    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Exclusive info, good reviews, excellent pics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If you don't subscribe then the price can be a bit expensive

    I have been subscribed to SFX magazine for quite some time now and although I can get a lot of the news and other info from the internet I still enjoy the read. So as you can probably guess from the title, the mag will appeal to anyone who is into the Science-Fiction and Fantasy genre. This can range from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter to Farscape and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Whatever you're into there's always something interesting to read.The magazine is 122 pages in total and covers all of the latest news and views in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy world. The magazine costs around £3.60 in the ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything SF

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Adverts

    SFX magazine is one of the leading monthly science fiction magazines on the market. I've been reading it since about 1998. The magazine covers everything from film to book to merchindisae etc, over many SF and cult genres. SFX copntains four main scetions which are dispersered throughout its 122 pages. The first few pages, entitled 'Strange Tales', features the months SF and cult news. This covers anything from new films to axed shows, who's writing what to who's starring in what any anything else the SFX team feels we ought to know. You can also find tid-bits such as Fahrenheit 451 and Objet ... more

    5 Stars Buffy,Dr Who,Star Wars all in one glossy bundle 09/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Intelligent writing, good coverage, entertaining read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bit pricey at £3, but worth it.

    I've subscribed to this mag for a couple of years now and despite the odd format change, it has always proved an interesting, informative and entertaining read. The title of the mag SFX is often obscured by the photo on the front so that the bottom of the "F" cannot be seen, thus making it look like the mag has the word SEX emblazoned across the cover, so always attracts some attention when you read it on a packed train! The cover price is £2.95 (or it was before I started subscribing) and often has freebies, they gave a free paperback DrWho book away last month that was actually quite good ... more

    5 Stars Sex on the road 18/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Again another teen movie with lots of sex involved, however this one pulls it off with a good general plot and some excellant moments that are quite reminisant of American Pie. The story evolves round college students that have to go in search of a home made video on its way to one of thems girlfriend in another american college. Quite simply from the moment the film starts it will have you in fits of laughter and when they actually get on the road it just gets funnier as disaster strikes. Although this film is excellant it was spoilt very much by the trailer which does show off the most funny ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A fun read covering all the best SF on TV and films, as well as books and comics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gives too much away about plots

    My eyes wandered upwards to the top shelf, drawn by the glossy, enticing cover. I must not buy it. I must not succumb, I repeat to myself. People give me an odd look. Did I say that out loud? My head feels hot and I realise I am blushing. My palms start to sweat. I know my wife doesn’t want me to buy it but I WANT it so much. I NEED it! I know it will make me feel so good. I could hide it. Sneak it in. She’d never know. But then I wouldn’t be able to read it in front of her. And she’s bound to detect my guilt even if she doesn’t find the magazine. I could take it ... more

    5 Stars Very SFXy... 26/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Best SF mag in the uk

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes people think you're buying a magazine called SEX

    I've been reading SFX magazine for about four years now, and it's just got better and better. It's one of only two magazines that I have to buy every single month (the other one is Empire - The film magazine). SFX is a magazine dedicated to science fiction and fantasy in general. Anything that falls into this remit is in, and even things that don't on occasion. For instance they included TOTP2 in one issue because it was having a vaguely SF based edition. Likewise the C4 sitcom gets quite a lot of mentions, because although it is a sitcom, it contains a huge number of homages to SF as well ... more

    5 Stars SFX - the magazine of the future 16/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Enjoyable, up-to-date, Couch Potato

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Removing Couch Potato

    Having read SFX magazine since it's first ever issue (it's onto number 75 now) I've seen the editorial team change and the magazine style change and develop. Sections have come and gone. For instance, readers of the magazine are divided on the Couch Potato section where people watch four or five videos in one sitting and comment on them (personally I think it's one of the funniest sections and the Brian Blessed one was brilliant) and because of this it has gone from the magazine and has only now returned. The magazine has very up-to-date news and has teams of people in America reviewing the ... more
