Behind The Sci-Fi Channel and More
Date of Review: Apr 28, 2000
Sci-Fi Entertainment
nine issues
$19.95 (originally)
(I received first year free for signing up for movie channels)
Even if I didn't receive this magazine free, I would subscribe to it. I found it to be the most entertaining magazine for the science fiction world. (one step lower then my Fangoria)
Sci-Fi Entertainment is also very professional looking. It has a beautiful glossy cover, inside pages are laid out wonderfully for an easy read. The table of contents is accurate. Pictures inside are pure artistic. From pictures of movies to sci-fi artists.
Articles are in depth and followed through with intelligence and fact finding. A rare combination in most entertainment magazines. The interviews are fun to read. I have learned more about the characters behind X-Files then from any People magazine.
Besides the usual articles about tv or movie news, they also have great articles pertaining to books, games and upcoming tv shows on the Sci-Fi channel. I wasn't sure about a certain program (Lexus) when I saw the previews on tv, but after reading the behind the scenes articles, I understood what the program was about and I am know very engrossed in it.
It progresses into what is coming up on the Sci-Fi channel in the near future and about upcoming movies, new series and even the older series. Something that is a tv guide but much more in depth and more detailed. I have the magazine next to the Sunday tv guide as my guide to the Sci-Fi channel.
I like to even comment on the advertising throughout this magazine. Though there is full pages ads done, they are done with taste and they stay with the genre of the magazine. I even cut out a few advertising pictures to make a collage with my son, the bright pictures are equally artistic. (another rarity in magazines)
Between the lay out and the contents of this magazine, you cannot beat the quality of this magazine. If you are into the science fiction genre, then this is the magazine that will appeal to you.
