Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Although Jayanti creates an absorbing scenario of possible corporate malfeasance engineered by a group of slide-rule wielding thugs and shadowy boardroom bullies, he fails to produce the requisite smoking pawn.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
In overemphasizing the conspiracy case, Game Over moves from being a compelling documentary to a frankly irritating one.

Chess, computers and intrigue.

Film Scouts
Rating: 3.5/4 --
One of the most exciting, instructive and sheerly entertaining of all chess films.
Chicago Tribune
Rating: 4/5 --
Kasparov is a sympathetic character and, even as he belabors the outcome years later, we feel for him
Filmcritic.com
Rating: 3/5 --
Propelled by the edge-of-nerves atmospherics of Robert Lane's music, this is as much a psychological thriller as a historical document.

Product Description:
In 1997, amidst much media fanfare about the showdown between artificial and human intelligence, chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov lost a set of matches against IBM's "thinking" computer Deep Blue. The documentary film GAME OVER: KASPAROV AND THE MACHINE revisits that series of chess games from Kasparov's perspective, and explores his idea that there may have been an underhanded scheme at work. Taking the chess master's accusations as a starting point, the film investigates the possibility that IBM might have cheated for financial gain, while also positioning the invention of Deep Blue in the history of game playing machines. Part conspiracy theory and part documentation of a media event, GAME OVER considers the fear and wonderment regarding artificial intelligences.
