    You wouldn't believe how bad it is
    Sure, the original film was quite campy. But casts a glance on so many things - the rising hacker scene, the beginning of home computing, the first AI studia, the technological war between USA and URSS, etc - that everyone reminds it as much more than a teen movie. This one at the contrary fails from every point of view - all the ideas are much better realized in other movies, the FX tremendously suck, the IT aspects are ludicrous or hardly outdated, there is no climax, and even the main characters are not credible as high school students. If you don't expect nothing...turn to another flick. This is just bad.
