Movie Reviews

Most of the reviewers here must be born after 1990 or born before 1950

This was made in 1994-1995 at the beginning of the internet craze and the dot-com bubble, and this movie was wholly appropriate for the time era considering many people were just starting to get on the internet at this time. There are a lot of flaws in this film I agree, which is why I have rated it a 6, but my main complaint here is some of the reviewers on this site. Granted this movie was made at the beginning of the internet era, but some people on here make it sound like 1995 was back in the "horse and buggy" days. Either they were born after 1990 and don't remember a time without the internet or they are old as heck and were finally dragged down to the computer store just recently by their kids to get their very first computer.

Ordering pizza's online in 1995

This is one of those movies I loved as a kid. I gave it another watch now that it's on Netflix but sadly didn't live up to my memory. The movie has an interesting premise, especially for 1995: everything we do or own is just data on a computer. What if someone decides to change all that? It's a cool idea but it's not executed well with very little excitement.

Still, some things I learned:

  • You could order a pizza on the net in '95
  • You could already book a plane
  • You only had a fancy BMW if it had a carphone
  • She's using an Apple, I should have bought apple shares in '95
  • Sandra Bullock was really hot in '95. Probably the main reason I loved it as an adolescent
