Science fiction has always been a staple of the film industry. By making us think outside the box, this genre allows the viewer to live anywhere - and anywhen - they choose. Whether defending the Earth from invading aliens (Men In Black) or traveling anywhere in the galaxy (Doctor Who), science fiction creates a whole new world full of impossibilities and adventure.
Science fiction also plays a major role in people's lives. Unlike most genres, Science Fiction has a major following. Shows like Star Trek, Firefly, and Star Wars have almost cult-like fans. Dressing in costumes, going to conventions, and acting like their idols, people are able to briefly live in the world they worship.
It's true that science fiction covers a broad spectrum of movies and themes. I guess that's why so many people enjoy them and can relate to them so passionately.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fact that science fiction fans are the most involved/obsessed fans compared to the other genres. And that science fiction is so popular because it allows anyone and everyone to escape the normality of life and explore never ending possibilities.
