Abstract

This article considers the significance of transnational production, aesthetic, and narrative strategies in recent forms of "apocalyptic" science fiction cinema. As the article explores, a more transnational mode of science fiction offers the opportunity for popular genre cinema to engage with pressing environmental questions, the contexts of climate politics, and particularly the historical and present role of science fiction in confronting, or sometimes avoiding, these issues.
