Not a Game

Confused documentary gets boring pretty fast. Trying to maneuver between the pros and cons of gaming.

Unfortunately what is clearly obvious once again is it's mostly the old and the do-gooders who are con and the young and the business sector are pro.

It's a little like watching a political debate. It's not about facts but mostly about beliefs.

I believe gaming is the future. It's here for now and may or may not last but being against it is simply being a luddite.

We deserve better documentaries. If possible use facts and not beliefs. After all it's supposed to be documentary. Not drama and not a morality play...

A universal phenomenon that everybody does... just not me... but my 3 sons do the tricks, and ive had my time of ignorant opposition towards their all time consuming activities in the dark stinky bear hives, drinkink cola and doing the peepee in the empty one because theyre too busy doing game , forgetting the toilette duties, when i mentioned pampers up and go once for my youngest (18) the game controller came flying and i had to flee the scene of outragous anger...

but this is a managabel documentary with a good pr for the gaming communities and soforth, even convincing me the grumpy old man that gaming aint as bad as i thought. Im just convinced that physical excersise and real sport on an amateur level aint as bad as the young ones of today thinks...but i will absolutely recommend this one, could be a holy grail to emphasize their hobby and activities, i guess its a better moral builder than watching e-porn 24/7...

A video game documentary that spelled it "Mortal Combat", for shame.

Some of the bad reviews put me off initially. But I'm glad I did watch and I felt I should write something here.

This is a very good documentary, with some interesting stories that show the impact video games have in people's lives.

I feel it should have been a series, maybe 4 episodes as it packs a lot in 90 minutes. But that is a minor issue compared to the insights.

Some of the reviews on here are completely miss-leading, complaining about subtitles is a poor approach when reviewing a documentary and it is obvious to me that some people just haven't watched it.

If you have children who play games or you are a gamer yourself, this is a must watch.

If you don't care about games, this is also must watch.

I am into video games and I've seen most of the gaming/esports documentaries out there and this one has a complete different approach. It is a gaming documentary for the ones who love gaming and specially the ones who don't.

It is a balanced movie supported by experts, pro gamers, gamers and families.

The stories let the viewer make their own judgement, educate and give the audience the opportunity to empathise with the experiences of real people, some of them very tough.

Gaming and Pro gaming are here to stay, have revolutionised entertainment like never before and the good surpass by far the bad.

If you are a gamer, a pro gamer, but specially a parent or someone that has no interest at all in games, this is for you. Human and different... A must watch.
