As a child I had to watch this movie as a punishment.

This is a terrible movie. The format is bad. The effects are bad. There's not much anyone can get out of this aside from a few facts about the history of numbers. You'd get more entertainment of just googling the origin of symbols. This thing is a literal punishment. It is so bad. It fails at every element you need for a successful documentary (aside from providing a few basic facts). This thing is so bad and cringe worthy. No one should watch this thing.
