No star... This documentary doesn't even deserve one star. The worst documentary about one of the most amazing products of our time. Waited two whole years for this movie to be available... yesterday finally sat down and saw it and I’ll be honest, hugely disappointing! I found myself skipping the parts with no dialogue because they were absolutely unnecessary and made the whole thing completely boring. I was hoping for a more journalistic approach to the whole story and what went on after Polaroid discontinued the production. It didn’t give me any new information (as someone who is familiar with the whole Polaroid story and followed it closely and uses the product) and even worse, it didn’t even give any information that I already knew either! Which means it’s not useful for anyone. It’s a completely missed opportunity. This documentary could’ve been something amazing, but instead, it turned out to be a useless montage of colorful pictures with no information whatsoever. I really didn’t understand the whole point of this. The trailer that came out back in 2017 promised a lot, but none of those have been delivered in the actual movie. I was really hoping for something serious and a timeless documentary that we could watch a couple of years from now even and say “wow! So that was the story of getting Polaroid film back” but no... nothing. You forget the documentary an hour after you see it because it doesn’t give you anything. No information, no drama, no struggle, nothing. It doesn’t talk about any of them! Which is really questionable because there was a lot of struggle and drama getting the Polaroid film back...! That is why I said it could have been something great... with a different approach and maybe with people who actually know what a documentary is, it could have been something memorable and respectful.
