Lonely Planet review

Barnacled onto the hull of the EMP is this nerd paradise, a collection of costumes, props and models from various sci-fi movies and TV shows. Highlights include the actual alien queen from the movie Aliens (1986) - never fear, she's behind Plexiglas in the cargo bay - and the only 3D model of the Death Star made for Star Wars: Episode 4 . Lowlights include a bedraggled Twiki costume from the Buck Rogers TV series.

Rare books and manuscripts - including Neal Stephenson's handwritten Baroque Cycle, stacked as tall as the ET figure next to it - lend the display credibility. But mostly it just makes you want to go rent Blade Runner again.
