Lonely Planet review for Movieum
The Movieum may cost a bomb but this awkwardly named attraction devoted to the British film industry is surprisingly well done. It’s divided into various genres – fantasy, musicals, costume drama, horror, science fiction and so on – and because it looks at the industry and not just British films; it includes things like the sets for Star Wars and Superman (filmed at Els-tree Studios in Hertfordshire). There’s lots of participatory stuff – you can film yourself driving though London in an open-top vintage car or flying with Superman; and the large circular room at the finish – which examines all aspects of film production, from makeup and sound to animation and animatronics – is fascinating.
