I understand Science Fiction!

At first, when people ask me, what are the Science Fiction movies? I just think of Star Wars, Aliens, etc. I didn't know that Science Fiction could be big and interesting. 

During the first day of my Science Fiction class, I'm not actually sure of what Science Fiction when I came inside the room. But at the end of the class, I knew that Fantasy and Science Fiction is somehow different. I sometimes thought Fantasy is just like Science Fiction. It was very cool understanding Science Fiction.

Now, what is Science Fiction??

Is it about what's going to happen on the future?

Is it about robots??


Is it about aliens??

"SciFi reflects scientific thought, a fiction of things-to-come based on things-on-hand."

From what I have understood in our lecture about SciFi, SciFi is:
  • nature of changes that face us
  • includes the cyborgs
  • draw on scientific methods and fact
  • sometimes leads to anxiety and fear to the things on the future

  Now, here is my shortlist for good Science Fiction movies and weak Science Fiction movies. :)
     

Good Science Fiction movies:

First movie: X-men 
 For me, X-men is a great Science Fiction action movie. It introduced lots of new superheroes when it was released. The movie even got an all time favorite character, Wolverine. I think because of the cool features and unexpected routines. It was a great movie.


Second movie: Iron man 2
 
Iron Man 2 is one of my favorites. I like it because for the new awesome things they use there. Most especially the hologram computer. It is one of the bests. It somehow shows the things on the future (like gadgets, cars, etc.).


Third movie: Captain America
I can hardly remember it because it was a long time ago but then, I could still remember it. It was so nice. It was very well directed according to its comic book. That is the good thing on this movie.

Weak Science Fiction movies:

First movie: Superman
Well for me, some superhero movies were fail or weak science fiction movies. It was a great movie and a very "gwapo" actor, but then when in terms of Science Fiction, it's just not it. 

Second movie: Batman
As we all know, Batman is not a real superhero. He does not have powers. He doesn't have this machine part of a body nor a different DNA. So, it was quite impossible for him to be a very good superhero when all he has is good gadgets and a very nice car. :)

Third movie: The Hulk
The Hulk is a great movie but it was really not that realistic or it's very hard to have an interest in because it is full of fantasies. It is very impossible to get a very very high blood pressure and which would turn out to be a very big and muscular creature. It's not that nice in relation to SciFi. 


So there, thank you for reading my reviews. 
I hope it somehow helped you. :D
