Comment How about a defintion? (Score 1) 1190
A lot of stuff i read here didn't truly stress the difference between sci-fi and other styles of story-telling.
It's interesting to see that what got our attention and inspired us dreams as children in such reknowned titles such as starwars, star trek, or even in babylone and farscape: a strong *hypothesis* for our future... Those hypothesis raise a lot of sociological issues, which are all about our evolution as a group, as a species, as workers and as male or female. Those issue are emotionally relevant to us, simply because its in the definition. The author HAD to put the most powerful stuff describing his *reality* in, because that's what relevant in sci-fi...
My personnal taste, however, also dictates that a great sci-fi movie be very rich in photography detail.
