Sci-Fi

Sci-Fi meaning science fiction are films that are explorative and usually have a background of an element that is supernatural. The codes and conventions usually found in these movies would be aliens, cyborgs, wise old creatures, heroes, villains, and lasers. Although this is not always the case the genre was most popularized during this era. Sci-Fi movies that you may have heard of: Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, Predator, and Terminator. These are just some of the more popular Sci-Fi films. The First sci-fi that was released was Le Voyage dans la Lune. This short film was released in 1902. In 1930’s to 1950’s many other films came out such as King Kong, and Frankenstein and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Later in the 60’s Planet of the Apes was released. In the 70’s and 80’s The Star Wars films were box office hits that attracted plenty of attention the genre. In the 90’s-2000’s the Terminator films were released and added the aspect of cyborgs to the genre. There is more than just the movie in this genre. Although it may seem too far out all of these films hold a deeper meaning. The point of watching these films is for entertainment but they do dig for a deeper meaning in life and are my favourite genre of film.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rcR7SwR0V4
