Atari: Game Over – Documentary Review

This movie chronicles the story of Atari and Atari’s subsequent downfall, and its aftermath. Atari is a renowned company known in the world for starting the video game industry. Without Atari the video game industry wouldn’t be where it is today.

This documentary shows us that if you rush a video game, specifically Atari’s ET, it can cause drastic repercussions. Known in the world as the worst game ever made, Atari’s ET game for the movie was the catalyst for the downfall of one of home entertainment’s most important company’s at the time.

The way the film was directed, produced, edited, etc was amazing. This movie had a great subject and superb contributors. It also had an amazing running theme that they were going to try and excavate the Atari games that had been dug into a landfill decades ago in New Mexico. Overall I would definitely give this movie a 10 out of 10.
