Items related to From Alien to the Matrix: Reading Science Fiction Film
Written by a world expert in Science Fiction, From Alien to The Matrix is a hugely entertaining and enlightening read and a new critical approach to SF films that considers them as autonomous creations and contributions to the genre and to the broader culture. Kaveney looks at the movies of alien invasion and movie franchises, and offers a celebration of Galaxy Quest; deep readings of the Alien quartet, of Dark City, Starship Troopers and Strange Days; extended consideration of the Star Wars series and the Terminator films, and much more.

Review:
*An incredibly necessary text--arming the geeks with tools to read films for the DVD generation--and possibly regeneration. Clear, simple text, in which an understanding of slash fiction is as important to the text as an encyclopedic knowledge of a hundred years of written SF, and what movies mean.*--Neil Gaiman
*An exemplary book of its kind. For any other authors considering tackling this subject, it is the book to beat.*--Charles Shaar Murray
