Although the network tries to dress it up, Science Channel is merely exploring its inner geek with “Raiders, Raptors and Rebels: Behind the Magic of ILM,” a synergistic celebration of George Lucas’ special-effects factory Industrial Light & Magic. Covering a lot of ground similar to a 2010 doc by Leslie Iwerks, the special proves slightly disjointed, simultaneously focusing on filmmaking breakthroughs introduced by ILM, and how some of those early “Star Wars” creations, in particular, have actually gained a toehold with parallel real-world innovations. Breezy and mildly fun, it’s mostly an excuse to make watching old movie clips seem educational.
Narrated by Mark Hamill, the special comes from Lincoln Square Prods., an arm of ABC News — like Lucasfilm, part of the Disney empire. Yet while the Science niche invites a more technical approach to the conversation, the main thrust boils down to the evolution of visual effects, as one of ILM staffer puts it, which “help filmmakers tell stories that can’t be told otherwise.”
