The documentary about the history and evolution of the Apple Corporation was an intriguing look at how innovation and determination can even out last the original vision of a company. Despite what would seem like the early demise of one of the worlds most known technological companies, Apple survived into the twenty first century and has become the leader in revolutionizing the way humans live. This film was a compilation of interviews with individuals who had either worked for Apple or had an extreme fondness of the machines. The level of impact that they Macintosh has had on society can be seen in the change from a PC era to a more leveled playing field were the both PC and Mac are on even ground.
Overall 4 stars out of 5 because as a fan of technology and learning more of the details such as the history of the evolution of the products made by Apple was interesting. Although, it was fascinating to hear the tidbits of information that I previously had no knowledge of. Stock footage and stills of the co founders of Apple are the dominant images displayed along with the different products produced by Apple in addition to the interviews with individuals who were tied to Apple in some way. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are the still idolized within the company because of the way they conducted their business. Although Wozniak wanted to create his product to be for anyone, Jobs wanted to market the product of the first Apple computer in 1976. However, the first Apple computer to be mass-produced and sold was the Apple II in 1977, which sold 5 million units. Wozniak left Apple in 1985 and soon after Jobs followed suit, which made the companies success dwindle and almost collapse. In the end with the return of Jobs in 1997 Apple made a full recovery and even increased in popularity and is now a house hold name again.
With witty commentary and a story that almost didn't have a happy ending it was a most amazing treat to be told the story of what almost wasn't. “Good artist copy, great artists steal.” how very true this quote is about the film. The retelling of a story that most have never heard in a relatively short and entertaining manner I give this film an 8/10.

The review that Nick and Ryan did was very good. It hit most of the key points that the movie was about, and it was very interesting. It also did not give to much information out and did not ruin the movie, but it gave just enough information so that the reader could understand what they were talking about even without watching the movie. There was a lot of facts in their review and also gave their personal opinions on the movie.
