Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac. (IMDb)
Artfully filmed, the pre-product launch setting blends nicely the personal and vocational aspects of Jobs’ life (though it does start to feel a little contrived the third time around), adds a thrilling sense of urgency to the proceedings (highlighted by a barrage of whip-cracking dialogue), and makes for a uniquely and appreciably focused biopic that aims to capture his character instead of his whole life story (it certainly hits its mark, but its focus is compromised a bit with the flashbacks).
7.5/10 (Really Good)
I loved this movie. I watch every so often, but I can’t see some people (including yourself) might not of think so high. The acting in this was incredible.

I’m with you there for sure, Jason! fassbender especially. My major beef was just that the format started feeling contrived after it was repeated. if it ended right after the first act as a short film it would have been probably a 9 in my books for sure.

I loved this movie. A similar story to most successful business owners who build big companies.
