"This beautiful book examines the extraordinary and mind-boggling work that goes into producing such a film, the prosthetics, the model-making, the CGI, the concept art... This is a monumentally good keepsake, another huge winner from front-runner Titan Books, now recognised as one of the strongest publishers in the field of movie books. Amazing."

""Elysium: The Art of the Film" is superior to most companion books partially by the wealth of information in it but also because of the quality of that information. It doesn't merely serve to accompany your favorite sci-fi flick of the Summer, it tries to enhance it. More "Art of the Film" books should do the same."

"The Stanley Kubrick Archives come to mind when reading this book, partly because there's so much detail that wasn't on screen, but also because the notes, contribution from actors and design folks are so complete it's like you're on set. 9.5/10"
