CRITICS OF "WarGames"

Film4

Time might not have been kind to the look of WarGames, but with nuclear war still a very real threat, the picture's ability to manufacture suspense remains undimmed.

July 30, 2013

Resource

ReelViews

To me, the most enjoyable aspect of WarGames is when David is at work on his computer system. There's something wonderfully nostalgic about watching a guy play with such antiquated machinery and recognize that it was [once] considered state-of-the-art.

April 30, 2009

Resource

Total Film

What keeps it remarkably fresh is an unpatronising approach to what is ostensibly a kids' thriller, and a set of ideas (remember when Hollywood used them?) that rightly consign all the cradle modems and dot-matrix printers to the margins.

July 30, 2013

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

As a premise for a thriller, this is a masterstroke.

October 23, 2004

Resource

Radio Times

This inventive nail-biter is very much a product of its time -- blending the arms-race unease of the early 1980s with the beginning of the home-computer revolution -- but it still manages to both grip and entertain.

July 30, 2013

Resource

TV Guide

Slick and suspenseful, though a little heavy-handed.

July 30, 2013

Resource

Christian Science Monitor

It's far too simplistic for comfort -- and downright dangerous if it makes anyone think today's self-destructive forces will bow jovially out of sight as soon as we grown-ups loosen up a little.

July 30, 2013

Resource

Time Out

The first half has a sardonic edge to it, but the more seriously the movie takes itself the sillier it gets.

January 26, 2006

Resource

Chicago Reader

Classic humanist-didactic filmmaking, effectively presented as a thriller.

July 30, 2013

Resource

Variety

John Badham solders the pieces into a terrifically exciting story charged by an irresistible idea: an extra-smart kid can get the world into a whole lot of trouble that it also takes the same extra-smart kid to rescue it from.

March 26, 2009

Resource

Denver Post

As tense and effective now as it was 25 years ago. The worry back then was more about Soviet missiles than about credit card identity theft, but good filmmaking techniques haven't changed.
