09.06.13Internet Finally watched this too. I can't help but compare it to the Minecraft doc because of subject matter and timing. I feel like this might be more entertaining to non-gamers because it focuses more on interviews with the people but the Minecraft doc is a more effective movie. Here, you basically have three and a half people going through the same exact experience. I don't know if they just got really lucky with their subject selection or they chose all those guys knowing their games were pretty heavily anticipated... It would have been nice to throw in a guy that didn't become a millionaire... I guess Phil Fish was a still a question mark and it's a hard argument to say "make the movie more boring in the sake of realism" but I still got the sense that people might watch this and say "all I have to do is whine for a few years then I get a million dollars. Easy!"
