While preparing to teach a class on The Science Fiction Film, I looked at a number of texts on the subject and chose Cornea's book. That said, I felt it was the best of a bad lot. Science Fiction isn't always easy to categorize, but Cornea lingered over some questionable titles, such as The Demon Seed, and allowed other, more classic or recognizable titles much less space. Also, Cornea, an obvious feminist, wasted a lot of print in my opinion on gender issues. How helpful are chapters entitled "The Masculine Subject of Science Fiction in the 1980s" and "Gender Blending and the Science Fiction Subject in Science Fiction Film" when you're simply trying to introduce the students to the fundamentals of science fiction? Another chapter is on race relations in the science fiction film. Because she's interested in gender issues and race, she favors films that fit these categories and tends to ignore those that don't, skipping some important films. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I want my students to get a solid grounding in the major themes and films of the genre and not be overly concerned with image and theory. Nevertheless, in spite of these drawbacks, Cornea does tackle the major sci-fi eras, such as the 1950s, with enthusiasm and provides the reader with a sense (though limited) of the history and background to the genre.
