, but the story and how it was directed were lacking. The ending did not make sense.
