Indie Game: The Movie
Very good documentary actually, and the fact it is about my favorite past time really makes it incredibly interesting.
The filmmakers really picked the game creators that they focused on brilliantly as well, all very much "characters," and the viewer winds up developing pretty strong feelings about their characteristics really early on, so you are then invested in seeing their progress, both positive and negative, throughout the movie. Just really well done actually. Typing it out, it is exactly all of the elements that make a documentary following the making of something successful.
Highly recommended to anyone who has an interest in video games.
Strongly recommended to anyone who has played either Braid, Super Meat Boy, or Fez, as it is the 3 games they follow.
Funny enough, I truly was into Super Meat Boy when it was released. I was one of the people the film actually touches upon who purchased it Day 1.
After seeing the film, I now love Super Meat Boy. Just such an interesting team behind making it, and easily the most likeable developers of the movie.
8.5/10
