Review of Video Games: The Movie (2014) by Gavin B — 14 Jul 2014

I wanted to like this documentary more than I did. The documentary spends too much time trying to convince the viewer that geeks and nerds are the norm now, without earning that conclusion, and without exploring what that actually means.

The documentary also fails to pick out some of the more interesting stories from the history of video games. During the ending credits there are outtakes from celebrities and Kickstarter backers that turn out to be far more interesting than the movie before then.
