LOS ANGELES, Jan 25, 2013 - Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak questioned the accuracy of a long-awaited film about Steve Jobs as the movie opened with a red carpet premiere Friday, while its makers stressed it was not a documentary.

Wozniak said the movie “jOBS” - which opened at the Sundance Film Festival - erred in its depiction of the characters as well as the relationships between them - especially the one between him and computer icon Jobs.

“We never had such interaction and roles,” Wozniak, who quit Apple in 1987 after 12 years, told the tech blog Gizmodo, after a clip from the movie was posted online ahead of the evening premier at the Sundance Film Festival.

“I'm not even sure what it's getting at,” he said, adding that the “personalities are very wrong - although mine is closer.”

“The ideas of computers affecting society did not come from Jobs. They inspired me and were widely spoken at the Homebrew Computer Club,” he said, referring to a hobby group to which they belonged.

The film, one of two about the Apple founder who died in 2011, opens in the United States in April. The second, which has no release date yet, is based on the biography published by Walter Isaacson shortly after his death.

Directed by Joshua Michael Stern and with “Two and a Half Men” star Ashton Kutcher in the title role, “jOBS” tells the story of his ascension from college dropout to one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century.

“Steve came back from Oregon and came to a club meeting and didn't start talking about this great social impact,” said Wozniak, referring to the period in the 1970s before Silicon Valley took off.

“His idea was to make a $20 PC board and sell it for $40 to help people at the club build the computer I'd given away. Steve came from selling surplus parts at HalTed - he always saw a way to make a quick buck off my designs,”said the famously geek-casual-looking Wozniak.

“The lofty talk came much further down the line... I never looked like a professional. We were both kids,” he said.
