This is the rare documentary that's both genuinely educational AND entertaining. If your teen has ever wondered how they made the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park or the space battles in Star Wars, this is appointment viewing.

The perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes isn't hype—it's a well-crafted series that shows real creative problem-solving and innovation. It's not dumbed down, which means it respects its audience but also means younger kids might bounce off it.

For families with budding filmmakers, engineers, or anyone interested in the intersection of art and technology, this is gold. For everyone else, it's still a fascinating look at how some of the most iconic movie moments were created. Just know it's a documentary, not a thrill ride—set expectations accordingly.
