| Summary: | This work approaches the themes and trends, many of which have fundamental social, political and
philosophical significance, that have marked the evolution of American science fiction film, and it
points out how the genre has influenced and been affected by the culture in which it has been
produced, often in a context that makes it more real than reality - problems such as environmental
degradation; overpopulation and pressure on space and goods, friction between the sexes, races, and
nations; and the difficulties caused by computers, robots, clones, and aliens. The versatility of
American science fiction film has allowed it to address a wide variety of audiences, from filmgoers
looking for simple, escapist entertainment, to those eager to have their minds challenged. American
science fiction film has also moved to the forefront of filmmaking technology, particularly in the
field of special effects. |
