| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiFilmmakers Luis Lopez and J. Clay Tweel achieve the fairness and balance so rarely seen in documentaries nowadays. |
| Village VoiceDiana ClarkeThe filmmakers assume, rightly for the most part, that viewers will be invested in the origin story and power struggles at the start-up MakerBot, one of the first companies to make and sell 3-D printers to the public. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe movie’s biggest entertainment, however, is not the market-share rivalry between MakerBot Industries, in Brooklyn, and the younger Formlabs, in Boston, but its fearless dive into dweeb-culture head space. |
| User ReviewGiovanni MCaught this on Netflix. Didn't know much about 3D printers and their capabilities. This documentary shows the startup companies that are trying to do what Microsoft did for the PC. Cool stuff. |
| User ReviewJesse BInteresting doc about 3-D printing AND about the paths/choices/troubles of modern tech start-ups. |
| User ReviewRoss KDocumentário sobre os revolucionários que tentaram trazer a impressão 3D para o desktop e que foram totalmente cooptados pelas grandes coorporações. |
| User ReviewErick FPretty good documentary. It felt more like an allegory about capitalism with robot making robots that just so happen to play as the McGuffin. Netflix always has great cinematography and seamless ending. Everything flows together. The comparisons to Steve Job's and the Apple/Microsoft battle is done subtly. A convincing documentary that stops telling you about the printer and instead shows you the next draft of prosperous men in industry. Good concept, good execution. |
| User ReviewPeter PDon't fool yourself, this is not a documentary about 3D printing. It's one about how an entepreneur can become a "Steve Jobs" and what happens in the middle. We don't need to understand the mechanics of 3D printing... just google it or watch a Nat Geo tv show. This is something more deep and it's fantastic. |
| User ReviewMarilena GAnother Netflix Original. Good documentary about the current state of 3D printers. Cool :) |
| User ReviewRichard LA thoughtful documentary about an exciting and terrifying subject. Print the Legend manages to walk the line of simplicity within a broad topic, and is all the better for it. |
