We're nerds. We love tech. We love sci-fi. And we love it when the two find each other in movies, so this article made total sense.
So, without further ado, we present to you some of our favorite movie computers of all time. Enjoy.
Icarus (Sunshine)
Hands down, one of the friendliest, most down to earth computers in cinema. Making her glaring (wakka wakka) debut in Danny Boyle’s massively underappreciated sci-fi epic, “Sunshine”, Icarus showed sensibility, courage, honesty, and faith in her crew, who had more than enough problems to deal with while catapulting towards the great ball-o-fire. She alerted Capa that a deep fried space zombie had managed to sneak aboard the ship. She let the psychiatric counselor Surl experience a moment of “white enlightenment” by letting him stare at the sun for “no more than three seconds” in what became one of our favorite moments of foreshadowing in sci-fi. She made the choices that her crew could not, even when it meant sacrificing the noble Captain Kanada to stay the course and save the crew to accomplish their mission. Icarus, both the computer and the ship, stayed etched in our minds far after the credits had rolled, and deserves to be known by sci-fi geeks as one of the coolest computers ever to grace the silver screen.
