The computer-generated imagery (CGI) in Hollywood blockbusters like Star Wars, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Men in Black, and The Matrix seems to elude theorizing and critical analysis. Moving from an exploration of nineteenth-century popular science and magic to Hollywood science fiction cinema of our time, Pierson examines the history, advancements, and connoisseurship of special effects. She shows how popular science magazines, genre filmzines, and computer lifestyle magazines have helped shape the cultural reception of these on-screen technological advancements. The author looks at what makes certain types of cinematic effects special, why this matters, and for whom.
