Audience Member "The industry is dead" Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know if this documentary is supposed to be depressing, but it is. Of course there are both positives and negatives to the advancement of technology in the music and film industries, but this film focuses on why the mediums have changed and how they'll never be the same. "The craft is gone" is how one segment puts it. And it sure seems like it. There's no soul anymore; no humanity, at least not in computers. Some advances are truly amazing, but much is lost along the way. C'est la vie, I suppose. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Conceptually and in terms of slickness of execution - This is a decent movie. Where is fails is in its attempt to string together a cohesive theme or story line. In the end, this is a montage trying to be a collage of ideas and opinions about digital media. There are some valid assertions made about democratization of content creation and distribution but you'd have heard those elsewhere too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Cool documentary on past, present and future of creativity. Plus some really smart bald guys are in it like Seth Godin and Moby which is good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I found it haunting and affective, though slightly depressing. I watched it while catching up on my correspondence (which will seem ironic once you've watched the film). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A great doc about the demise of "the craft" in film, music and all things media. All thanks to the digital revolution. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
