Wow. Wow. Wow.
That's probably the shortest version of this review, but honestly, it sums up my feelings pretty well.
Watching the behind-the-scenes story of how Thriller was made was fascinating from start to finish. I've always loved the music video, but seeing the creativity, hard work and innovation that went into bringing it to life gave me a whole new appreciation for Michael.
The documentary is packed with interesting stories and details. From the special effects to the choreography and the sheer ambition of the project, it's amazing to see what was achieved. What feels normal today was groundbreaking at the time, and it's easy to forget just how revolutionary Thriller was.
One of the things I enjoyed most was learning about the people behind the scenes. It's a reminder that iconic moments don't just happen. They take vision, talent and a lot of hard work from a huge team of people.
I'm especially glad I watched this at the cinema. Seeing it on the big screen made the experience feel much more special. It felt less like watching a documentary and more like being part of a celebration of a piece of music history.
Whether you're a fan of Michael Jackson, music documentaries or simply great filmmaking, this is well worth your time.
Unlike the zombies in Thriller, this is something that has aged exceptionally well.
5/5
