Star Wars is back. Planet of the Apes is being remade. Adventures to Mars and beyond are standard otherworldly fare, as the fascination with the Red Planet endures. The Matrix is a huge success, spawning two sequels. We’re living in Arthur C. Clark and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Sci-fi is hotter than a blazing sunspot again, as Hollywood looks to the outer edges of the imagination for inspiration and commercial success. Sci-fi fans, including devoted Trekkers, X-philes, Whovians, and G-fans (you know who you are) finally get their due with this handy video guide to their own peculiar universes. From monsters and mad scientists to space exploration and time travel, VideoHound’s Sci-Fi Experience spans the genre with 1,200 video reviews, including 20 sci-fi television series like The Twilight Zone, The Prisoner, The Outer Limits, and The Invaders and documentaries in the Alien Autopsy tradition. Cult movie maven Carol Schwartz and her band of unearthly collaborators take a comprehensive tour of the night sky, beginning with Abbott and Costello Go to Mars and terminating with Zontar, The Thing from Venus. In between, much fun is to be had with Barbarella, Godzilla, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and I Was a Zombie for the FBI. In addition to providing reviews and ratings, Sci-Fi Experience features movie quotes and taglines, 125 stills, out-of-this-world sidebars, and a bevy of indexes, plus a futuristic resource section.
