Where to find it: Disney+
Length: Six roughly 1-hour episodes
Synopsis: Streaming service filler about ILM history
Recommendation rating: 2/5
What I like about it: occasional interesting “how they did that” moments
What I don’t like about it: bloated beyond reason, it’s Disney corporate autofellatio
Review:
The first half focuses on the early days at Industrial Light & Magic as they made Star Wars, the second half loses what little interest it had by focusing ostensibly on the computer graphics revolution but meandering around it because the topic isn’t that interesting. I had hoped this would focus on the process of modern ILM as they work on recent projects but it turned out to be hagiographic filler trash.
