I really liked his style, and what he says about scifi in general - the chapter on the origins of scifi was brilliant, but a bit of a killer for me - so many books I haven't read! In the review I compared it to Telotte's <I>Science Fiction Film</I>, which looks as scifi films having three different modes, basically: as fantastic, marvelous, and uncanny - although also admitting that it has a serious cross-genre tendency too. It's well worth a read if you haven't yet (and, of course, when you get the time, after the great chariot scene of <I>Ben Hur</I>... is it wrong of me to say that that was the most boring part of the movie??).Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478842515011378244noreply@blogger.com
