Yes, interesting overview yet with chaotic background.
We can watch a number of significant scientists and authors, that point out some crucial ideas on spiritual development of human society, consciousness and its altered states.
We see also some interesting historical footage.
Yet, for me two things were the obstacle in full appreciation of movie's subject. One was constant techno music playing in the background. Its intensity was different, but while played together with someone speaking, distracted from listening of the message.
Second thing was visual technique used - very often picture disruptions and other intereferences, suggesting 'old, archival material'. This, together with video displayed sometimes completely irrelevant to the spoken word heard made this interesting movie harder to grasp and absorb.

In the beginning I mark that I have never pplayed or even seen Grand Theft video game. I just saw this short movie as a separate work.
To put it concise: interesting graphics (especially fine light/shade scenes), monotoneous music (I believe a single piece looped), bleak, apocalyptical visions (why ? What for? No clue...).
I would say - only for computer animation fans.

Why I give 8 out of 10 ? (not 10...)
Because nothing was mentioned about possible reason of Lee's death. Trite subject ? Maybe, yet it is still puzzling why such a man just suddenly passed away at the age of his top abilities.
Unique advantage of this production is original Game of Death footage, not published before. DVD released about 1995 shows about 20 minutes of material, which is quite unlike - rather typical action/criminal story, though it was still good to see it (different fight scene at the highest pagoda level).
But definitely the best in this production is its mood - true Lee's philosphy. Timeless and universal message how to find one's own way of life and expression, instead of following footsteps of others.
