Look, this is a documentary about a guy who ran Megaupload, got raided by New Zealand police at the behest of the U.S. government, and became a symbol of internet freedom (or piracy, depending on who you ask). The premise is genuinely interesting—questions about digital ownership and privacy matter.
But here's the thing: a 48% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes tells you this isn't exactly a gripping watch. It's dry, it's one-sided (clearly sympathetic to Dotcom), and unless you're already fascinated by tech policy or legal minutiae, you'll probably zone out.
For families? This is a hard pass for movie night. Maybe—MAYBE—if you've got a high schooler interested in law, tech, or current events, it could be worth a watch as a conversation starter. But honestly, there are better documentaries about internet culture and digital rights that are actually engaging.
Not terrible, just... niche and not particularly well-executed. Skip unless you're specifically curious about this case.
