A24 4,347 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Everybody has their own ideas about what is true science fiction. The Martian is about 'the idea' of mankind surviving on another planet.Cheers!Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,347 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Is Interstellar a movie about rooting for characters? Does it require that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBoal 7,538 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Exactly!Why would we root for him? He's gonna try and kill Rust Cohle.Because this film will explain what led him to become the mann he is in Interstellar. It will give us a better understanding of the character. And if we can understand his motivations, then we can root for him.In the end, we'll realize that Interstellar was always about the tragedy of Dr. Mann.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeah but is it real sci-fi?Looks like just another version of Apollo 13 or Gravity. A survival film set in space rather then a science fiction film set in space.That's essentially what Europa Report is as well, which is "real sci-fi".

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Gravity is still science fiction. It never happened and could never happen. Fiction. It uses technical ideas and issues to advance and resolve the plot. Science. The debris moving faster than Sandra Bullock in the same orbit makes it fantasy.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Mission to Mars was the last science fiction movie and it rocked. Europa Report was terribly disapponting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I thought Mission to Mars was downright awful but that's just me. Having said that I think RT and MetaCritic probably agree, not that I give a fuck.Even Morricone turned in a guffaw inducing stinker for that one.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I suppose I only consider it science fiction (rather than something like speculative fiction) when aliens become involved. Not saying that makes any sense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I don't see what's so difficult about it. "Works of fiction that use scientific discoveries or advanced technology - either actual or imaginary - as part of their plot."Straightforward enough.
