I'd like to say that after I say that 20+" sun flat screen... I didn't care what the hell the movie was about... I nearly wet my pants.
It had the same quality as Hackers (except DRASTICALY more realistic) But it still lacked the cold hard facts that make the world go 'round.
I'm sure you all noticed that the satellites had a network address of 10.* which we all know is a private address and can't be accessed outside of the local network. And the amounts of fiber that were running in building 21... omfg... SCHWING!
The concept was neat, all in all it wasn't too horribly bad.
In the first parts of the movie where Gary Winston is trying to justify what he's doing, he makes some very good points that I think were valid.
However after that point... whoa nelly!
GAPING plot holes, misinformation and other such things that make movies that could've been good, not so good.
On the other hand me and my co-worker got into a conversation about what the secretary at our work would look like bald... You all saw Star Trek 1: The Motion Picture (aka horrible movie but the FX were neat)
You get the idea.
This is just another example of people who are ignorant of the way the world works being in power. The internet IS sharing files. if you're not sharing files, there is no internet. These people don't realize that everytime they go to yahoo to check their pseudo e-mail account that they're *gasp* sharing files, or everytime they check their favorite child pornography site, they're *gasp* sharing files. People just live in a world where they have no idea how anything works, and everything is taken for granted (at least in america anyway)
