Review: jOBS



The genius behind one of the most recognized companies in the world, Steve Jobs, died on October 2011. His life certainly deserved to be portrayed in film. This is our review of 'jOBS'.


By Staff
Were you expecting the same we were from this picture? We were thinking it was going to show us the creations, the persona, the impulse and the huge hurdles and struggles Jobs had to endure throughout his life.
In reality the film delivered just that. You get to see some aspects of his professional life and the birth and eventual astronomical growth of his company, Apple. Unfortunately, that is all the film has to offer.
It is simply a timeline, no more, no less. A Biography channel special might have provided us with more details and insight perspectives.

We do learn about the lives of Steve Job, Woz (that not so well known colleague who practically invented the first Apple computer), the investors, the engineers and everybody else who had something to do with the company's development, fall and eventual re-launch, but what fails almost entirely is the feeling behind it all. The sequences that portray the difficult times they all went through are either erroneously directed or, maybe, horribly edited.

Ashton Kutcher's performance in the main roll isn't that bad, in facts it is daring in a way that it shows us a side of Jobs' persona that few are aware of. In other words, it does not sugarcoat his egocentric ways, the beyond-the-limits push or his lack of interest to be more in contact with his human side.

The film does what it should but we felt that the man behind the iPod, the iPhone, the personal computers and the coolest technological devices in the world deserved a much better cinematic effort.

7/10 Worth the Ticket Price.
