Really good, but not quite what I wanted or expected.
So, finally, after looking forward to this for at leat 2 years and a constantly pushed back released date, I got to watch FBTB: The PlayStation Revolution! I loved the first 2. Very insightful and full of great characters that the 80s seemed to have in droves.
When I seen the runtime at just over 2hrs 40mins I was extremely happy. I'm a PlayStation generation guy and was looking forward to some nostalgia. It was there, but even by the end I wasn't as satisfied as I was with the 2 FBTB's before.
I expected much more in depth looks at the amazing range of games like "Resident Evil", "Metal Gear Solid" and "Gran Turismo". There were small segments maybe ranging from 3/7minutes but I wanted more.
I enjoy most of the tech stuff but felt there was far too much emphasis on this. Kinda like when a movie spends too much time character building and before you know it, the movies nearly done.
The Caulfield's no doubt know how to make brilliant documentaries but this didn't hit the limit their previous work done and that's a shame. Don't get me wrong, I'd still highly recommend it and look forward to watching it again with my 12 year old son who is PlayStation mad and will love it.
I suppose I'm maybe being a bit harsh due to my own thoughts on what I wanted to see but all I can do is give an honest opinion.
Keep up the work though, guys. I look forward to seeing more documentaries in the future.
