Having worked in a Video Ezy store as a teenager, I felt I had a special connection with this feature. It is quite insightful as we discover how video stores came to be and the journey of the major retailer who once had over 9,000 stores, eventually reducing to only one store in the world. Once there was a time when people used to select a film and at the same time have a human connection or even a deep discussion with others. It is certainly a different kind of history lesson and one that all movie lovers should witness.

I felt like it deviated from being about the story of Blockbuster and instead followed customers around the last remaining Blockbuster. It just felt to me that it was unecessary. See more stephen b @RT02381805 03/12/2023 Touches on an interesting tale, but fills the time with random B-List scenarios with little connection to the actual story. See more corkball @RT87142816 07/25/2022 Cute and nostalgic for sure, and you feel for the manager, but there are too many problems here, mainly: 1) the movie is far too padded. This could have been a 20 minute youtube video. I REALLY liked the details around the last store, but even the rise and fall of Blockbuster wasn't that interesting. 2) They even allude to this in the film - Blockbuster was a bunch of opportunistic corporate parasites that destroyed ('innovated') everything in their path and they most likely deserved what they got (mom and pop shop excepted). 3) The whole documentary style is becoming a bit passe. The could have spiced it up a tad (think something like 'Oversimplified') See more Read all reviews
