Pirates of Silicon Valley

Pros: Engaging story, very informative
Cons: Those who aren't interested in computers probably wouldn't give it a chance

I have to say that I was really excited to be invited to DavidK93's write-off in celebration of his second anniversary at Epinions. I guess it was because I immediately knew what I wanted to review. Having to pick a movie from a former brat packer, it...

Pros: Fascinating depictions of character traits, and historical accuracy.
Cons: Didn't delve into certain specifics as much as might be desired.

There they go, down the bunny trail. The bunny trail to massive, computer-fueled riches, I mean. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are two of the Information Age's archetypical players, so it's only right that they be portrayed in the medium most ...

Pros: This movie is informative, fast-paced and has a well-structured story line.
Cons: The plot tries to cram 20 years of business into two hours of drama

This movie about the emergence of the PC industry focuses primarily on Apple's Jobs and Wozniak, and to a lesser degree on Gates, Ballmer and Allen. It follows these five individuals - from their early days as college kids, on through their ...

Pros: highly enjoyable look at two pioneers of the personal computer
Cons: ends at a weird point

This movie is about two pioneers of the personal computer industry, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. As almost everyone in english-speaking countries knows, Bill Gates is the filthy-rich founder of Microsoft. Steve Jobs is the...

Pros: Pretty accurate portrayal of history, must see for the tech savvy
Cons: Bit short (96 minutes), seems a little biased against the industry

When the movie originally aired on TNT last year, I thought it was remotely interesting and taped it to watch later. However, I turned on the TV to see what it was like, and ended up watching it twice more that night since it was on three times in a...

Pros: Historically accurate and entertaining, too!
Cons: A bit melodramatic

Being intimately familiar with the history of technology, this movie appealed to me as a documentation of the world-changers of my generation.

Anthony Michael Hall and Noah Wyle are perfectly cast as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, respectively....

Pros: Interesting, acting, enjoyable theme
Cons: have to understand apple to really appreciate the move

Falling into the buildup provided by TNT (or was it USA Network), I eagerly anticipated this movie last spring. Wanting to know just what it was that came together to build the richest man in the world--Gates--and what was perhaps once thought to be the...

Pros: Interesting
Cons: Shooting style not the best

Pirates of Silicon Valley is a fun recreation of the lives of two of the most influential men on our modern era, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. The script follows a documentry feel so its almost like watching a cross between a&e and tnt. What impressed...

Pros: neat personal tidbits about Gates and Jobs
Cons: simpleton Hollywood generalizations

The main gist of this TV movie seems to be that everything in the computer world today was stolen from Xerox's Palo Alto research center. Jobs came and stole the mouse and GUI and then Microsoft in turn stole these ideas from Apple. The important but...

Pros: Informative, and interesting portrayals
Cons: Its not for those who are seeking action, horror and much comedy

This is a movie that is sure to fool many viewers. At first glance, it does not even seem to be "good" enough to make it to the box office. Secondly, it is a documentary-type of movie about computer "geeks" like Steve Jobs from Apple computer and Bill...
