Video Games: The Movie (2014)
A wikipedia article to screen.
17 February 2024
It feels like the writers literally copy and pasted wiki articles to make a script for this. Nothing interesting or compelling. Enormous parts of gaming are intentionally skipped. As one other reviewer wrote: "Once they skipped over Dreamcast I was tempted to turn it off but i trudged through it".
In addition to just skipping over eras of gaming, many consoles are completely omitted (PC Engine, Jaguar, Neo Geo, Sega CD, etc).
It is a disheartening watch when we know how passionate gamers are about the industry and are given such a forgery of a documentary.
The only positive I have is we get a snapshot in time of the industry engineers. It's interesting to see how they had changed over time.
