I watched the movie at the SxSW conference.
I thought it was very well done, looking at the impact of gaming on relationships, addiction, new social structures, freedom for those otherwise handicapped, and the role of gold farming.
As a long time gamer (played Ultima Online back in '97) I may be biased, but anyone with a passing interest in gaming will find it worthwhile.
