I don't get to hit the theatres near as much as I'd like - but being a bit of a tech junky this one topped my list last Fall & I loved the movie. It was a fascinating story based on real life events. Gave me a real appreciation for Facebook, its young founder Mark Zuckerberg and the speed of implementation. WOW. The huge Hollywood movie actually came out in 2010 and Facebook was only started in 2004. Now that is fast. The exponential growth is jarring.
Despite my own misgivings about joining FB, I did eventually and am glad I did - it is a fun way of keeping in touch, and the power to reach so many so fast has been essential to our JKT "people community" business. And the story continues to evolve... Best line was by Justin Timberlake's character "take out the THE" in The Facebook.
