Download or read book Science Fiction Cinema in the Twenty First Century written by Pablo Gómez-Muñoz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-27 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent films are increasingly using themes and conventions of science fiction such as dystopian societies, catastrophic environmental disasters, apocalyptic scenarios, aliens, monsters, time travel, teleportation, and supernatural abilities to address cosmopolitan concerns such as human rights, climate change, economic precarity, and mobility. This book identifies and analyses the new transnational turn towards cosmopolitanism in science fiction cinema since the beginning of the twenty-first century. The book considers a wide selection of examples, including case studies of films such as Elysium, In Time, 2012, Andrew Niccol’s The Host, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, and Cloud Atlas. It also questions the seeming cosmopolitanism of these narratives and exposes how they sometimes reproduce social hierarchies and exploitative practices. Dealing with diverse, interdisciplinary concerns represented in cinema, this book in the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series will be of interest to readers and scholars working in the fields of science fiction, film and media studies, cosmopolitanism, border theory, popular culture, and cultural studies. It will also appeal to fans of science fiction cinema and literature.

Book excerpt: What happens when the one guy you can't fall for is the only one you can't resist? As one of the new human cadets at an alien military academy, I knew I'd have to prove myself. Especially since I'm one of only a few females sent by Earth. I just didn't know that the one alien I want to impress would be the one who seems determined to hate me. I was sent here because I'm a champion pod racer, so why won't the big, gruff pod instructor let me show him what I can do? If he thinks ignoring me or assigning me after-hours work polishing his pods will discourage me, then he's never met a girl from Texas. If I'm being honest, the alien's huge muscles and gold tattoos have me thinking about riding more than pods when I'm around him, but no way can anything happen with one of my teachers. Right? Especially since I get the idea that the bad boy instructor is hiding something. Does his secret have something to do with the strange things happening at the academy? If there really is a traitor behind it all, could it be him?

Just a few days ago, I was living my best life. Now? I'm on the run on a strange alien planet. Thanks to my short temper and a severe lack of self-control, I'm being hunted, and it's only a matter of time before I end up captured or dead. Now, a hulking Braxian warrior has found me, right when it looked like I had no way out. To say that it's suspicious timing is an understatement. Everyone knows you can't trust the tall, dark, handsome types. Vrex may have his own reasons for joining me on this rollercoaster ride, but all I know is that I need his help. Now, I just have to convince him to help me sneak into the dragon's territory and find Charlie, who the beast seems to think belongs to him. Cause the aliens who bought us? They weren't alone. Their friends are on their way to Agron. Us human women need to stick together if we're going to get off this planet alive. As for Vrex? If he helps me, I'll be in his debt. If there's one thing I've learned about the giant warrior, it's that he always gets what he's owed. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it... Protected by the Alien Warrior is a full-length romance with no cliffhanger and a guaranteed HEA.
