Jurassic Punk

There's no doubting the sincerity of emotion expressed in the historical-survey parts of the movie.

“Jurassic Punk” tells the very juicy story of pioneers, naysayers and professional hierarchies that made Williams both the Necessary Man and an eventual outcast.

Spaz beautifully balances its reverence for an underestimated underdog with a more real side; it's also the kind of documentary that enhances your appreciation for some of the best films ever made.

Full of frank interviews with old colleagues and marvellous movie-making anecdotes, this brings to life the Wild West feel of the effects industry at the time, with a fascinating creative at its centre.

I’m a sucker for showbiz docs, and I quite liked this one because I think it’s the best thing we’ve gotten in a long time that actually deals with the VFX revolution.

Though I'm far from a techie person, this techie film and its guileless but sympathetic creative subject held my interest.

Great when it recaptures the days when Spaz Williams, his fellow computer effects "punk" Mark Dippe' and others were showing up to work at ILM and asking "How're we gonna do THAT?" When nobody else had the answer, they came up with one, and then others.

A fascinating documentary about an area of modern big budget cinema which is often overlooked.

An ordinary documentary with an extraordinary subject, and its one that every movie lover needs to see.

In contrast to the visions his work gave us, now used in the background of many a documentary, the latter part of this one is very traditionally constructed, mingling direct-to-camera interview with still photographs from his chaotic years.
