Who designs tech in movies?

Are there any movies/shows that got it right?

I wonder if there's more websites dedicated to debunking tech-related stuff in films, movies, games, etc.

Production designers. That's their title, but they're often just anyone. Sometimes they're just veteran hollywood designers who research what they have to build, and design it to look snazzy, and sometimes the studio / producer / director hires someone who knows what they're doing. Not often though.

Sam Esmail, however, insisted Mr Robot got it right, and famously employed Kor Adana who, in turn, hired a bunch of other hackers and tech experts with a brief from Esmail to make all the hacking realistic. The screens you see are animations, of course, but they're animations of the real thing.

Frankly I can't think of too many films that actually got it right. I've seen plenty that looked cool, but most are an embarrassment if you look too close. That said, apparently Nmap is used a shittonne of films for teh realizms: https://nmap.org/movies/

This https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=vYNnPx8fZBs would have to be the single highest-ranked worst depiction, though

I don't personally like realistic hacking in movies. It's going to be cringey no matter what. I'd rather they just do something cool. I do think you can have realistic hacking in writing based format.

The Social Network did a fair job with its "hacking" scenes.

Strangely enough, NCIS:LA actually made use of some real tech, although the show has lots of nonsense and techno-babble in script.

Tron Legacy has emacs (whoo!) and there's a fairly detailed blog write-up about the effects used here:

The matrix, when they're in "the matrix" uses real Unix commands. I think everything except for the famous falling code is real Unix commands.

And in whoami the protagonist types whoami which is a real wangblows command.

t. Wangblows user

If the main content of a movie is computers or television. It's just a sign of the movie being garbage.

Yes, whoami and Matrix where both garbage.

Eat shit faggots!
