Red Planets: Marxism And Science Fiction

Red Planets: Marxism And Science Fiction

Author: Mark Bould

Science fiction has long been more than just a branch of literature. In fact, science fiction film is now often thought to be at least as important as science fiction books, if not more so. So there is always a need for a clear, straightforward, introductory guide to science fiction film, and that's exactly what this book is. Bould takes us from Melies's charmingly eccentric journey to the moon in 1902 to big-budget adventures like Avatar in 2009. He looks at the way science is portrayed on film, at the spectacle and special effects, and takes in hundreds of films that range from the well known to the obscure.   This is far from being the most detailed or comprehensive account of science fiction film available, but as a starting point you really couldn't do better.
