College dropout Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), together with his friend, technical whiz-kid Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), sparks a revolution in home computers with the invention of the Apple 1 in 1976. Built in the garage of Jobs' parents, the device -- and the subsequent formation of Apple Inc. -- have changed the world for all time. Though he is viewed as a visionary, Jobs' tenure as Apple's leader is a rocky one, leading to his eventual ouster from the company he co-founded.

Critics Consensus

An ambitious but skin-deep portrait of an influential, complex figure, Jobs often has the feel of an over-sentimentalized made-for-TV biopic.

A Steve Jobs biopic steeped in the mediocrity its subject despised.

D-

Too often the audience is taken out of the scene with thoughts of" Hey, isn't that Ashton Kutcher?" simply because the portrayal comes off too contrived.

2/5

Jobs' remarkable life and persistently prickly personality are simply too complicated and his roller-coaster ride to the top of the personal-computing business is simply too crammed with improbable side trips and switchbacks to distill into 128 minutes.

A decent film, more interested in character than chronology, and aware that every business myth is also built on flaws. [Full review in Spanish]

One has the distinct feeling that Jobs himself would have been particularly unimpressed with Jobs the movie.

The film's major moving parts are damaged, effectively crashing the machine. Send this one back to the factory.

This movie had a great beginning with them starting apple and what it soon became. It never got to the point where apple became truly revolutionary which i was waiting for.

I've followed Apple since the beginning. This movie is very accurate. I first used an Apple 2 in 1981. I saw the Macintosh Super Bowl Ad when it premiered at the start of Halftime in 1984. The only thing missed was Jobs and his staff visiting the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and discovering the Graphic Users Interface and Mouse. But, the movie didn't have time for everything probably. The movie follows both the invention phases of the Apple, Apple 2, Lisa, and Macintosh and all the business and politics issues that followed. It is a good piece of History. Well Done Movie.

This movie really captures the start of Apple as a company. We can see the struggle that Steve Jobs had during his life working at Apple, and in his personal life. Despite the critics, I really enjoyed it!

The darling of YouTube Shorts, which is funny as I had to watch this in three sittings. Jobs famously wanted his products to look beautiful, inside and out, and with some nice era-appropriate set design and cinematography, we get at least halfway there with this Jobs. Unfortunately, it’s not the half that matters and we care little for anyone, or anything, despite the rousing orchestral scores’ best efforts.

They cut the ending short by about 10-15 minutes; if you watch the film you'll see what I mean. But the movie does paint an even handed portrait of the late tech legend. It's certainly not all sunshine and rainbows. Ashton Kutcher was solid and this biopic, while forgetabble, wasn't horrible.
