Science Fiction is a very technical genre in the movie media. It contains clips of high quality animation that is taken, edited and clipped to create these dramatic movements. These movies cross-mix with other genres in order to make the film more interesting, and so, it attracts more people to watch.
Some cross-mix genres are to make a movie more appealing:
- Superhero Fiction
- Horror Fiction
- Fantasy Fiction or ‘Science Fantasy’
Some subgenres that link with Science Fiction:
- Soft Science Fiction- focus on human characters and relationships
- Characteristics- looking more into technology, outer space and future
- Eras- how science work different between each period of years
- Creation- using technology in creating unseen creatures
Some themes that relates to Science Fiction:
- War/Disaster, massive explosions where it can be huge in size and much more exaggerated than real-life.
- Alien Invasion, the inclusion of a technology-made alien, can be either a protagonist or antagonist.
- Far Future, going through time, traveling to different worlds and adventuring different lives.
-Robotic Films, showing communication between human and artificial lives. Usually ends up in a break-down between them.
Some examples of Science Fiction Movies:
- Godzilla
- X-Men
- The Matrix
- Spiderman
- Jurassic Park
- Star Wars Trilogy
Personally, I enjoy watching superhero and war movies in the science fiction category. Movies such as the Star Wars, Spiderman, etc- the computer generated monsters (for example, General Grievous) are made very realistic-like which can easily attract vast amounts of viewers to just enjoy these great graphical images.

Good start. Consider what defines science fiction films apart from content. Do they have recurring themes or concerns?
