It won't win any Oscars but it might make 14-year-olds wonder whether it's really worth spending life in front of a screen.

Passably entertaining in spots, but doomed by its bungling of the thriller elements.

The climax actually pits Milo against Winston in a typing contest. If that sounds thrilling, this may be the movie you’ve been waiting for.

About five years behind schedule in anticipating and satirizing the stranglehold computer developers wield over the technology industry.
