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. -

That wild 70's view
A great film a little slow by todays standards but a fantastic window on the early 70's thoughts about computers. Basically if you build one big enough to fill a mountain it will take over the world. Also a great ending that you won't see in todays Hollywood blockbusters.
