I'll be honest, I went into this thinking that it was going to be a boring documentary about arcade games. The film starts out like a guiness world record episode about topping the world record for the Donkey Kong video game, but it shifts away from the geekiness of the game culture and focuses on a remarkable story of a man fighting an empire. It's a feel good movie, meant to shed some light on the bland culture of competitive gaming, but it offers much more with a very human story that anyone can relate to. This is a boring movie. If you have no interest in any gaming, this probably isn't your cup tea. But if you are willing to look past the pasty gaming culture, you're in for a story that is entertaining and satisfying.
Score:
(4/5): A surprising good experience despite its uninteresting premise
