Critics Consensus

Factors beyond Gibney's control prevent Zero Days from offering a comprehensive look at its subject, but the partial picture that emerges remains as frightening as it is impossible to ignore.

3/5

It's remarkable how Gibney packs complex, jargon-heavy ideas into a neat package.

3/5

This documentary might be better titled Day Zero, because it features a doomsday scenario in which cyberwarfare shuts down the electricity grids and other networks of entire countries, using computer malware.

A shocking look at the future of international warfare, Zero Days is at its best when embroiled in computing language and incident breakdowns, and at its worst almost never.

3.5/4

Gibney effectively sketches out a very real danger floating in the ether of cyberspace and global politics, and he calls for an open discussion before the world's powers consider using their cyber-arsenal, or worse, the lights go out.

Gibney picks at the Stuxnet wound until it bleeds all over him and then blames the blood for being red.

Joe Biden (Robert D) and Kamala are going to save us from people with an IQ over 100. Ok😂😂😂. Hollywood just needs to stick to unicorns and leprechauns if we want to believe them

Extremely entertaining. It makes you aware of and think about things you wish you didn’t have to. The only thing that was sketch about it was the blonde woman that he made look like she lived in the Tron video game. She didn’t seem NSA-ish and her whole part seemed scripted. Like a movie. That’s why it didn’t get a 5 ⭐️ from me.

Suspenseful and real! Thought provoking! Well developed characters and DeNiro never disappoints. Hope to see more!

Anyone watching the current "drone mystery" situation must watch this compelling documentary. Only the terrible naive will believe it couldn't happen to *US*.

The topic is horrifying. The idea that cyber weapons can shut down the world is initially hard to understand, but the plot clarifies it perfectly.
