Rocket Compulsion dives into the world of David Mayman, an Australian pilot with a dream that feels almost childlike in its ambition. The film’s atmosphere is both tense and inspiring, capturing the trials and tribulations of building a functioning rocket belt. You get a real sense of the obsession that drives him, as he navigates technological hurdles and personal doubts. The pacing is raw and unfiltered, almost mirroring the unpredictable journey of invention itself. It’s refreshing to see a documentary that leans into practical effects rather than flashy CGI. Mayman's performances – both literal and metaphorical – carry a weight that resonates, making you reflect on what it truly means to chase a dream against all odds.
