The Saucer Fleet Reviews

  • Ann Keller

    Wonderful resource for sci-fi lovers everywhere! The Saucer Fleet is illustrated with so many stills from movies and TV and is bursting with information about how these films and television series had their birth. The Day the Earth Stood Still, The War of the Worlds, This Is Land Earth, Forbidden Planet and Lost in Space are only a few of the delightful sampling of sci-fi films and series contained within these pages. Schematic drawings of the space craft are included, as well as back drop paintings, photos and details of what was then state-of-the-art special effects. Readers will also appreciate the histories of how each film or TV series came to be. What a marvelous snapshot of our love for flying saucers and alien beings.

    Wonderful treatments of early sci-fi films. Detailed and enlightening accounts of script origins, production, casting, art direction, set and prop production and much more. Detailed accounts of the "flying saucers" featured in all these films. I especially enjoyed the treatments of This Island Earth and Forbidden Planet.
