Rewind This! is somewhat lacking in big-name first-hand accounts. But where the film is on firmer territory is in championing those lovers of the format who have ignored DVD, Blu-ray and digital downloads in favour of keeping the VHS dream alive.

The real treat of Rewind This! is the geek-speak about VHS tapes telling uniquely distinct stories.
