AlphaGo

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.

I knew about Go but not the complexities of the game.

This is more about AI but what it means to be human.

The European champion won my heart

Just thrilling amazing production.

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.

This is an awesome movie about the creation of AlphaGo, the first program that managed to stand up to the best human players of the ancient game of Go. This came out of nowhere, a decade or two before it was expected, and took everyone with surprise. Watch how the players struggle with meeting opposition of a level they had never thought to meet, and the questions it gives rise to. The movie centers around matches that were widely reported in media the world over, so the outlines of the story may be known, but this is nevertheless a very exciting and gripping movie as we watch the story unfold from behind the scenes.
