$movie_name is not the worst movie out there by a long shot. It certainly doesn’t deserve to ride the coattails of the original movie though. It helps to keep that in mind if you decide to watch it. It prevents some amount of disappointment.
In this case, $movie_name is set to “WarGames: The Dead Code”, but I think we all understand why it’s a template.
Not to mention, a lot of these movies are awful. For instance, the first movie on the list is, inexplicably, "WarGames: The Dead Code". Not the classic "WarGames", but a horrible direct-to-video sequel released in 2008.
Have you watched the movie "Eagle Eye"? How about "WarGames: The Dead Code"? If not, please do. Both, in their own way, have some interesting points regarding the risks involved in using A.I. in warfare, as well as the reduction of complex social interactions to mere graph theory and statistics.
The movie was made even awesomer (a real word) by the absolute turd of a sequel that was WarGames: The Dead Code.
On second thoughts: what sequel? I do not know of its existence.
