    A slice of the future-past.

    A bit of WOPR from Wargames and a bit of Skynet from Terminator, but pre-dating both by 10 years plus.

    To be watched, and enjoyed, for what it is - a view of a future from the minds of writers in the late 60s.

    It is not the computer technology that dates the film though, rather the fact that *everyone* is smoking... in the workplace. Shocking stuff.

    Welcome blast from the past

    I loved this movie as a kid but hadn't seen since 1985 so thought I'd revisit it with post-Terminator post-Matrix eyes and...it was still good. It's a product of its times - punched tape and capacitors, a Kennedy-clone president, everyone smokes and wears those only-in-the-60s costumes (shudder). But it's short, to-the-point, suspenseful, solidly directed, and thought-provoking. Well worth an hour and a half of your time! And, as another reviewer commented - great ending!
