I have a real soft spot for this movie because I have terrible taste.

90's hacker movies are where I find my bliss.

Carl Reiner LOVED this movie and I personally think it is because he was HORNY for Sandra BULLOCK.

RIP to a legend

oh to be a cute brown haired girl working in tech whose boat sex with a handsome british man leads her to discover the innate peril endemic to every citizen logging every detail of their entire lives all in one easily accessible place

This movie came out the same year I was born and I'm not sure who has aged worse

another incredible addition to my favorite genre, 90s movies about computers that have no idea how computers work! my friend who is a software developer was losing her mind. it's got EVERYTHING: hacking into the mainframe, "with one stroke of the key" sandra bullock dismantles the whole government (SHE JUST HITS THE ESCAPE KEY), an unexplained videogame on a floppy disk called "mozart's ghost" that's somehow connected to the government's security system, an homage to the carousel scene from STRANGER ON A TRAIN?? Every time I watch Sandra Bullock in "The Net" I am happily .rewarded

and while we were outside watching on a projector as sandra typed and failed to wear disguises, my neighbors were periodically setting off fireworks to celebrate tr*mp's defeat and it was lovely

In which Sandra Bullock plays your average computer programmer. Spending her days working the kinks out of of Wolfenstein 3d, and her nights eating internet pizza, everything takes a turn for the worse when she decides to take a rare vacation. A romantic liaison with a mysterious stranger leads to her having her identity erased by cyber terrorists. Boot up your DOS, it's 1995's "The Net"!

This movie has a well ahead of it's time concept and Bullock at peak likability, but as a thriller its about as floppy as the disks it features. Its biggest crimes include Dennis Miller (always a possible danger when watching 90's movies), completely unthrilling score from Mark Isham, and lacking the exciting set pieces that would make the near 2 hour run time worthwhile. Followed by a sequel that from a quick glance at the trailer looks 100x more dated and cheap despite being released a decade later.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

90s hacker movies are hilariously terrible i love them

"Listen, Babe, sometimes you just need to unwind and put on some Annie Lennox, order a pizza online from pizza.net(!), get in a chatroom, and accidentally hack into the DOJ's mainframe, capice? Ha-cha-cha." -what Dennis Miller says in my fanfic prequel to THE NET, which is a far more frightening reality than anything this movie could have predicted.

We need to talk about how Sandra Bullock pronounces "modem".

Kam im ZDF-Nacht Programm... und ich bin einfach drangeblieben, obwohl ich eigentlich nicht so viel Bock drauf hatte. Der Thriller, der eine Story nach Schema F bietet (eine Art Auf der Flucht mit mehr technischem Hintergrund) und wenig Überraschungen bietet, ist nicht sonderlich gut gealtert. Andererseits bietet Das Netz eine engagierte Sandra Bullock und ist mit seinen, klar den 90er Jahren zuzuordnenden EDV-Elementen irgendwie auch charmant. Ist also eigentlich letztendlich so, wie ich ihn in Erinnerung hatte, ganz nett eben!

1995's The Net supposes a world were the internet leads to massive amounts of cardio exercise

This movie is not as bad as I’d expected…but I was expecting a very bad movie. The depiction of technology is laughably unrealistic and the plot points are implausible, and after a while the endless cycle of capture/escape gets boring, but some parts are at least a little thrilling. It was fun to see how scared we were of the potential of computers and the Internet back in 1995, too.

There’s surprisingly little internet for a movie called The Net

kinda loved this lol

the net: who are you

serial experiments lain: i’m you but stronger

Came out the same year as you got mail, not sure what the parallel is but one defiantly has more “old man yelling at the sky” energy

Watched on Blu-Ray

Surprisingly effective identity theft thriller. Sandra Bullock is a computer programmer who receives a floppy disc that lands her in a major conspiracy. About a half hour longer than it needed to be, but still interesting, The movie takes a while to get going, but really picks up towards the end.

Despite this movie being over twenty years old, I’d never seen this before.

"She's here to use a computer"—on Sandra Bullock entering the Computer Convention

I've seen this before and was still so scared Sandy was gonna get caught. Don't know what to make of all the HIV/AIDS references in the film that barely relate to the plot. 🤔

Boring, even sandra bullock couldnt save it😔

Can’t believe Sandra Bullock invented “simp”.
