duder Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 OK, I have to admit to being a film geek, but I have very little knowledge on Sci-fi films, I'm more of a crime, noir fan. So I figure that I can be educated on the subject by some fanatics. *Important* Star Wars is not sci-fi, its a fantasy adventure! So I'm gonna start by bringing up a decent film I've seen a few times called demon seed. Now this film is one hell of a sci-fi flick. Who has seen it? What did you think. I'm too lazy to write a synopsis, so you can look for it yourself on a search engine!!! The ending to this film sends shivers down my spine, just even thinking about it.

Rogue15 Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 star wars is both fantasy and sci fi, so it's 'Sci Fi Fantasy' or Space Opera. i think that's how george lucas put it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted January 28, 2002 Author Share Posted January 28, 2002 Star wars touches slightly on some typical sci-fi themes, but not really enough to warrant being called sci-fi. Being set in space dosnt make it sci-fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 ya, i realized that. It's not about any 'scientific experiments' or scientific discovery, sure the death star was a scientific experiment, well..not really, more like military...i can see why u'd call it fantasy instead of sci fi though. Cause usually sci fi has to do with the human race, and have the planet earth in it, or at least people FROM earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
