I didn't watch this film during its time of release, and I can understand how insufferable must be to watch in a theater a movie that happens almost entirely in a computer screen. I watched it in a computer screen, which seems like the proper way to watch it, it also makes the horror-movie silliness more forgivable.

However, what saves this movie almost a decade later is not its concept, but a crucial decision in its execution: Unlike most films that use simulated operating systems and software, this film happens within the very real Mac OS X Yosemite, using real software and real social networks.

It's quite a treat to watch the actors use Skype, which was popular at the time, Facebook before it became a white-supremacist recruiting tool, and YouTube before it became unwatchable with excessive use of commercials. Because of this, this movie has become a time capsule that is hitting a nostalgic bone, less than 10 years after its release, and I am sure, it will be more pronounced in the years and decades to come.

This is why this movie has become better with time, unintentionally.

I am watching this movie for the first time since I watched it in a theater 22 years ago, and I am nor sure if it's nostalgia, but it has aged incredibly well. Humor, action and thrills are put together in perfect harmony. The pace, the production value, editing, even the comedic and stunt timing of the actors is flawless. The actors all look great, and they are at the peak of their careers.

It's classic Hollywood in every frame, perhaps it's the reason why it looked old fashioned, even when it came out at the end of the 90s. Now it's timeless. Everyone who worked in this film should be proud.

An old-school espionage thriller hiding in a superhero movie. The casting of Three Days of the Condor star Robert Redford, is no coincidence. Imagine a superhero from the era when everything was black and white, good was good, evil was evil. Alas, he is now living in a time when things are not as clear, and he becomes more paranoid as the list of people he can trust starts to shrink.

It took me several years for me to review this movie to see if it was going to age as well as I thought, and it has aged even better. The elevator scene that had me at the edge of my seat in a movie theater in 2014, is now iconic. I expect this movie to be referenced in the future the same way we now reference classics like Die Hard.
