Leave your thoughts about Video Games: The Movie.
| Movie MezzanineDaniel CarlsonIt takes a certain mix of hubris and willful ignorance to begin a documentary about video games with a quote from Gandhi. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerVideo Games: The Movie talks a lot about storytelling, but practices very little of it. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfUnwilling to jeopardize his access, Snead turns into a salesman. I'd rather hear more about the creation of Pitfall. |
| IGN MoviesBrian AlbertDespite some organizational issues, Video Games: The Movie is an informative and entertaining look at the birth of the medium we know and love. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanVideo Games: The Movie is breezy and entertaining, but it's also obvious and simplistic. This is Video Games 101, when the people most likely to be interested in seeing it will want to learn something much more. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThe modern stuff is undeniably fawning. But given the eye-popping visuals, you understand the enthusiasm. Especially if you left your heart, and thousands of dollars in quarters, in an arcade. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottAmid it all, Snead does a nice job of laying out the history of video games. If nothing else, there's a lot of information here. But there's also a lot of information on the Wikipedia entry for "video games." All in all, I'd rather be playing "Madden 15." |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisUnfocused and repetitive, this feature-length commercial by Jeremy Snead uses a muddled timeline and bargain basement graphics to produce a horn-tooting, “Aren’t games awesome?” tone. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyVideo Games: The Movie is content to celebrate without much insight. |
| Slant MagazineJustin ClarkJeremy Snead's doc comes off more as a commercial for a grand, overarching product that isn't finished being developed. |
