- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars"Yo, THE CURRENT WAR: DIRECTOR'S CUT is a dope movie! It's about the battle between Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla to bring electricity to the masses. It's got some sick performances from Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon, and Nicholas Hoult. If you're into history and technology and stuff, then this is the one for you, bro."

- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsThis movie subverted my thinking, not only writing the story of his invention, but also revealing his commercial methods for fame and fortune; even revealing his private personality and habits.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsThis movie is very historical movie
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsOne of my friends actually told me about this movie and got me interested enough to try and track it down... but it took quite a while to find it to watch. Ultimately, I'm glad I did, as there was a very interesting historical story about the Current War between AC and DC power - I really think the world be a totally different place if we'd taken to more of Nikola Tesla's inventions earlier, as even in modern day times today, we're still re-discovering some of his inventions and utilizing them for newer technology. But both Edison and Tesla are talented inventors in their own rights. I did feel that the storytelling here could have been better, but I usually lower my expectations for scientific/medical subjects that make their way onto the big screen.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsA breathtakingly gorgeous film that illuminates the creative inventing process, showing how it is both helped and hindered by competition. The acting is superb; there are no heroes or villains; and there is no predictable, formulaic structure. What there is, is a compelling story tinged with triumph and sadness, perfectly summing up what it means to live in our world that ever changes and evolves for both better and worse simultaneously.
