Stjer (2021)
Laughing from start to end
Definitely a cult movie hit! Silly comedy with some brilliant (visual) jokes and product placement.
Viva Amiga (2017)
Not just for Amigans
Many documentaries about computers need you to have a lot of nerd in you. Not so much this one. It paints a 4096 color picture of what is was like to invent a whole new OS and computer back in the days. It shows the people who did it, how they did it and what became of it. Never a dull moment!
The movies has amazing 90's like 3D animations to string the chapters together. The sound and video quality is of the highest standards.
The documentary was made possible through a Kickstarter (a very appropriate name in the Amiga world) campaign with only a limited budget, but that only shows a little towards the end, where the final chapter seems a little rushed. Luckily the DVD contains many extra's where this and other chapters are shown more extensively (and some are hilarious!)
Overall one of the better computer documentaries, although you might be slightly disappointed if you are looking for three hour technical ramblings about every detail. You'd be better off with Brian Bagnall's book about Commodore.
Viva Amiga!
