Good movie but could have been great

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2015)

I went and saw this movie with big expectations because I had read the biography and thought the colorful life and different areas that Steve jobs has lived and experience would make such a epic drama. I guess that expectation was the reason I was disappointing. As the description of the film says it The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac. It is those backstage dialogues that this whole film is about and it is very well made for what it is. But image what a epic film it could have been. So many aspects of the colorful and unique person that Jobs is wasn't reflected in this movie. For example the pre Apple times of being hippie and going barefoot to meetings. The retreats, meditations, and dropping acid. The aspects of his personal life and relationships. And the most interesting aspects about his journey: how the whole Apple story started in the Garage with Steve Wozniak - not included in the movie at all. Imagine what a fascinating, colorful, and dramatic movie it could have been by also reflecting on the beginning and the end.
On the other hand my wife actually liked the movie and was impressed by the dialogues and the character and the presence of Steve jobs, his single minded confidence and impenetrable aura about him.
