I watched it for the first time a few months ago and it totally holds up. Very enjoyable film and more relevant now than ever. It is probably considered a little slow for modern low-attention-span audiences.

Indeed. There is nothing in the film that contradicts the notion of Colossus being a very, very large LLM.

Although I think the film is even better than the book by D. F. Jones, only the latter mentions how, despite being created specifically for US national defense, Colossus is also fed unrelated data including Shakespeare's sonnets, because its creators do not know if it could be important.

The film is very much better than the book. The sequel books, however, are not good. At all.

Yes. Spoiler: Mars attacks. Really.

I could live with Mars attacks. The portrayal of Colossus' inhumanity was unbearably sadistic. I can understand why it was never made into a movie.
