Editorial Reviews:

The Movies answers a question that many of us have had: What if YOU were in charge of a movie studio? Imagine if you could make any movie you wanted, any way you wanted. Would you create epic action films? Campy b-movies? You can make it big in Hollywood by building the ultimate movie studio. Choose the scripts, control budgets, design & build sets, and settle into the director's chair and see if you can make a hit. Once you've created your box-office smashes, you can even watch them -- adding your own voiceovers and saving them to your Hard Drive or publishing to a Web site.


User Comments about the The Movies (Mac)

It's like Sims, but a much cooler idea, at least in my opinion. I go straight to the Sandbox mode where I can have ultimate control and make my little films. so I'll be inheriting a PC laptop soon and start to create all of my films there instead. It's all I've every wanted to do, make my own little movies, and this game provides me with a good foundation for that. My original actors don't hold their features on my computer, sadly. This will also open up the loads of great user content that I can't utilize on my mac either. The export feature is so easy.


The trouble with the game is it's so very limited in terms of sets, costumes, etc, though there are forums with lots of great user created content to draw from. I don't use the mogul bits of the game, so my review might not be suitable to help everyone who reads it. I'm currently on a Mac, so there are a few things that don't work as well or as smoothly as on PC. Overall, I do love this game and just wish the developers would release a nice updated version with lots more stuff and capabilities included.


Buy the Windows version and run it in Boot Camp, instead. I won't comment on the game's mechanics or details. If you already have Windows installed on your Mac, this runs great in Boot Camp, and it will cost a lot less.We don't have to take this sort of blatant robbery. I may pay a little more for my computers, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to get ganked on the price of software. It's movie studio simulation game and it does what it does fairly well.My problem is with the vast difference in price between the Mac version (45) and the PC version (20). You know it by now. Why am I being asked to pay more than twice as much for the same game on a different operating system.Because of this, I don't recommend buying the Mac version. Offer it at the same price for all platforms if you want to be taken seriously.



AH- It's awesome. It's going to be great Neo renamed David for the time period has to save the world by flying. I spent around 70 hours playing this game.


Never got famous. My job, my home, my dog, my ego all have left me. In the end I never got a movie deal. You've been working on the next Matrix knock off set in the middle ages. You could watch it on "The Movies" user created content website if I weren't too much of a slacker to upload it.


Or, you haven't hired any but thats not your fault. Now I have to play WOW just to have fun wasting my time. And never met Penelope Cruise. No but really, decent game if you love Sims but it's addicting and sometimes VERY annoying especially when you can't finish you $10,000,000 blockbuster because your maintenance guys are no where to be found. Have fun playing if you do buy, but I'd highly recommend getting Screenwriter instead and putting your brainpower to actually production work that may turn into a B movie deal someday.



The best part is the sandbox mode. This game starts off great. Like most Sim-ish games, it eventually becomes tedious. If you are creative and love to micro-manage things, this game is for you.



The game was fun to play but the company the put out the game does not pay attention to it, I have a brand new 24 inch i mac loaded and the game had weird graphical issues that there seems to be no patches or updates to fix it, It got so bad that i couldn't even play the game. Oh well, for now i will stick to windows for my pc games.
