Enter the Battlefield follows some of the world's top Magic: The Gathering players on the Magic pro tour. It gives some personal backstory for each of them.
As an avid Magic player, I was excited for this . . . it was disappointing. The majority of the film was getting to know the players personal backstory a bit, and that part was mundane and boring. For example, they'd talk to family members who'd say the expected things like "he likes playing the game so much" and "we're proud of him" and "we'll support him no matter what." I was hoping the documentary would focus more on how the best players prepare for tournaments, or their tips for becoming a great player. Overall, it was too high-level for Magic fans and too boring/unenlightening for outsiders. An occasional interesting comment aside, this can be skipped.
