Yes, this is pretty great. The live stream at my theatre kind of messed up when J Blow was speaking during one scene so I've been itching to see it again.
Question - What is all the hype, and admiration for this "movie" about? Honestly I just am not interested in it, but certainly I would not mind if someone could at the very least sell me on "why" I should. This just feels a lot like the whole "Journey" (not the band) phenomenon that swept through like a bad case of, Justin Beiber bs. I mean is just hype (like Journey), or is there an actual good enough reason to bother with this?
I'll be here... Maybe.

@ Rorek- It is a good movie about interesting people doing interesting things. Some parts are funny. Some parts are sad.
It is better than the Avengers.

Bad comparison, nothing to do with Avengers.
Loved the Super Meat Boy Guys part, the Fez guy seemed artificial? or simply likes to exaggerate in RL, I doubt i will ever find out.

Watching it now. So good.
I love that you don't need to enjoy indie games or even games more generally to appreciate it. Much more personal and emotional than I was expecting.

Totally good movie. Not saying that just because I know some of the peeps in it either, it was legitimately a good film and one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, regardless of what it's about. They managed to convey emotion very well and did a great job keeping people interested through the whole film, the editing was amazing. I honestly never thought that the events behind making a game could be captured AND made entertaining.
This was nothing short of fantastic. I just finished watching it and its got me nothing but motivated.
The trailer was kinda like "meh"
I like the idea, but most of the people in the trailer came off as to hipster for my liking, and the new age of gaming is kinda in a horrible state as is. I know its not true, but it seems like "everyone" is making indie games now. Its the cool thing to do I guess.
One thing that really turned me off was the one guy who brought up the holocaust. I'm not here to judge if he was joking or not, just kinda shows just because you know how to write code, doesn't make you a smart person.

Just wanted to add too, doesn't mean I wont see it, or you shouldn't either. I need to watch it, maybe the full movie will change my opinion
Loved the movie.
Also loved that Team Meat described Holmes as 'the best games journalist ever' in their commentary track. Made of winrar.

I have an idea. Instead of calling people that chose to make a game with a very small/one man team for profit indie developers, lets call them micro developers or something else. The closest thing to indie in my mind is flash games before they started going pay to win and locking away content.
Just got this film, and hope that Phil Fish releases 'Fez' on PC or PS3, just so that I can give him money. I'm also glad now that I got Super Meat Boy on launch, seeing what it meant for Tommy and Ed. I've also got a MUCH better opinion of Jon Blow now (Although I reckon he'd hate me for liking Braid the wrong way).
I brilliant film.
