Rating: 3.5/5 -- Short and sweet and packed with a real affection for classic sci-fi movie-makers, The Sci-Fi Boys should be a treat to anyone who adores the genre. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Doesn't work as even a broad look at sci-fi film history ... nor does it work completely as a tribute to [Forrest] Ackerman thanks to all the additional figures represented. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Peter Jackson, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, John Landis, Dennis Muren, Ray Bradbury, Rick Baker, Roger Corman, Ray Harryhausen and other legendary all-stars of cinema bring to life the evolution of science-fiction and special-effects films from the wild and funny days of B movies to blockbusters that have captured the world's imagination. This is the story of the Sci-Fi Boys, who started out as kids making amateur movies inspired by Forrest J Ackerman's Famous Monsters magazine and grew up to take Hollywood by storm, inventing the art and technology for filming anything the mind can dream.

Product Description:

This documentary examines the evolution of Hollywood's premier sci-fi storytellers. Tracing directors such as Peter Jackson, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg back through childhood, THE SCI-FI BOYS explores the things and people that helped influence and shape their imaginations, from little-known B-movies to the mind-blowing potential of today's special effects.
