Description: The incredible popularity of the movies has led to the formation of strong emotions within the science fiction community on the strengths and flaws of the films, exemplified here by David Brin's attacks and Matthew Woodring Stover's defence of the movies. This intense examination of the epic works addresses a broad range of issues - from politics, religion and the saga's overall logic to the impact of the series on bookshelf space as well as science-fiction film.
