- 摘要
- "Science fiction films present hypothetical futures, featuring imagined technological advancements-not yet realized but perhaps (more or less) plausible. Yet how much of what audiences see is within the bounds of possibility? Can we really envision what a black hole looks like? Can dinosaurs really be genetically re-engineered? Originating from an annual Science Fiction Film Series in Denver, Colorado, this volume of essays examines 10 films, with a focus on discerning the possible, the unlikely, and the purely science fictional. Co-written by a film professor and a scientist, chapters provide analyses of the movies themselves, along with examination of the actual science (or lack thereof) in each film"-- Provided by publisher
