But here's the real deal, she saw and felt nothing but dollar signs and the cool liquid coinage of Scrooge McDuck - come now, as if your whole life wasn't adding up to this moment - at least YOU believed - one doesn't consider selling thier house to bankroll some stoner dreamscape, when they don't see a massive back end - ok ok ok, objectively re this documentary : didn't need to be told and not really a trainwreck, more like a failed happenstance and symptom of perils of social media - whatever.
I was excited for this. I remember following it from the U. K. how ever this is so badly put together and all over the place.
Rarely do I need to switch off a series I've been excited to watch. I'm sure the makers at Netflix took something when putting this together. Jumps to pointless stuff and it's dire. Worth cancelling Netflix over. Looks like a student made it but tried to use an editing app and they had ADHD. The storyline was here but instead of following what happens it constantly edited in ridiculous and pointless scenes.

I loved the story telling of this documentary. The comic book art in between takes, super cool. Loved all the perspectives of those interviewed, from people social media, ex US military and government who were involved.
Thank goodness two episodes were made, so it didn't feel rushed. I felt like they did a similar job to WoodStock 99'.
Although, it did take a whilllleee to get to the actual event and festival. Lots of interviews and people. But you know, fantastic story telling. Battles between those who wanted for festival to happen and those who didn't.
A short review, but as way more captivating than the recent Train wreck documentaries. Great and exciting story telling.

Far more interesting than recent Trainwreck episode "Real Project X" (in which many kids showed up to a birthday party and, for some reason, we know about it), this story involves a better variety of testimonies, with higher stakes considering the location, and a fairly intricate backstory where half-baked internet ideas go head-to-head with reality.
Social media dwellers are a parody of themselves at this point, and anyone with a couple decades will immediately roll their eyes at the immature elements of this doc, but it's still a fun study of people with lives that permit ideas like "let's storm a government base because aliens and party" before facing humility.
Not exactly something you do if you have priorities, but still hilarious to watch, like seeing Johnny Knoxville and pals invent idiotic stunts for your amusement. The silliness is balanced out by interviews with town locals, military, and other grown-ups who live in reality. When all the parts mix in the end, not much happens besides some partying, but thankfully it didn't go the other way resulting in tragedy.
I'm not sure it had to be split into 2 episodes. Yet I didn't feel like much time was wasted if viewed as a single film. It's ultimately a familiar lesson: reality wins against absurdist notions from the internet. But rarely do we see it done so uniquely, and at least a few people got a dance party out of it.

If you've pondered the age old question are Aliens more intelligent than earthlings, this film is for you.
Wasting a couple of hours watching nerdy fame seekers coalescing around government conspiracy theories, exemplify fake courage, and show why working at a vape kiosk is your only skillset, while a local business owner chooses profit over ppl of her town of 50, ponder no more.
So the next question in life- what's worse, these social media idiots or the mainstream media who gives them attention?
