Book Reviews of Science Fiction in the Cinema
Book Review: Well written and informative; still relevant too
Summary: 4 Stars
Surprisingly well-written and informative, you'll learn about some good older films that you might not have heard of before. Since it was published in 1970, it doesn't include the more recent science-fiction films. That's OK since there were great sci-fi films produced in the 50's and 60's. Some of these older films are now classics and are still very enjoyable. Science fiction fans and film buffs won't be disappointed. Interesting photos make this little paperback even more fun. If you subscribe to Netflix, this book will give you some good ideas for your queue.
