A lot of people say that this documentary covers the story of SEGA, and while that's mostly true, it doesn't do a good job at it either.
Documentaries don't usually require linearity, but for something regarding the advancement a whole industry, they really missed out on it. Failing to cover the more important aspects from the Japanese perspective, and rather just villainizing them, and not to mention completely avoiding talk about the deal between Nintendo & Sony for the Nintendo PlayStation, and how they shot themselves in the foot.
The documentary also does not, even for once, acknowledge the contributions of Yu Suzuki of Sega into helping make leap into 3D gaming consoles, but has the audacity to showcase his creations such as Outrun and other scaler-sprite based games.
This documentary does not do the homework for you, YouTube videos does it better.

This is an amazing and well-done movie, just not a really positive one. So if you're looking for a movie to unwind and relax to, then this is not it. But if you're looking for something more sophisticated and explores the dark-side of things, you'll probably love it.
