Science Fiction – A Genre With No Limits
Science fiction, on the whole, has captivated movie-goers, novel readers, and television enthusiasts equally for generations. While many people would classify sci-fi itself as a genre, there is much more to it than that. It is a very broad genre that truly is made up of a large variety of smaller sub genres. Often times, fans are classified and clustered into one large group with the same interests and tastes and that is simply not the case. Throughout television, literature, films, and even theater, this genre has become one of the most widespread yet varied forms of mass media today.
Another misconception is that it is based on fantasy. Fantasy and science fiction are closely tied, but there is a main difference between the two. Producers always finds a way to justify the storyline or interactions between characters in a scientific way that makes the story plausible. On the other hand, fantasy media portrays impossible situations with no set explanation. Fantasy just allows your imagination to run free. Science fiction always gives you an explanation which lets you believe more in the story and focus more on the plot rather than question the seemingly impossible aspects.
One of the great parts about science fiction is the timelessly classic feeling that older movies contain. Sure it’s great to see the big bad new age films with explosions and multi-million dollar budgets, but there is something to be said for the old classics. Even with massive budgets and all the high talent actors possible, some of the new movies can never truly convey the imagination and creativity of the originals.
