Saw the flick yesterday. The the sum of the parts unfortunately, IMHO, can't save the overall miss of this one. The acting is good, but there is something missing. Not exactly boring, but it could have been much more. It covers about 25 years and feels like there's no real flow and gets repetitive on Jobs's personality and personal relationships both at Apple and in his personal life. And on that latter score, I did a quick bio search just to see how faithful that angle is to the real story. The answer is that it sort of is in the broad outlines, but there are some meaningful real life changes and people that the movie blows by for some unnecessary Hollywood reason.
Unrelated, I think I mentioned this before, but if you live in the New Haven area and haven't been to the remodeled old Showcase Cinemas on Universal Dr. in North Haven, it's great. The seats are like the best airline first class seats - plush with individual push button recline and foot extenders. A great place to snooze during a boring movie.
