Title: Too loose with the facts for a documentary
Review: There are spoilers below. So read no further if you care about such things.On a technical note, unlikeHelvetica, which I also watched on Amazon's Video on Demand, this film sound was plenty loud enough on my laptop's built-in speakers.My main complaint is that the movie makers falsely injected drama into the story by playing loose with the facts, as a little post-movie research revealed.The film repeatedly showed a graph of the Donkey Kong scores with Billy Mitchell's 1982 score at the top. In fact, Steve Wiebe beat that score in 2003, and when his taped, million-point score was rejected, he was still the official Donkey Kong record holder. Moreover, when Mitchell submitted his own tape, beating Wiebe's new record set at the FunSpot event, it was initially accepted (as shown in the film) but ultimately rejected (omitted from the film), leaving Wiebe as champ.I like niche documentaries, but this one didn't measure up.
