I mean… that’s not entirely wrong? It’s a 90s teen hijinks movie but with computers

It gets respected for hewing fairly close to the hacker ethos, or at least what it was at the time, and not misusing tech concepts too badly. Good soundtrack too. May as well watch it to get a few extra references that get dropped around here

Good soundtrack too.

it made the smart decision to use orbital's "halcyon + on + on" even if it wasn't the first movie to do so

it wasn't even the first movie to do so in late summer 1995

it's fun and a bit goofy, it has a solid cast. idk if you'd like it but as someone who saw it in my early teens, i loved it and i rewatch it occasionally.
