4) SF\/F GEOGRAPHY QUIZ<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How well do you know your science fiction and fantasy geography?<\/p>\n

Culled from SF\/F cinema and television, we have selected 36 images depicting a variety of landscapes, from strange alien worlds and futuristic cities to legendary lands and foreboding architecture, each a setting featured in a different science fiction or fantasy movie or TV series.<\/p>\n

These images are what filmmakers term \u201cestablishing shots.\u201d Whether real-world locations, miniature sets, glass or matte paintings, or a composite of several elements seamlessly stitched together by Hollywood\u2019s special effects wizards, an establishing shot is employed to visually place the audience in a particular setting ahead of the action that is about to unfold.<\/p>\n

Your challenge is to identify the film or TV series that corresponds to each image. Give yourself an additional pat on the back if you can name or describe the geographical location in question!<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n
