Leave your thoughts about The Sci-Fi Boys.
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergShort 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. |
| CinematicalChristopher CampbellDoesn'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. |
| User ReviewShawn SFascinating documentary, recommended for all movie effects fans! |
| User ReviewMariyam NThe Sci-Fi Boys is a treat to anyone who adores the genre. |
| User ReviewBill BI wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but I got a fun little crash course into the heyday of sci-fi in the '50s and '60s, which is an era that I'm really not that familiar with, so this made for very informative viewing. Well worth a rental, especially if you're like me and just dipping a toe into the genre. |
| User ReviewAlexander ZWhile the Sci-Fi boys is not a perfect film I basked in it's warm glow of love for all things sci-fi in in cinema and the man who influenced so many film professionals today who love the genre. Forrest J. Ackerman through his magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland. |
| User ReviewJames BA fun little tribute to some great men in the history of sci-fi. |
| User ReviewLanky Man PThis documentary is an affectionate look at the science fiction and horror movies of the 30s, 40s, and 50s; the people who made said films, as well as a tribute to Forrest J. Ackerman, who founded and edited "Famous Monsters of Filmland", a magazine on the subject of sci-fi and horror films which most of the filmmakers featured in this documentary latched onto as boys. I liked this documentary, it was nice to see how passionate these now famous directors and make-up artists were even as kids about films and monster movies. |
| User Reviewkatchoo _a fun documentary, perfect for any fan of monster movies or fans of hearing Peter Jackson talk about King Kong. |
| User ReviewJun KSentimental look at the early lovers of sci-fi and fantasy films, who turned their passion into their career. Not the best made doc, but if you're interested in the genre yourself, you should be moved. |
