Remix the audio and I'll try watching again.

Seriously, who signed off on the audio mix for this? I couldn't watch for more than 10 minutes due to the obnoxiously loud music. Half of the time I could not understand what was being said. Even when I could understand, the loud music was just too much to take and made me want to turn it off. I can only guess that something went wrong when this was handed off for broadcast, because I find it hard to believe it went out the door like this.

Great Documentary

I really enjoyed learning about General Magic. I wasn't aware of the vision this company had, it's seems like they were right about so many things. Very interesting and I would very much recommend this film.

Horrible sound mixing.

Was interested in subject matter, but background music was almost always playing over the voices.

A very interesting story, once you hear the correct sound mix.

Showtime screwed up the audio when they first broadcast this, which led to dozens of permanent bad reviews here, because the music was louder than the dialog. The problem has been fixed, I have watched the stream in the Showtime app and it now sounds fine.

It's a fascinating tale for people interested in technology and even though I was working in the business at the time and know some of the people in the movie, I had never heard the whole story before.

Silicon Valley history; sound issues fixed

First off, I watched this on Showtime and the sound was perfect.

If you care about Silicon Valley history or are just an Apple fan, this is a must see.

An excellent film that tells the rare story of the most consequential company to fail... but which was not really a failure, because the people and ideas, fueled technologies and devices that changed the world.

Marc Porat: No questioning of "Could I be wrong ?". None. Because that's what you need to break out of Earth's gravity. You need and enormous amount of momentum. And that momentum comes from suppressing introspection about the possibility of failure.
