It's 1 hour, and a very good doc by the way. Lots of Star Wars.
I was less than impressed. Only ten minutes on the real star wars trilogy from 77-83 and little to nothing except that on physical effects done the good old fashioned way. It was basically a long documentary on ILM Cgi and the prequels.
I guess i should have expected that though with a title like creating the impossible, it would heavily focus on the development of the Computer graphics group that eventually replaced the physical effects group.
The book Droidmaker and Into the digital realm as well as the making of the special edition already covered all of this. Some of the clips were new.
They missed a lot of stuff like the old star trek movies and the back to the future trilogy, as well as return of the jedi, temple of doom and last crusade.
Definitely not worth the extra twenty bucks i had to form over to see it on demand by purchasing a movie package with encore/starz.
I would not pay that sum of money on DVD for it because of the lack of focus on real special effects. CGI is not anymore special as it is used way too heavily in all films.
A Lucash prequel era doc is worthless.
