Summary: Quite possibly the greatest movie ever made
Review: It's a well known fact that actors take what they can get before they make their big break. But Angelina Jolie, in her first major role, plays the sassy, sultry, and completely unatainable Acid Burn in this cult classic with the kind of raw strength that, once harnessed, made her so compelling in 'The Bone Collector'. While hacking itself is represented most unrealistically, with random bits of code flying around the screen in crystaline formations, the Hackers and the way they live is as true to life as it gets. Anyone who is new to computers won't appreciate how worked up the title charactors get over an active matrix screen with 'a million psychedellic colors' but a good movie is a good movie regardless of how outdated the technology may be.

Summary: Very unrealistic, but also very fun.
Review: This movie is grossly incorrect in the majority of technical aspects that are covered in it (such as the the GUI for the Gibson computer, or the simplicity of all the hacking that goes on.)However, with decent acting and a generally fun and engaging plot the movie pulls off an entertaining, if not true to life, scenario. The movie begins well, and ends strongly as well. All the characters (Lord Nikon, ZeroCool, Acid Burn, Phantom Phreak, Cereal Killer, and The Plague, as well as Joey who has no handle) are all well acted, and work well together. If you're looking for a peek into the lives of real hackers, or the hacker culture, or even realstic technical details, this is definitely not the movie for you. However, if you're looking for a cyberpunk film for some action and light-hearted entertainment this is it. Also, if you're a fan of pop, techno, and trip-hop check out the soundtracks. All 3 (that's right, 3) are very good.

Summary: Fake, but Fun
Review: This movie is ridiculously unrealistic. If it were this easy to hack in to most of the things that were hacked in to in this movie, more businesses would be doing some serious upgrading, which, they aren't. So the likely conclusion is that hacking into everything in a few seconds is not possible. However, I did think it was an entertaining movie. It was fun and light. At absolute best, it deserves 2 stars.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I love this movie. I know it exagerates the Hacker culture a little too far, but that doesn't take away from the great story that it is. This is definately one of the best 'computer' or 'tech' movies around. A must have for anyone who is into computers. Hackers may find it to be a complete comedy.
The only bad thing I can say about this movie (ie: 4/5) is that the video quality, although acceptable, is not up to DVD standards, IMO. The letterbox in which the movie actually is looks okay, but about 15% of the screen hight is wasted in a gre/black band above and below the letterbox. Then there's the regular wasted 20$ of the screen because its 16:9, but that's fine cause that's what I wanted.
Enjoy. Its a great film that I had watched at least 15 times since its VHS release, and probably about 6 times after purcashing the DVD.

Summary: Bad - bad - title
Review: Maybe the worst snobbish remake you could do on Wargames, Hackers isn't just unnacurate; it's the reason why you'll find all this new generation of kids that arrive at the Internet with the only desire of "beeing l33t". Worst favor that could be given to the underground/cyberpunk/hacker/whatever communities, showing just stupid kids who wanna be elite... at least with just a bit on computer knowledge the movie is laughable
Rating:
Summary: Good movie if you like cyber punk
Review: Over all great cast, good story, and lots of almost real, fake, artificial, generic computer stuff with a twist of insanity. Dade a computer hacker who just returns to the seen after probation, finds himself back in trouble after he meet a group of other young hackers who tick of yet another hacker. If you want to see what the hacker life is like this isn't the movie. But if you already follow the hacker seen, you will find a lot of the references amusing.

Summary: This Movie Is Awful
Review: I think my title says it all. Even if you're just an average computer user the blatant ignorance of this movie will drive you insane. Apparently the director thought that hacking had something to do with drifting through expanses of crimson colored space decorated with calculus symbols. I don't know anything about a movie being good because its so awful. I only know this: This movie is crap. Its two hours of your life that you'll never get back.

Summary: eh
Review: This movie had an ok story, but it was a bit too unrealsistic for my taste. First of all, there arent any huge mainframes that have all these flashy lights and sparkly equipment- maybe in the 60's. Also, it takes them about 2 seconds to download this gigantic, destructive, monstrosity of a virus onto a floppy disk with a 28k modem. But I guess the movie would be about 5 times longer if it was real time, not to mention the fact that the cops would have to run for practicaly 3 hours in order to get there just after copying this virus to a disk. But overall, it was an ok flick.

Summary: Entertaining and Fun
Review: If you want to see Angelina Jolie before she made it big time...here's your chance. Matthew Lillard supports well as the "Cereal Killer". A Cult Favorite.
