MartianOctocretr5 Marina Sirtis should fire her agent for getting her in this. Her talent is thoroughly wasted here.Machines-gone-berserk story that builds upon a goofy premise. This time, a computer virus is downloaded into a sensitive program, in a manner beyond the sublimely ridiculous. The perpetrator of this nasty scheme is a psychotic guy who giggles like a baboon and sweats from his forehead a lot. He's an irate employee who got fired, and his unwitting accomplice is the teen-angst-ridden crybaby son of the guy that did the firing.Once downloaded, the virus blows up things in Russia, takes over appliances, shoots rockets at cars, plays with traffic signals, talks too much, and does a pitiful impression of Hal 9000 from "2001." The kid, the dad, the psycho, and Hal 9000 Jr., all get on your nerves pretty early on. There is one character, apparently based on Stephen Hawking, who had the potential to be interesting, but the film does not give him much screen time, nor does it develop the character enough. Marina (as teen-angst's mother) really tries, but she is given very little to do, other than scream or run in terror.If you turn your brain off for 90 minutes, and just want a good laugh, the film is OK for that. However, if you're looking for a plausible story, this one is just a terminal error.

Habib (movie_obsessed_dude) POSSIBLE SPOILERS INCLUDED!How could a group of people deal with this ultimate poor plot? Though it had little poorly exiting shots which undoubtedly make you yawn! The lack of reality and even consistency in the plot could be easily observed with poor acting conducted by three main people. The fake relationship going between main people was damn simple and idiot enough to let you go through with it completely.The worst part of this movie could be addressed to where Brad found the server infected by that stupid virus and was trying to stop it by pushing two buttons on a GAMEBOY!!!Has little funny stupid elements to waste your time on!!!Habib's Assessment: 2 / 10!

lottatitles We're supposed to believe a computer goofball gives a 'virus' to a kid in a song which gets on the kid's dad's computer and infects multiple city facilities...killing people and blowing up phone booths. Yeah, and the virus is a 'smart virus' which makes judgement calls. No thrills, no monsters to watch (unless you count Timothy Busfield (goofball); or Michael Nouri looking very old, and not even remotely giving a performance. Marina Sirtis is very ill-used here. I hope she smacked the screen writer and the director after she saw this drivel.

JohnBeatty ***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD***I'm not sure which is more ridiculous, the idea that almost every piece of electronic equipment, whether or not it is hooked up to the internet, can be controlled by a malicious intelligent computer virus, or that the anti-virus was programmed on a Game Boy.This is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. I knew it was going to be awful in the first five minutes when a virus inside an MP3 file caused a nuclear power plant in the Ukraine to explode. The explosion itself was brought to "life" by some of the worst computer graphics I have ever seen outside 1980s video games. I only watched the rest of the film out of morbid curiosity and hope of a bit of a laugh.The basic plot is an old partner of a computer automation mogul wants revenge, and also to destroy technology, so he creates a virus to bring the company down. But the virus is intelligent and decides to kill all life on the planet. Somehow, the virus manages to get access to all electronics and tries to hunt down the head of the company, Brad. The virus manages to track Brad all through the city on security cameras and webcams, which are everywhere. Or rather two different security cameras, shots of which are shown repeatedly. Every computer in the film has a webcam, so the virus can see anyone using it. In fact, every computer in the film looks exactly the same.Not only that, but through some kind of hidden speakers and microphones, the virus is able to talk and listen to people. It is also able to move things which are not motorized. It is also able to spike power in exactly the place it wishes to cause sparks and fires. It controlled a gas pump to make it dump gasoline on the ground, then blew up a sign and shot sparks right into the gas puddle. Good aim, virus!This would be perfect fodder for MST3K were it still on the air. I'm sure all of Marina Sirtis' fellow Star Trek cast members laugh at her behind her back for ever agreeing to be in this travesty.
