Many science fiction movies from the last 40 years have blazed new vistas for viewers. They ve reached further into the future, travelled longer into the past, soared deeper into the vastness of the cosmos, and probed more intently inside man s consciousness than any other period of film before. And audiences ate them up, taking four of the top ten spots in all-time ticket sales while earning more than $2 billion at the box office. Modern Sci-Fi Films FAQ takes a look at the genre s movies from the last 40 years, where the dreams of yesterday and today may become tomorrow s realities. This FAQ travels to a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . . visits a theme park where DNA-created dinosaurs roam . . . watches as aliens come to Earth, hunting humans for sport . . . and much, much more. Filled with biographies, synopses, production stories, and images and illustrations many seldom seen in print the book focuses on films that give audiences two hours where they can forget about their troubles, sit back, crunch some popcorn, and visit worlds never before seen . . . worlds of robots, time travel, aliens, space exploration, and other far-out ideas.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
