Definition Of Science Fiction
1,070 wordsThe first example of science fiction I'd like to take a look at is Alien. A prime example of straightforward science fiction would be this movie.

A distress / warning beacon on an unfamiliar planet caused their ship to awaken them so that help could be dispatched. Of course, it turns out to be a ship that was taken over by the Aliens and the Earthlings's hip ...

What could have gone wrong? Lets start with the script. It combines every possible sci-fi cliche (look for these movies as they appear in M 2 M: 2001 and 2010 in a big way, Dune, The Abyss, Apollo 13, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, to name only a few) in a melodramatic, hokey script.

Its a shame though, because the suspense mounts and yet it doesnt get as high as we would like it to. However, if you are capable of forgetting the fact of who goes, you can thoroughly enjoy the suspense-filled moments. On the other hand, Contact is not a film about suspense. It is about characters and a story that draws us in and takes us for a ride up to a very satisfying conclu...
