A nice documentary to show the real failure of parents and parenthood in modern society

This is a nice documentary for gamers and non alike. If you have any problems with your kids you have to remember they're kids and it's you as a parent who needs to discipline them..not the other way around..because a kid will always be a kid..it's the adults responsibility.

Is this just fantasy?

Well it can become real life for some ... it starts off quite good to be honest. Showing off the rage games can actually conjure ... but trying to show many different aspects of gaming too. In many different countries too ... which I mean there is so much spanish in this, I was a bit put back by that ... but that is me.

On the other hand this shows that it cares about gaming all around the world. Still this can't actually paint the broad picture it sets out to do ... it was never going to achieve that. Cliches and all that will creep up on us and the documentary ... still there are some nice little nuggets and some interesting little stories we get to see. So I've seen way better documentaries, but also far worse.

Unfortunately, this is quite bad

I feel like if you're into gaming this isn't going to tell you much you don't already know, and if you're not into gaming, you're probably going to find it boring and too scattershot to really get much information out of.

It jumps around so much- that's my main criticism. It bounces from one topic to the next with very little by way of segues or any sense of flow, and it's remarkably frustrating. It might be forgivable if more of the individual stories were interesting, because while some are decent, other segments are really boring.

While I appreciate the effort at presenting a somewhat global look at gaming throughout the world, maybe the broad focus was what led to it being so all over the place, unfocused, and ultimately unsatisfying. It could have just been too ambitious, and I think this particular type of documentary approach is far more suited to a miniseries, rather than a 90-something minute long documentary.
