Reviews for The Liverpool Companion to World Science Fiction Film (Liverpool Science Fiction Texts and Studies Lup)

This book provides an important point of entry for those academics and students who wish to broaden their understanding of science fiction film as a global phenomenon rather than simply as a Hollywood or Anglophone practice.'
