Bookgasm gives The Futurist a hearty endorsement in this review:
It’s ironic that a guy who got his start in filmmaking working for penny-pinching producer Roger Corman has gone on to make the most expensive movies of all time. Then again, nothing about James Cameron’s life is conventional, as you’ll witness several times over in his warts-and-all biography, penned by TIME journalist Rebecca Keegan.
Lucky for her — and us — Cameron allowed himself to be interviewed, as did family, friends and frenemies, making THE FUTURIST: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF JAMES CAMERON as likely a complete portrait as we’re going to get. Like most of his movies, it’s exciting, fascinating and difficult not to consume in a single sitting.
