It shouldn't be all that surprising that third part of the movie is the best, from an image standpoint. The black levels are really the most noteworthy portion of this section, especially during the scene where Jobs is fighting with John Sculley. Some of the grain is still there in 35mm, but you can see that the movie is slightly sharper, with better details and more realistic colors.

There are pores, facial lines, and strands of hair to see, as well as texture on Jobs' shirt collar. It's a little soft, but the colors perfectly depict the time period and there is a decent amount of detail there, mainly in the close-ups.

The opening 16mm portion of the movie has a dated, grainy look to it. To help convey three different time periods, we are treated to three distinctive images in this film. Looking for a lengthier peek at this movie? Check out Joe Lozito's theatrical review of Steve Jobs. That said, interesting dialogue and great performances make Steve Jobs worth checking out. (Apparently, Wozniak liked it.) There's definitely a lot of chapters missing here. It's hard to say how much of Steve Jobs is factual.

Instead, we get a hearty glimpse at Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet), Jobs' right-hand woman, confident, and apparently the only one who knew how to properly communicate with this guy. It would have been nice to have a little more Wozniak. It helps that Fassbender is riveting, as he delivers that rapid-fire dialogue. While it may be disappointing to some that the film doesn't talk about the iPod, iPhone, or even Jobs' death, Sorkin managed to squeezed a lot into this film and make it flow with ease. There's so much to Steve Jobs, both the man and the movie. In the third act, the movie jumps into the digital format, as Jobs debuts the iMac G3, freaks out about Andy Hertzfeld's role in Lisa's life, and gets chewed out by Wozniak (again). From there, the movie jumps to 35mm and 1988, with Jobs ousted from Apple, introducing NeXT, getting chewed out by Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), and fighting with Apple CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels). This is where we're introduced to Jobs' less-than-sparkling personality, which is reinforced by his denial of the court-approved paternity of his daughter, Lisa. The film kicks off in 1984, in 16mm, with Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender) ready to debut the Macintosh 128K.
