They Were There Trailers

What does it mean to be an IBMer? Every employee experiences the company in different ways, but the global impact IBM has made on business and society over the last 100 years gives us all a common framework. "They Were There" is told by first-hand witnesses—current and retired employees and clients—who were there when IBM helped to change the way world works.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This is not a documentary. This is a promotional circle-jerk of IBM employees sitting around saying how great they are.Having said that, it is probably the best promotional circle-jerk you will ever see, much thank to Morris' use of his interotron, and savvy film-making skills. Still, it is pretty useless to anyone who is not an IBM'er.In other words: If you found this film because you like IBM, you will probably find it interesting and invigorating. If you on the other hand found this film because you're a fan of Errol Morris' documentaries, then you're better off watching a Coca Cola commercial.
