This is a movie with an all star cast in my mind, but didn't quite hit the mark. It stars Tom Hanks as Bailey, CEO of a mega giant computer company, and Emma Watson, as Mary, new employee. Annie (Karen Gillan) helps recruit her, and over the course of the movie sees Mary move up while she moves down. This company is a bit different, in that the philosophy is that the company owns you, and they are able to actually do this through their cameras, and computer soft ware. They know everything there is to know. When this goes wrong, and Bailey's boyfriend (Ellar Coltrane) ends up driving off a bridge as a result, the tide turns. Ty (John Boyega) is an important character. He developed the soft ware, but is not pleased with how it is being applied. Mary and Ty decide to do something about it.
Sheri and I went to this movie. Sheri thought it was great, except for the ending as it didn't really end. It has that eerie feel to it which is popular. Sheri thought the company it was portraying may have been Apple. It was in the Bay area, with a large circular campus. Apple is finishing their circular building in Cupertino, and is also in the Bay area. I was not so enthusiastic about the film. I think these stars could have done more.
