Critic Reviews of "Video Games: The Movie"
RogerEbert.comJuly 18, 2014"Video Games: The Movie" doesn't just preach to the choir, it puts that choir on a pedestal and costumes it in golden robes.
New York TimesJuly 17, 2014Unfocused 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.
Los Angeles TimesJuly 17, 2014It's a lovefest in which critics' voices and debate are simply absent, and the only talking space is wonder, nostalgia and excitement for the future.
Toronto StarJuly 17, 2014A by-the-books documentary that gives the history of video games bracketed with the voices of spirited members of the vast community of gamers, Video Games: The Movie is aimed squarely at its target audience.
New York Daily NewsJuly 17, 2014The 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.
AV ClubJuly 17, 2014Beyond associating breakthroughs with particular years and companies, Video Games: The Movie has trouble moving beyond generalities.
Movie MezzanineJuly 18, 2014It takes a certain mix of hubris and willful ignorance to begin a documentary about video games with a quote from Gandhi.
IGN MoviesJuly 17, 2014Despite some organizational issues, Video Games: The Movie is an informative and entertaining look at the birth of the medium we know and love.
Blu-ray.comJuly 17, 2014Unwilling to jeopardize his access, Snead turns into a salesman. I'd rather hear more about the creation of Pitfall.
Aisle SeatJuly 16, 2014Video 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.
Film Journal InternationalJuly 15, 2014You'd have to be a real nob to glean anything substantial from this superficial, haphazardly structured primer on videogame history.
