Good CS Movie?

**ninja9578** · 07-02-2008 02:14 AM

I'm teaching robotics to young kids this summer and I'm wondering what a good movie was for a day off? They're 5th grade so Terminator wouldn't really be appropriate

I was thinking either Pirates of Silicon Valley or Tron, both are good CS movies, but I was wondering if anyone knew a good one that had more robots in it?

iRobot with Will Smith was pretty enjoyable according to my cousin who is in the 4th grade now.. he watched it last year with me.

It wasnt bad or anything; tacky of course in some points but kind of held true to the whole robots gone bad theme. Had some decent effects and wasn't quite as "badass" as terminator lol.

To be honest dont really know of any great movies that stuck out to me with that whole scenario going on though.. so trying to narrow that down to a group of movies that would enjoyable to a different age group just makes things harder

sorry.

Transformers is win though, gogo!

What's a CS movie? Google only gives me what I think it means - Counter Strike.

Wargames
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/

it's old (1983)
but it's light-hearted, and suitable for kids

A young computer whizz kid accidentally connects into a top secret super-computer which has complete control over the U.S. nuclear arsenal. It challenges him to a game between America and Russia, and he innocently starts the countdown to World War 3. Can he convince the computer he wanted to play a game and not the real thing?

Counter-Strike was the first thing that came to my mind...so I thought that you were looking for something similar to Counter-Strike...

But I know what you mean and I have this one anime movie on the tip of my tounge but I can't remember what it's called...

Um... CS = Computer Science

I'll check out wargames.

It's long out of print
I shouldn't think you'd find it on the shelves of any shop

got a 1.5Gb XviD of it

I may, should the feeling take me, copy it to /var/ftp/ for no reason

let me know if you suspect the feeling to be possessing me
