This is a movie where you constantly will be commenting about how stupid and unrealistic one scene after another is. It could have been a good movie, but it just gets too enoying, because you keep seing a computer doing the most stupid things, that no computer would, and people do things that doesn't make sence. They seem to have programmed the computer to kill intruders and vandalists!!! Watch it with friends so you can have a laugh at it.
I saw another version of this movie about 8 years before this one was released. There was a computer named Lola that was absorbing human energy and trapped a bunch of people inside a building. The newer version 1994 differed greatly from the original but the same theme was used. I like movies where computers take over some of my favorites are Demon Seed and Colusus the Forbin Project. I think one day computers will be smarter than humans possibly in our lifetime. I mean in my fathers day going to the moon was science fiction but today its an every day occurrence, these movies show the dangers of science and technologies continual progress and are to be noted.
You should wait nothing deep from this movie, and nothing is what it delivers. There are times though where you're looking for just a pass-time and it's quite good at this. In fact I found it rather pleasant, as the directing is adequate and the acting not too pompous. The main idea could produce a very good thriller, but as another reviewer noted Stanley Kubrick has already taken care of this.
Unfairly trashed little telemovie I feel. Sure its derivative and non too brilliant in its execution (as it were). Simplistic tale of a computer techo who is taken on in a high-rise that is the domain of the computer-in-charge.....a la GREMLINS 2. The computer takes an instant dislike to Reiser and after multiple "violations" marks him for "deletion"
Sure, just about everything you see has been done before...but hell its still entertaining in a B-Grade, got-nothing-else-to-do-anyway kinda way! OK, the script is crap....the fx somewhere between acceptable and less-than-average but Reiser's infectious attitude keeps the thing's head above water!
A solid 5 which makes the thing not a total loss. Watch it, have a laugh!

Even though this film is really dumb and unoriginal there is a fun feel to it. Sides, you got to love a movie where a computer really hates Paul Reiser and tries to kill him. (after those damn phone commercials I don't blame him. Candice Bergen is still worse) It's great for a night were you and friends want to heckle movies. Enjoy this little cheese ball. I did.
