The visuals were great, but the editing was chaotic, and overall, just felt like a very topical and dated documentary made for a very niche audience.

Never did I think I'd re-watch this documentary.

I understand why they did it but the gamer/memes aesthetic in the whole movie gets old fast. Hope dumb money is better.

Meh. Some interesting parts but a lot I didn’t understand.
