Starz Inside: Hollywood Goes Gaming (2007)

This Starz documentary is a solid, fast-paced, incisive exploration of how and why Hollywood has pioneered a pivotal path between movies and video games, increasingly intertwining the two forms of media and entertainment. A vast slate of dozens of movie directors, video game producers, and actors are quoted and seen in action. I have professionally followed computer and video game developments for 35 years and this is a very good introduction to the major challenges and achievements of the video game industry, from Atari's Pong to the latest slate of photorealistic first-person action games from EA and others. 3.5 stars.
