Movie Reviews of Antitrust
Movie Review: I wish I knew computers this well...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun movie to watch, it has action and different people interacting, and they are all revolving around computers and the 'conspiracy' that's going on at the computer company 'N.U.R.V.' Gary Winston, the head of this company will do anything to meet the goal set to open his ambitious project of a global communications type service. He clearly didn't forsee how central character Milo Hoffman would react when he suspects something is wrong at NURV. His best friend and fellow computer genious is killed and that drives him to discover how Gary is collecting all his data for his project. Milo finds it hard to trust anyone after he uncovers secrets about his supposed friends. I like the movie overall... the music, plot, and characters. The extras included, like the commentary and especially the deleted scenes, were really interesting to me since I enjoyed the movie. It was suspenseful and has plot twists that did make it more interesting and was overall an enjoyable movie that I do recommend viewing atleast.
Movie Review: NOT BEYOND REALITY
Summary: 5 Stars
Call me an alarmist, but I see in this movie much more than an updated "Goldfinger" movie circa 1965.No, I'm afraid I see an updated '7 Days in May" intellect, controlled by brilliant, unstable,neo-Nazi civilian elements.Think about it. Robbins wants to be the first person to be able to control global communications and will go to any desperate measures possible to attain his objective. Were it not for Phillippe, he would have pulled it off. Most pictures involving "takeovers"in the past have involved some sort of military unrest or coup planning. In "Antitrust" we have civilian workers, many brilliant and well paid, working toward a common goal. The major problem is that Robbins is obsessed,unstable, and, armed with his "wannabes", an extremely dangerous personality: perhaps a Hitler in the making. Believe me, this is not your 1964 James Bond flick. By all means, see it, then see it again.Movie Review: great great great!
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie was wonderful. i'm a computer nerd and when i saw it in the theatre with friends and at the beginning they were scrolling code across the screen, leaned over and was like, 'i know what most of that means!' :)anyways, this nice little movie starring cutie ryan phillippe is wonderful in many aspects. first off it's semi-realistic. ok, murdering people to steal their codes is a little off the deep end...but people have murdered to get other things...so why not?
it's got a little bit of romance, deception, action, and mystery. all the people that are against milo (phillippe) the most surprising one to me was rachael leigh cook (even though in retrospect it should have been obvious). Although having the security guy end up being an alli of milo's was even stranger.
so, overall, i think this is one of phillippe's best movies.
Movie Review: Can't trust anyone
Summary: 5 Stars
What would you do if you got handed a dream job? Would you take it even though your friends thought strongly against it? Milo Hoffman, played by Ryan Phillippe, is a genius programmer and finds himself in this situation. He gets commissioned to work for a software company. This seems to be a great opportunity at first. He gets suspicious of the company he is now working for, after the mysterious death of his best friend. When he tries to find out why his friend was murdered he soon realizes he can't trust anyone. With the help of his 'true' friends he devises a plan to break open the dark secret of the company's success. This movie was a thrilling chess match. The plot seemed to be realistic. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie, that's why I give it 5 stars!!Movie Review: Believeable geek movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie presents a somewhat believeable computer geek story, which will be enjoyed by the general public but even more so by those in the computer circle.The movie opens with some character development with the "good guys" discussing the benefits of open source programming, which is a good hook to the hacker community but a concept lost on the general population. Unfortunately this concept is one of the focal points of the movie.
All in all the plot is good, not too predictable. Various tech elements that are thrown are are great. There are some subtle things that only techies will notice but they really enhance the quality of the movie. One of my favorites is a quick glimpse of a programmer wearing a red hat... obviously a reference to Bob Young.
