While true that this documentary doesn't go into very much depth on the technical side of things, it's quite effective at covering the _human_ story. My inner geek would have liked more (and clearer) shots of the many monitoring displays showing AlphaGo the program's current state and operating metrics during the games, but that wasn't the _point_ of _AlphaGo_ the film.

Surely if I enjoyed watching this, as one who wouldn't even know where the valid moves on a Go board are, an actual Go player would get even more out of it because they would _recognize_ the significance of Move 37, and Move 78, instead of leaning on the commentators (as I did) to glean some shred of understanding.

The reason I haven't awarded a perfect 10/10 rating, however, is that an entire thread is left loose: AlphaGo never, as far as we know, rose above its tendency to get "delusional" in the later stages of a game. This shortcoming, which played a big role in the "plot" leading up to the tournament in Korea, came up again later only in passing. Even if it was just one more text banner at the end, with the others about Lee Sedol, Fan Hui, and the worldwide Go board supply, addressing even _plans_ to solve that one mandelbug would have made this documentary fully satisfying and complete.
