Genre Appeal

How, and why, do Science Fiction Films appeal to audiences?

Science Fiction bring something unique to the cinema screen, something imaginative and thought provoking. Each sci-fi film brings different ideas on things most people wouldn't put into consideration. With popular series such as Star Wars and Star Trek it makes people excited for things like space and time travel that could be possible in the future. In movies such as The Hunger Games, it's exciting to see a powerful female protagonist take a stand against evil in a futuristic setting that no one will recognise and be intrigued about- willing to watch more. Normal action films can get repetitive with their fighting scenes but sic-fi films have the power to be more creative and interesting, and leave their audiences with a lot to think about afterwards.

  1. A good answer Katie. Look at the appeal of certain genre conventions and genre cross over with action/ fantasy etc.
