Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 10/26/2017
On paper, a 90-minute documentary involving the playing of a 3,000-year-old Chinese board game wouldn't seem to lend itself to adjectives like "lively" and "compelling," but darned if Greg Kohs' "AlphaGo" isn't those things and more. Go to Full Review

What are neural networks? I have no idea. But the team's delight in their creation is something any idiot can understand. Go to Full Review

Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia 11/03/2018
A thrilling documentary which pits man versus machine in a battle for superiority over an ancient Chinese game. Go to Full Review
Joshua Speiser Film Threat 03/05/2018
Rather than playing up the fears of man's imminent obsolescence in the face of artificial intelligence, the filmmakers instead elevate this doc to one that uses Go as a platform to explore and comment on the human condition. Go to Full Review

Koi P @hopep Sep 1 Interesting. How have I not heard of this? It's free on YouTube. See more AJ C @courtmaster Apr 15 There was something pure about this film. Maybe it’s because we’re all in the front row seat of this new AI roller coaster and we’re still not off the ride. It’s also compelling to watch a human wrestle with it. And it’s incredible we can benefit from that. See more Leaburn 02/05/2023 This film was good 👍🏼 See more Nate M 01/27/2023 Wow! Just wow A riveting documentary about the first time an Artificial Intelligence computer defeated a human opponent in the asian game of Go. I wanted the computer to win. And it did win the first 3 out of 5 games. But then, I wanted the human to win! And he did win the 4th game. But then the computer won the 5th game. The computer won 4 to 1. Sooo exciting! i felt like I do when watching a great football game or boxing match. But this was not a 'game'. It was the beginning of AI computers taking over from people. First, a computer beat a chess master. Then, a computer won on Jeopardy. We're entering a new world, baby. And I don't think we'll be in Kansas much longer, Toto. See more Smriti M 01/25/2023 Can I give it more than 5 stars because this was so good!!! See more renaldo d 12/21/2021 One of the best sports documentaries ever made, the edition manages to bring us frustration and triumph in impeccable ways. See more Read all reviews
