Review: Micro Men

Despite being billed as a comedy-drama, the cast mainly plays it straight, save for Alexander Armstrong's strange portrayal of Sir Clive Sinclair as a second-rate Bond villian complete with wig featuring the straightest receding hairline ever known to man.

Micro Men captures the mood of nostalgia nicely enough, mixing in archive footage to great effect, but is let down by never really capturing the rapid rise and fall of the British computing industry it sets out to document - aside of one scene where Martin Freeman has a swish office for a minute, you'd be hard-pressed to tell whether they've struck it rich, or hit rock bottom, as things look exactly the same throughout.
