"Viva Amiga. The Documentary Film by Zach. Viva Amiga - 123Movies. Viva Amiga. VIVA AMIGA: THE STORY OF A BEAUTIFUL MACHINE. Available Worldwide – Watch Now. In a world of green on black, they dared to dream in color. 1985: An upstart team of Silicon Valley mavericks created a miracle: the Amiga computer. A machine made for creativity. For games, for art, for expression. Breaking from the mold set by IBM and Apple, this was something new. Something to change what. Hard to say you can really spoil a documentary on something real that happened in the past, but, yes some of what I write in this review will be a 'spoiler' since it refers to things actually in the Documentary. It twists my brain just trying to get it around that concept here!
First off, I will say there is little I didn't already know going into watching this documentary. I am a long time Commodore/Amiga user and follow retro computing very closely. But I am not the primary target audience for this film.
It is important to keep in mind the purpose of this documentary is to provide the information and context of the Commodore Amiga to people who might have never heard of it. It is now over 30 years since the release of this computer, and more than 20 years since Commodore went bankrupt. So more and more people will never have used one, and may never have seen one. But it is important as companies now try to rewrite history to know about this machine. It was a time when the Mac was black and white and could run only one program at a time, and only on the small internal monitor. When PCs running the operating systems written by Microsoft could only barely do color, mostly run only one program at a time, and could only do sound with add on cards.
Onto this scene dropped the Amiga with full preemptive multitasking, high resolution (for its time) color graphics with up to 4096 colors on screen. All things not seen on a computer in reach of most users of the day. Then on top of it due to the design using the TV resolution and frequency of the day, it made low cost Computer video production use a reality with many Genlocks and other video hardware that were released for the platform as well as paint and video titling programs all culminating in the original Video Toaster effects switcher package which, along with the Lightwave 3D ray tracing package, made programs like Babylon 5 and SeaQuest DSV a reality.
Back when computer generated objects were not commonplace even in movies much less Television, Amiga placed these tools in the common persons hands. Apple may have used the advertising slogan "Think Different" but this computer allowed those who owned them to actually realize that slogan.
That said, this documentary captures all these concepts. It takes the viewer back to the release of the Amiga through video clips from that time, as well as recounting by some of the engineers who worked on it and users who discovered it.
Then this film takes you all the way to the present to those who still choose to use the Amiga as the tool is was built for. The Computer for the Creative Mind.
