Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Video Games: The Movie, a feature length documentary, aims to educate & entertain audiences about how video games are made, marketed, and consumed by looking back at gaming history and culture through the eyes of game developers, publishers, and consumers. The film is not just another film about the games industry, but attempts something much more ambitious; the question of what it means to be a ‘gamer’, a game maker, and where games are headed. Storytelling and the art of the video game medium are also explored in this first of it’s kind film about the video game industry & the global culture it has created.”

Review: Like Fanboys and Trekkies, this documentary of the video game industry from the past to the present looks like a brilliant combination of an attempt to separate geeks from their money while simultaneously celebrating one of the most significant entertainment art forms of the modern era.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
