3/11/2008 - The sci-fi genre

Aliens, AI and space ships, your probably already thinking in your mind Sci-Fi. This genre, aka science fiction is basicaly in a nutshell as the name suggests, Science that is Fiction. As simple as it may seem people still tend to get confused between which movies are Fantasy and which are Sci-Fi. The difference is that the things that occur within movies of the Fantasy genre are always going to be impossible but the things that occur within movies of the Sci-Fi genre may be impossible in present day but they are done due to scientific  discovery so may be possible in the future. For example we will never be able to shoot fireballs from the palms of our hands without any scientific explanation but we may be able to find other forms of intelligent life somewhere in the galaxy someday. Some famous examples of Sci-Fi films Include The matrix, I am Legend, The Alien series and i-robot.
