Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Filmmakers Luis Lopez and J. Clay Tweel achieve the fairness and balance so rarely seen in documentaries nowadays ... Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times For most of us, the mechanics of 3-D printers are as mystifying as the movements of galaxies - a knowledge gap that the documentary "Print the Legend" does absolutely nothing to address. Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Diana Clarke Village Voice The filmmakers assume, rightly for the most part, that viewers will be invested in the origin story and power struggles at the start-up MakerBot, one of the first companies to make and sell 3-D printers to the public.

Audience Member Seems so boring on the surface but a good documentary can take a subject you have no interest in and make it interesting. At the core its not about 3D printers but focused on tech startups and the trials and tribulations they go through. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good documentary. It felt more like an allegory about capitalism with robot making robots that just so happen to play as the McGuffin. Netflix always has great cinematography and seamless ending. Everything flows together. The comparisons to Steve Job's and the Apple/Microsoft battle is done subtly. A convincing documentary that stops telling you about the printer and instead shows you the next draft of prosperous men in industry. Good concept, good execution. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member An intriguing documentary on the nascent 3D printing industry and the players(and dramas) involved. Potential viewers should be aware that this is a documentary about the people and businesses involved; the scientific aspect of the 3D printers is not the focus of this film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Documentário sobre os revolucionários que tentaram trazer a impressão 3D para o desktop e que foram totalmente cooptados pelas grandes coorporações. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting look at the world of 3D printing and how it could change the way manufacturing and personal printing works. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Neeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddddddssssssss Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
