Summary: "In... through... and beyond!"
Review: This is essentially a pictures-and-story book, the text being mainly a run-through of the film with bits of dialogue slightly modified in order to condense the story.The photos are full-colour and plentiful, several of which are printed over 2 pages, including a beautiful letterbox-style shot of the "planets" being worked on by the robots on the Cygnus' bridge. For fans of the film, the most interesting part of this book will be pages 53-55, a section describing a deleted scene which occurs after the meteor storm (1h21m into the film, or Chapter 15 on the DVD). In this sequence, Holland, Pizer, and McCrae are faced with crossing a narrow catwalk over the power center of the Cygnus, which is leaking huge clouds of gas. V.I.N.C.E.N.T. carries Pizer across, B.O.B. carries McCrae, and Holland tries to walk over the catwalk, which breaks and collapses beneath him, but he is saved by the two robots. This scene also appears in the baseball card set. There are nice photos of the entire cast on the inside covers, and some nice close-ups of the "robot funeral". Disappointingly, there are no photos of the internal, red-lava-esque whirlpool inside the black hole, while the same shot of the outer blue whirlpool is used *3* times. Overall, this is an interesting find for a fan of the film, and seeing as how the going rate seems to be just a few dollars, what've you got to lose? As for me, I still have my copy from over 20 years ago, and no, it's definitely NOT for sale.
