Just finished watching it. Words cannot describe how fucking incredible the movie was to me. I just hope this movie gets out to everyone, inspires more people to create original and indie games. I sure am more inspired and also scared/putt off from making a game than ever after watching this movie.
Not at home atm but I assume there's a digital copy waiting for me as an original backer of the kickstart?
To complete my earlier answer, I've just tried copying the Steam mp4 file (without modifying it in anyway) to my iPhone 4s and it had no trouble reading it, even though a 1080p video might be overkill on a phone.
As a backer, you're actually getting a digital version, a complementary Steam version, a free copy of Super Meat Boy, and Jim Guthrie's amazing, amazing soundtrack. They really went above and beyond.
Good news, I've just checked my Steam folder and while you're supposed to watch the movie through the application, there's a 3.1GB 1080p mp4 file there.
It also appears to be DRM free (didn't have any trouble opening it with WMP or VLC).
So who does this movie insult enough that the guy making Dyad has been calling the movie creators out over Twitter?

Supposedly, this movie spends a great deal of effort bashing somebody and I haven't had time to watch it yet so I don't know who and for what reason.
I assume it's Jason Degroot, his ex-partner.So who does this movie insult enough that the guy making Dyad has been calling the movie creators out over Twitter?

He's already seen it. He called it "Fascinating" on his Facebook page. He also stated games are an "important part of our culture".so what do you say GAF? shall we get mr ebert to sit down and give this humble film the time it truly deserves?
I had to stop the film a few times when the super meat boy guy opened his mouth and spewed non-sense.
The balding one, his shitty comment towards call of duty/halo and how they are shitty and that he doesn't make shitty games make want to punch my monitor, not because i like halo or COD, i could care less about them. I wanted to punch my monitor because he continues to come off as this pretentious fucking hipster douche bag.
It's a great docu so far (about an hour in) but this guy just continues to rub me the wrong way with his pretentious bullshit.
And i get the same feeling from Phil at times, the way he flips out over his ex-partner felt immature and childish.
Phil Fish seems profoundly immature.
Talking about killing himself if he doesn't finish his game.
Having rage fits of anger about his ex-partner, and about his broken PAX game build.
Most of what I know about Phil Fish stems from the news about his ugly statements during GDC, but this documentary just makes Fish look even worse.
If you've ever created something you thought was really important to yourself and others, you'd know it makes a person imbalanced. I think it's a very accurate portrait of an overly emotional, stressed and loud-mouthed artist.
Really looking forward to finally watching this tonight, first I have to persuade the Mrs.

Made me want to turn off the documentary and go to bed, he acted really fucking childish in that scene.
He also put a review on his blog. So... yeah.He's already seen it. He called it "Fascinating" on his Facebook page. He also stated games are an "important part of our culture".
