Peter W Overall, I found this documentary to be rather fun and pleasing as it takes its audiences on a trip down memory lane. 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Pusheen P It's alright, it's a fine watch if your bored and there's nothing to watch, I didn't have any specific issues with it but the reason I don't really like it is the characters feel a bit one damentional, and the story a bit bland, it has good representation but some of it feels quite forced Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/23 Full Review James B While it was interesting hearing about the rise and fall of Blockbuster I felt that there were some parts of this movie that were lacking. 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review stephen b Touches on an interesting tale, but fills the time with random B-List scenarios with little connection to the actual story. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review Karen D This brought back so many memories, pretty repetitive but if you were there before then this movie is nostalgic Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review corkball 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') Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
