VHS Movie Reviews of WarGames
Movie Review: (In early 80's computer voice!) SHALL WE PLAY A GAME???
Summary: 5 Stars
Classic 80's movie with a brand new 25th Anniversary Ed. DVD!!! Great transfer of this classic film with great sound and a nice heaping of extras!!! Thanks MGM Home Entertainment!!! A worthy upgrade from the original DVD release from the late 90's A+ Classic stuff indeed!!!
Summary of WarGames
Cute but silly, this 1983 cautionary fantasy stars Matthew Broderick as a teenage computer genius who hacks into the Pentagon's defense system and sets World War III into motion. All the fun is in the film's set-up, as Broderick befriends Ally Sheedy and starts the international crisis by pretending while online to be the Soviet Union. After that, it's not hard to predict what's going to happen: government agents swoop in, but the story ends up in the "hands" of machines talking to one another. Thus we're stuck with flashing lights, etc. John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) directs in strict potboiler mode. Kids still like this movie, though. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, director commentary, optional English, French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom KeoghMilitary & War VHS Video
