AlphaGo

What an amazing day well done film! I recently watched another file, The Surrounding Game about the game of Go and was not sure if I wanted watch another film base on the game. This film was much more than just about a man playing a machine in a board game. What happened was history-making and to have witnessed it unfold in the way that the film presented it was remarkable. At one point in the film, I was even holding back a few years. Very well done!

The movie was brilliant. I was surprised that it gripped me as much as it did because I didn't know too much about artificial intelligence before this, but there was a real momentum throughout which left me on the edge of my seat. I was struck by the humanity of the AlphaGo team and their compassion for Lee Sedol, but also their pursuit of a technology that could have really beneficial impacts on the world. If you want to get beyond the headlines of terminators taking over the world to find out the real potential of AI, then watch this movie right away! 10/10

A classic case of man versus machine, without the science fiction. Awesome viewing experience that has you rooting for both sides at various points. Never heard of the game Go before viewing and still have yet to play it, that should be testament to how well the human side of the story is conveyed.

I followed the AlphaGo story back in 2016 and I remember thinking it was pretty cool, but I didn't really see the bigger picture at the time. This movie grips you from the very start and takes you behind the scenes of the tournament with Lee Sedol. But it also explains why AlphaGo is such a huge breakthrough, and why AI could one day help us solve some of the biggest problems in the world. I think a lot of people could see this as another man vs. machine story but I don't agree. What stood out for me was the beauty of man with machine and what we can achieve together.

This movie is about a board game called "Go", and FYI it's the oldest board game which was invented in China and it's considered more complex than "Chess" although its simple rules and pieces.

However, the movie will not tell you the story behind "Go", but it's about the new forever going conflict between man and machine. And it tried to answer a question of What will happen if AI Go player was an opponent to a human Go player ?

The rhythm of the movie is really good with nice sound effects matching the condition of the scenes, you may feel bored at some points but that will happen very few. You will absolutely download any Go App after watching this movie and you may even love the game of Go.

Finally,it's a good light documentary movie, not too informative that you get bored of and not too cinematic that would get you out of the mood of documentaries.
