A brilliant hacker inadvertently sets the wheels of World War III into motion after hacking into a restricted online gaming network and learning of a national defense system designed to identify fledgling terrorist cells in this belated sequel to the popular 1982 thriller. There isn't a system on the planet that Will Farmer (Matt Lanter) can't hack into with a little work, so when he manages to breach the security of a restricted online gaming network known as R.I.P.L.E.Y., he's convinced that his skills are still as sharp as ever. But what Matt hasn't realized is that R.I.P.L.E.Y. is actually a highly classified government defense system, and he's just become its next target. Now the system knows his identity, and his entire hometown faces the threat of an automated military response. In order to clear his name, Matt will have to beat the computer at its own game. The game turns deadly, however, when R.I.P.L.E.Y. suddenly raises the stakes, threatening Armageddon in a time when the world is already dangerously unstable. With no time left to lose before the missiles start to fly, Matt must now use his formidable hacking skills to save the world from the government's own hopelessly flawed doomsday device. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

James B.

The plot is utterly ridiculous, a single computer that controls every single thing in the USA, and is allowed to kill and release chemical weapons on its own country whenever it wants? We are also supposed to believe that the Whopper computer from the first movie can somehow 'out compute' the new computer, which is laughable since by todays standards the whopper probably has the computing capacity of a calculator. The lead girl is so ugly its makes you cringe watching her perform. The hard-hacks performed in the movie are true, but almost all of the computer interactions and software hacking are total movie BS as in most other hacker type movies. This is unforgivable as hacking is such a big part of the plot and what a lot of people loved about the first movie.

EVELYN G.

Just not good. It feels wrong and failed to hold my attention. This is coming from someone who is very easy on movies and likes almost everything.

Yes   |   No


Naveen C.

Interesting, but not interesting enough. Definitely, could have been better.

Yes   |   No


Jeff H.

A very good sequel.

Yes   |   No


Jeff S.

This "sequel" is an abomination and an insult to the original. Cringe-inducing and painful to watch. The original "WarGames" deserves an apology.

Yes   |   No


Kevin M.

Hated it. Cheesy story and dialogue. The original was great, this one just stinks.

Yes   |   No


Edward M.

The first wargames was a really good movie. The second one was pretty good, but it wasn't as good as the first one. This was kind of like terminator rise of the machines meets war games.

Yes   |   No


Tracy M.

this was just "okay" - pretty good plot, though, so worth the rental.

Yes   |   No


KENNY S.
