About the Author
From the Back Cover
Why do SF movies matter? What do they tell us about the interests of storytellers and the changing tastes of cinema-goers? How have SF movies evolved together with filmmaking technology over the past century?
Once a cult phenomenon, now a fixture of contemporary pop culture, SF films have never been more prominent. In The Geek's Guide to SF Cinema, deputy editor for Den of Geek, Ryan Lambie, shines fresh light on critical turning points in the evolution of SF cinema through thirty significant films.
Both entertaining and enlightening, this Geek's Guide highlights SF's most influential films, from those of the pioneering Georges Méliès to such contemporary blockbusters as Star Wars, Alien, Avatar and Inception. Through interviews with directors, actors and academics, this book provides a detailed tour of an evolving genre. From finding out how Rutger Hauer wrote one of the most famous lines in genre cinema to better understanding the lasting power of Japanese classic Akira, The Geek's Guide to SF Cinema is a lively pop-culture book with unrivalled depth.

An excellent read that I highly recommend to anyone building a film collection.




I like to think I’m a geek but I learned things I never knew about the movies in this book.
Highly recommended if you love movies.
