Just Fell Flat

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2016)

The history of Steve Jobs and of Apple is a story rich with drama, colorful characters, and exciting twists and turns. And even with all of that, this movie turned out to be quite boring. It just didn't pull you in and the script failed to make me feel anything for anyone in the film. Steve's daughter Lisa seemed to be the most relatable character....but the movie wasn't supposed to be about her. Seth Rogan was woefully underutilized and written for as Woz. Jobs himself was just portrayed as an intolerable jerk and nothing else.
I would not consider myself to be in "the cult of Mac", and even so, this movie was not insightful or revealing of anything regarding Steve Jobs as a man or the Apple Computer company. I gave it four stars because it was interesting to see how some of the key players were situated during Apple's 1984-1998 run. But other than that...it just wasn't interesting.
