101 Sci-fi Movies You Must See Before You Die
Author(s): Steven Jay Schneider
Can you tell your Dagobah from your Delos and your Ming from your Morlock? Do you need help understanding 2001: A Space Odyssey? From the classic low-budget Flash Gordon tales to the slick CGI-realised world of The Matrix, science-fiction films have long pushed the boundaries of the visually and dramatically fantastic. 101 Sci-fi Movies You Must See Before You Die is your perfect one-stop guide to them all. Great sci-fi movies turn the known world on its head, play with the laws of physics and all the while hold the viewer spellbound with a gripping vision of future worlds. With insight from critics, film historians and academics, this book applies knowledge and passion to a century of close encounters, distant planets, time travel, black holes, strange outfits, futuristic technology, inexplicable forces, fantastic spaceships, fluorescent drinks and subterranean societies. Strap yourself in: you're set for a rocket ride to sci-fi heaven.
