The Science Fiction Universe and Beyond
The Science Fiction Universe and Beyond: Syfy Channel Book of Sci-Fi | Michael Mallory
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Travel where no man has gone before with this decade-by-decade progression of science-fiction classics. From the classic, low-budget space exploration Flash Gordon tales of the Saturday matinee serials, to the slick CGI-realized world of The Matrix, science-fiction films have long been pushing the boundaries of the visually and dramatically fantasticturning the known world on its head, playing with the laws of physics, and all the while holding their audience spellbound. The Science Fiction Universe . . . and Beyond offers a breadth of knowledge, insight, and passion to a century of close encounters, black holes, time travel, distant planets, impossible quests, nuclear war, futuristic technology, inexplicable forces, spaceships, extraordinary monsters, and subterranean societies. Arranged chronologically, showing the progression of sci-fi over the decades, and delving into interesting back stories and trivia, this volume includes a variety of classic films and television shows, such as The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), The Twilight Zone (19591964), Doctor Who (19631989), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Star Wars, Episode IVA New Hope (1977), Alien (1979), E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Star Trek: The Next Generation (19871994), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Stargate SG-1 (19972007), Battlestar Galactica (20042009), and many others.

I picked up this week on sale for $5! It's a coffee table book with beautiful end papers!Cool and nerdy SciFi movie/TV facts and trivia. Photos from many movies including vintage stuff like Logan's Run and even older black & white films like A Trip to the Moon. Great stuff on the more modern shows.

sandra888 love the endpapers! 8y
