Chicago – The revolution in technology, that has allowed the world to change completely in just two generations, was led in part by dreamers in a garage. One of those “Edisons” was Steve Jobs – the creator of Apple Computers – portrayed with an inventor’s instinct by Ashton Kutcher.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

Kutcher, and the approach that director Joshua Michael Stern and writer Matt Whiteley took with the character of Steve Jobs, are the highlights of the film. There is great respect toward the passion in the dreamers and innovations, and that type of creativity that changes our way of doing and thinking. Where the film doesn’t score points is within the “inside baseball” elements of the Apple Computer corporation. There is too much time given to boardrooms, marketing managers and staffing decisions, and while this is intriguing, it isn’t as interesting as the reflective vision that Steve Jobs gave his products.

Lukas Haas plays one of Apple's first employees, Daniel Kottke, in Jobs, and when we caught up with the actor at the movie's La premiere last night, he told us Daniel actually watched him in action on the set. Lukas also talked about Ashton Kutcher's commitment to his role as Steve Jobs and weighed in on his pal Leonardo DiCaprio's Flyboard adventure - Lukas told us that while he wasn't along for the fun, he did have a friend that gave the Flyboard a try and "almost died."...

Unlike one of Jobs' own innovative creations, the details in this disappointing film don't add up to one spectacular whole

I'm not what you would really consider an Apple fanboy. I have an iPhone and I'm typing this on a falling-apart MacBook – a Pro, like a hooker – but I don't really know much about Steve Jobs, the modern messiah of the pocket gadget age. I know the basic outline, of course, as does anyone with even the vaguest knowledge of pop culture, but I'm certainly not an obsessive. But what I do know about is movies, and after seeing the premiere of Jobs at the Sundance film festival I can definitively say this: it sucks.

Yes, Jobs is bad, even worse if you spell it as jOBS like Diet Mountain Dew spilled on your keyboard and the shift key got stuck forever. It starts off in 2001 with Ashton Kutcher...

This new trailer for "Jobs" is slightly groovier and less serious than the one released before -- and longer than the one released on Instagram, natch. This time around, the focus is more on Jobs's younger years, as he and Woz (Josh Gad) and their kooky crew start cooking up computers in Jobs's garage.

Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us" provides the soundtrack to Jobs's rise -- you know, "return of the Mack" and all that -- while The Who's "Teenage Wasteland" is a nice emotional bookend as Jobs fights to reclaim his company. We also get a meatier peek at Ashton's take on the older Jobs, in his traditional black shirt and jeans, and glimpses of his family life. Of note: There is 100 percent less shirtless and/or shoeless Kutcher, too.

"The Original Innovator. The Original Rebel." Open Road Films has finally debuted the first full trailer for Joshua Michael Stern's Jobs movie, the biopic about Steve Jobs, played by lookalike Ashton Kutcher. The film first premiered at Sundance this year to mixed reviews, and this trailer really goes all out selling it. No surprise there - it is Steve Jobs here. The ensemble cast of Jobs also includes Josh Gad as Steve Wozniak, Lukas Haas as Daniel Kottke, James Woods as Jack Dudman, Matthew Modine as John Sculley and plenty others. I hate to say it again, but they show a lot of the film in this trailer, so watch out. Give it a look. Watch the first theatrical trailer for Joshua Michael Stern's Jobs, originally from Yahoo: Jobs is directed by Joshua Michael Stern (Neverwas, Swing Vote) and written by Matt Whiteley and tells the true story...

Discovery has ordered a documentary on the life of the late Steve Jobs, with the Mythbusters duo on board to host. The network is teaming with NBC’s Peacock Productions for iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World, a one-hour special. Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, who celebrate the spirit of innovation on Discovery’s hit Mythbusters, will host the show.

“Someone once said that to follow the path that others have laid before you is a very reasonable course of action, therefore all progress is made by unreasonable men,” Savage said. “Steve Jobs was an unreasonable man. He didn...
