It's an okay movie. But when I know that it's crowdfunded, what a jerk who made this is. What a waste of people's money…

This wasn't really needed…

Video Games: The Movie is an informative but equally entertaining journey through the evolution of gaming, from Pong to Donkey Kong to Super…

An interesting perspective on video game history and the impact it made in society…

Pretty nice movie/documentary. Would recommend this to anyone who is passionate about games…

Absolutely schlock with no heart, or personality…

A great love letter to the gaming culture…

A great documentary with a huge dose of nostalgia…
