In Search of Tomorrow

Associate backer here. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire documentary. Structure wise, it's edited well, music is great, interviews and stories are fun.

Content was great for me as well, even though I pretty much already knew every single thing they showed or mentioned and could probably recite nearly every scene that they featured.

My only gripe was it being a bit too heavy on the global warming preaching. It doesn't fit for the genre of that time in the first place, as the social commentary of sci-fi in the 70's and 80's was about nuclear war, population issues, etc. And even if it had been on point, we just don't need preaching in a nostalgia documentary. Mentioning it once or twice, sure, but it was far too recurring in the whole show and detracted from the overall enjoyment, even brought you out of the immersion a bit. Seriously, we get enough of "climate change" and "evil corporations" stuff in every single second of life today in all forms of media, we don't need it in this as well.

Other than that gripe, which is a small one, this is the movie to watch for some real sci-fi nostalgia.

While it's not possible to re-watch your favorite sci-fi movies from your childhood for the first time, this is as close as you can get to doing that.
