Sci-Fi Classic Review: WARGAMES (1983)

It was denounced in its day for being unrealistic, but WarGames was far more prescient than anyone wanted to believe.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I love this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.

In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews."
