thiago S @Thiagostone Apr 7 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD Mar 31 Tic-tac-toe doesn't get any more gripping than this. See more Phil H. @PapercutsAndJumpcuts Feb 18 WarGames is one of those movies that could’ve aged like a floppy disk… & somehow didn’t. I saw it in early high school, right as I was getting exposed to computers, which is probably why it imprinted on me — & on most of Gen X — as less sci-fi than documentary anxiety. It’s not really about hacking; it’s about adults building a machine that takes their worst instincts literally. Young Ferris Bueller, I mean Matthew Broderick, isn’t a mastermind, just a curious kid, so the danger feels accidental instead of villainous. The movie’s quiet terror (which I didn’t realize until a recent rewatch, oh, 40+ years later) is that nobody’s evil… just certain. And once certainty gets wired into a computer it stops blinking. The whole thing lands on that simple truth: sometimes the only winning move is not to play… not because that’s poetic, but because grown-ups with buttons shouldn’t treat the world like a scoreboard.

Matthew Broderick shines as David, capturing that perfect mix of curiosity and teenage mischief, while Ally Sheedy adds warmth and heart as his loyal partner in crime. Hard to believe this film is 43 years old, yet it still stands the test of time. Was it ahead of its time? Did it foresee the future? Could something like this actually happen today? Even with the high-stakes tension, it feels light-hearted and sometimes humorous, which makes it endlessly rewatchable. See more Charlie T @KIDCRITIC Dec 26 Watched WarGames this year. This is a Great 80’s movie, So the story of this movie is a boy who is basically a hacker and can hack into anything he logs in on a scientist’s computer during the cold war and he finds game one he picks is called Global Thermonuclear War he then has to pick places to abolish and the real government can see this and the us is threatening and they are try to save it and he does. The movie has good quality. The storytelling and acting is great. Overall I would give this movie 4.0 stars out of 5 stars. This movie however felt at some points personally let's get to the action. My favorite scene is when he is hacking in to change his grades. I would recommend this movie. See more Robert V @RT47656870 Dec 16 This movie definitely passes the test of time. Wargames explores AI presciently 40 years ago. I enjoyed that there are multiple characters that have autistic characteristics portrayed in a positive light. It kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting more. It had enough comedy mixed with high stakes situations and a plausible premise. See more Read all reviews
