    I was blown away. I'll never look at a power grid, my pc or any form of electronic functioning product or device the same. I will watch this again.

    I watch all kinds of doc's. Always waiting for the next new one to come out. Boy, this one did not disappoint! Kept my interest the whole time. Even makes you worry about the next steps. That's how involved it/you are. I would recommend this in a heartbeat! For being almost two hours. Seemed like it was over in ten min. That's how crazy into it you become. Anyway, I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Soooooo worth watching!

    All the technical bits in the film have been in the public domain for quite a while now. This movies puts them together in a very dramatic way. The main message of the movie is not technical but instead attempts to show how important such behaviors are in the "Information Age" we now find ourselves in. Since the technical community has know about all this for some time then we should expect that they are currently and perhaps have already made decisions to implement the latest technologies in such a way as to make them resistant to some 'super-out-of-control' cyber attack. I am optimistic that careful planning, design and implementation of technology going forward may not make technology immune to attacks like the ones hightlighted in the film but can make technology much more resistant to such attacks. Of course, the ultimate plan for the development of technology is to open it up in such a way that no one group has privledged access that will it to attack another group.
  • So well done.

    It's a documentary. Total waste of money if you are looking for a movie.

    As usual Alex Gibney weaves an incredibly tense story with excitement, shock and even a little fun. I felt guilty at how much I enjoyed it knowing the outcome and the potential disastrous effect this subject has. Every time I see a movie by this guy I say I want him to explain absolutely everything to me.
  • Interesting Look Into World of Cyber Warfare

    I am an engineer and found this fascinating. I learned quite a bit about the Iranian Nuclear Program and Cyber Warfare and Security. That being said, I don’t think most people would like this movie because it is not really “entertaining”. You can’t be half awake snarfing popcorn, you have to be paying attention and thinking. All that said, I did rent this and that was the right decision as I would not want to watch this again. A solid 4 star “educational” rental.
  • A Definite Must-See!

    Alarming but not alarmist, this movie makes a clear and cogent argument as to the U.S. involvement in offensive cyber warfare. What Gibney makes a plea for (as do others in this film), is for an open discussion of what Americans want done in their name. As one interviewee says, “What we do to others, they can now do to us.” ‘Zero Days’ is well worth the watch.
