Hack the planet

I love the aesthetics, the costumes, the language they use. Yes, the computer visualisations are all nonsense, but just staring at a console would be terrible cinema.

The plot isn’t amazingly complex, but it’s satisfying, and almost all the supporting characters get their moment to shine.

And if that wasn’t enough: Angelina Jolie.
