"Bright, nerdy and funny! Of course I loved it."
Dara O' Briain, comedian and television presenter
"Fascinating and hilarious. What a wonderful book. Rick and Michael take you on a whirlwind guide around the science you don't know and the movies that you do. You will feel cleverer after reading this."
Richard Osman, co-host of Pointless
"A Sunday Times Book Of The Year 2017... Explores everything from the ins and outs of black holes (Interstellar) to artificial intelligence (Ex Machina)... Edwards and Brooks don't take themselves too seriously and their cartoon heads pop up throughout deconstructing the films wittily while explaining the underlying science simply."
