05.26.15Netflix A By-the-numbers doc cataloging Ray Harryhausen's work and impact to cinema history. This grabs interviews from everyone who should be interviewed but something about the production quality of this makes me feel like it's a DVD special feature or something. It feels like some interviews are scrounged from different sources or something and the chronological nature where the movie moves from film to film gives the doc an unpolished note. On the other hand, you might watch this movie because you want to know more about his work and this is exactly what this gives you so my complaints are really minor nitpicks for a serviceable and decent doc.
