Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for spy-story fans and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. Nobody is quite who they seem. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 58 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

As an actor, director and producer, Ray Harryhausen has been a vibrant figure in Hollywood, working on everything from family films to mind-bending sci-fi. But his true genius lay in the creation of special effects for movies such as Mighty Joe Young and It Came from Outer Space. Narrated by Leonard Nimoy and featuring appearances by George Lucas and Ray Bradbury, this film documents Harryhausen's remarkable life's work.
