I said this is a must watch movie just for one reason and that was the concepts that were covered, its like a visionary and a source for CS guys to get inspired. To be very frank, there are many programmers on this forum, some active whereas others are not, AI takes Theoretical Computer Science to an utmost level where several other things arise.
Programming is a part of CS and not CS itself, yeah I think programming is not enough to call yourself a CS guy, there are many guys who can learn PHP, HTML, CSS etc. etc. it not that big deal or even languages like python or ruby or Java etc., I don't think thats enough to call someone a CS guy. Many of my friends are from commerce, but they are good web designers and they can code in php too. I included PHP but it should be considered upto a level only because after that one needs good concepts of data structures and intuitive programming aptitude knowledge. Another fact is that nowadays programming is not an especiality for computer science but everyone can learn programming, I recommend you'll to watch the promo video of code.org
Theoretical Computer Science can be considered the true core of CS, a concept from where many important things evolve. Programming Languages were developed based on that concept (Not the most historical languages but all languages from B, BCPL or FORTRAN or later). So, when I said must watch for CS guys it was focused more to those who are well experienced with the subject and can understand the depth of the topic. Making even a simple Chatbot isn't a child's play, a lot of great concepts must be learned before working on something like that. The PINN which was shown in the movie actually is a great inspiration to those who understand the complexity of the subject very well. I never watched this movie from the view of a Sci-fy point but as a source to get a concept, get inspired.
