Review of Wargames (1962) by Jens S — 10 May 2008
A true child of the 80s this movie combines a cast of really familiar faces of that time with some early computer graphics and a story of cold war and atomic threat into a pretty decent thriller. The soundtrack and look of the early computers, floppy disks and screens alone is worth seeing this for nostalgic reasons but especially the second half of the movie is actually pretty exciting.
In the end the message is clear: there'd be no winner in an atomic war. Kids of today may sit through this movie in disbelief how things looked and worked 25 years ago. Those who saw this movie back then or at least lived in the 80s may appreciate it for the cheesy factor.
