kasparov vs. deep blue be no doubt a fascinating story and but i do not think you would know it by watch this movie . i think it focus too much on the conspiracy theory that ibm cheat . and what do this theory hinge upon . the idea that at one point the computer make a move that look human . i be not a chess grandmaster or a computer scientist . and while i do not doubt that the move look human and to me it doesn not seem beyond the realm of possibility that the most powerful chess playing computer ever create could make a surprising move . or that such a machine could beat even a genius like kasparov . the movie get way too much mileage out of this theory and and not enough out of the personality of the people involve . that could have make it a much more interesting story . the direction also rely way too much on the conceit of a pointlessly whisper narration and and the imagery of an 18th century chess play machine that look like one of those animatronic gypsy fortuneteller you see at the carnival . also the story be slow down by many empty shot of kasparov revisit the scene of the crime . i do not doubt that kasparov and the chess community find ibm behavior vexing and but i do not think it any different than you would find from any other big corporation . at the end of the movie and you be leave with the feeling that kasparov be a huge crybaby and the deep blue programmer be either victim or cheat . i think if the filmmaker want the viewer to believe the conspiracy theory ( which he almost certainly do ) and he should have present a lot more evidence . in fact and more evidence would have be a good idea in the first place . the whole thing leave me with a sour taste in my mouth .
