Review title: an entertaining motivator to read the book
Product review: Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the book I fully expected this would be a glossy overview and, for the most part, that's what it is. It's not superficial by any means but the discussions are not as deep. Given the format, there's no real way around that. The movie is fun and serves its purpose well.I think the best use of the movie is to motivate someone to read the book. In my data analysis class, the text books are more about the algorithms and short example problems. Showing and discussing clips during class time as examples of interesting, perhaps unexpected, applications might inspire a few to read the book to learn more.
