Jeremy Snead's doc comes off more as a commercial for a grand, overarching product that isn't finished being developed.

Regal The modern stuff is undeniably fawning. |, August 1, 2014 So when something simply called "Video Game: The Movie" is direct to the point of course I would see it since it's history is one aspect I've held an interest towards. However, that segment isn't enough to make up for the rest of documentary that says "All area of gaming is great" in a propaganda manner. Unwilling to jeopardize his access, Snead turns into a salesman. If a non fully committed gamer like myself knows that fact without ever touching a Dreamcast console what makes you think this documentary will do a proper job of providing insight on videogames history. The insights provided can be sometime insightful, but are too often glib and come at the expense of the film relaying the events at hand to the viewer.
"Video Games: The Movie" doesn't just preach to the choir, it puts that choir on a pedestal and costumes it in golden robes.
Cinemark It takes a certain mix of hubris and willful ignorance to begin a documentary about video games with a quote from Gandhi.
Homage to gaming pioneers is tween friendly but overlong. Once again the usage of it timeline does a disservice to the structure and the viewers.

Someone important as Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell whose contribution to videogames is very significant receives less screen time than actor Donald Faison who hasn't contribute to videogames in any shape.
|, July 17, 2014 There's certainly a lot of information there, but it lacks a sense of fun, coming off instead as a staid and often padded affair. Don’t worry, it won’t take long. For many games are much more than just a hobby, and that love and enthusiasm shows through. | Fresh (3) By opting to have your ticket verified for this movie, you are allowing us to check the email address associated with your Rotten Tomatoes account against an email address associated with a Fandango ticket purchase for the same movie.

Simply a great documentary telling the development of console games from then to now - this is not a film just for geeks and gamers - it really is a great watch in itself.
Sean Astin narrates and there are a few celebrity cameos giving their insight on the industry and those elements were effective. It can bog itself down with information, but the interviews, classic footage, and smart coverage of relevant topics can appeal to any gamer, young or old.

You really do get invested in most of this picture as it progresses, but it's very formulaic (year, explanation of consoles, the future, year, explanation of consoles, the future, and so on). We won’t be able to verify your ticket today, but it’s great to know for the future. There is also many things I absolutely loathe in the certain direction it's taking from EA, Ubisoft, always online drm, and the pay to play model.
But given the eye-popping visuals, you understand the enthusiasm. Preachy and repetitive, "Video Games: The Movie" may have some interesting elements to go along with it, but in retrospect, a group of guys sat down and researched the history of Video Games and made a documentary about it before anyone else had the chance.

Despite some organizational issues, Video Games: The Movie is an informative and entertaining look at the birth of the medium we know and love. You'd have to be a real nob to glean anything substantial from this superficial, haphazardly structured primer on videogame history.
In the beginning the documentary looks at the history of videogames and makes it first fatal mistake of giving rushed summarization of significant contributions.
Over sighting important information causally in order to use to lesser effect later on.
Above all, it conveys some of the fun and wonder that gaming produces going from Pong to Ryse and beyond it is filled with gaming clips, music, and a strong streak of both nostalgia and insight and anyone, gamer or not, should enjoy it, it is simply an excellent documentary well made and a very good watch.

Video Games: The Movie opens with a barrage of statistics before segueing into a sketchy history lesson-cum-industry promotion.
Every area it wants to discuss on the subject either misses relaying information to the viewer or is sloppily delivered because of it poor choice of its own structure.

Unfortunately since it attempts to highlight certain aspects of videogame culture its aimed is bigger than what it grasped. Beyond associating breakthroughs with particular years and companies, Video Games: The Movie has trouble moving beyond generalities.
All the interviews sadly focus more on big stars than actual known videgame developers. The film follows the dramatic journeys of indie game developers as they create their games, and as they release those works, and themselves, to the world. Video Games: The Movie is too glamorize in its poor representation of gaming culture that it's slick production values make it come across as one giant commercial.

“Video Games: The Movie” actually turns it around in the final third as Snead finally allows for some serious discussion of the current state of the industry.
It's emotion is all over the place without feeling connected to each other.
In the early goings of the documentary the slick plethora of animated infographics and an effective opening-credits sequence that details the evolution of games over time shows promise.

I think the history of video games were too much of a nostalgic treat for him to avoid but his film finally loses the sugar rush when it comes to the present and future.
I'd rather hear more about the creation of Pitfall.
