Alien
to
The Matrix
‘I really enjoyed
From
Alien
to
The Matrix
, it seemed like an incredibly necessary
book – 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 encyclopaedic knowledge of a hundred
years of written SF and what movies mean.’
Neil Gaiman
‘Roz Kaveney is the ideal guide to the contemporary SF landscape. She knows
how to look at movies; she knows which movies to look at, and she has both an
unerring eye for what is significant about everything she looks at and a prose
style more than equal to the task of conveying sometimes complex ideas with
clarity and wit. Her analyses of major franchises like
The Terminator
,
The Matrix
and (particularly) the
Alien
cycle are exemplary in their piercing perceptiveness,
but
From
Alien
to
The Matrix
brings the same acuity of vision to less obvious
but equally vital movies like
Small Soldiers
,
Strange Days
and
Galaxy Quest
.’
Charles Shaar-Murray
‘
From
Alien
to
The Matrix
is a terrific book. The author successfully redresses
the unbalanced nature of popular culture and genre criticism in the field of
science fiction. She overturns the theory (still widely held) that it is a debased
genre and unworthy of serious critical study, while not wholly subscribing to the
postmodern reaction that all popular culture is worthy of attention because it
is “popular”. Well-chosen examples of genre films and associated aspects allow
her to explore in considerable depth the text as well as the effects of the work on
other genres. Above all, the author avoids the academic aridity of similar works
by a combination of persuasive prose, massive erudition and unashamed passion.
She actually likes this stuff and is unafraid to say so. She is also discerning
enough to tell good genre work from bad – which is not as easy as many
commentators think.’
