Any movie that focuses on a "scene" or niche like that, NES, arcade games, computer games of a certain era.... they almost always suck because the writers/filmmakers just aren't hardcore gamers/members of these niches themselves and you can tell.

That movie Whiplash about the college kid in high level big band, that felt more legitimate. Apparently it didn't get every single detail about playing in a band right, but it did capture it mostly, and it ends up the director was in such a big band in school. You could tell.

I've never felt that when I've watched mvoies about nerdy subjects like these. They always feel fake.
