With the computer market exploding into success the last 20 years more and more movies are featuring people using computers. Being a computer geek myself, I expect a level of "technological reality" for the movies that are not in the realm of "sci-fi", but directors usually are feeding their movies with superficial scenes about computers just for the happy clapping from the computer-illiterate audience.

Though the plot of Antitrust was insultingly full of holes, the computer UIs shown in the film were top notch. Again, they were all probably director puppetware, but they looked and acted like a real computer, so that was refreshing. The worst is when "hacking" involves flying through some kind of 3d fantasyscape.
