Editorial Reviews:
|
The revolution came when we weren't looking. It happened in a garage. In a dorm room. In countless hours of effort, imagining and intrigue. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates were changing the way the world works, lives and communicates. The event-packed saga of the quirky visionaries who jump-started the future unfolds with exhilarating, cutting-edge style in Pirates of Silicon Valley. Noah Wyle (ER) portrays Jobs and Anthony Michael Hall (The Dead Zone) portrays Gates in this chronicle of the fierce and often humorous battle to rule the fledgling personal computer empire. "The story is almost Shakespearean... it's a tale of lust, greed, ambition, love and hate," writer/director Martyn Burke reflects. And it's a success story unlike any other.

Summary: Bad luck!
Comment: I ordered Pirates of Silicon Valley and received Reservoir Dogs Special Edition instead!
Not that I don't like Reservoir Dogs (I love it) but one should receive what is ordered... :-(

Summary: If your a geek like me then you will love this movie
Comment: I loved this movie because it gives the Hollywood treatment to a computer geek fairy tale. Good movie, great portrayals, really helps you to understand the Apple/Microsoft/IBM/Xerox dynamic.

Summary: A Fun Little Romp That's Incomplete
Comment: The film is a great piece of entertainment, a composite of fact and fiction. Enjoy it for what it is, warned of what it is NOT: a complete history of the personal computer.
Customer Rating:
Summary: West Coast Wizards
Comment: I enjoyed this video story of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I am sure there is a lot more to the story of these two men but it was fun. Mark Twain commented on War and Peace by Tolstoy saying it did not have a motorboat race. Can't have everything!?! Is there a secret message here?

Summary: Historical Movie!
Comment: This is the epic, dorky, funny, and dramatic tale of the rise of Mac & Apple over IBM. I first saw this movie at my school, but we didn't get to finish it. I loved it so much I went ahead and bought it, and've watched it a few good times since then. I love it.
And take my word for it - I'm not one of those people easy to please with a movie. Get it, and you won't regret it. 'Nuff said.
