i want to open a disscusion here about what Sci Fi is...
since basicly most people consider any movie with involvment of space or future as sci fi but many times a movie that does have one of those isn't much fictional or has any consetraion on science,
i'll give you an examples of what i'm talking about:
Terminator 1-2 were great movies, and it has a complication of times, but both movies are much more focused about the action, i mean, in terminator 2 there's only few parts showing any fictional events and so on and the rest is the that liquid robot chasing arnold and the connors, therefor i consider it more of an action movie.
alien 1 was a sci fi movie since most of the movie it is consentrates on the life of the alien and it's development more than how it kills the entire crew and even then you learn about the alien. although alien 2 was totaly different, they have a mission to screw all the aliens, so they come to that planet and most of the movie is focused how they kick the alien's ass (or the aliens kick theirs) and except some advanced guns and ships it's nothing more than a futuristic action movie.
event horizon, sci fi or horror (or both) i haven't decided yet, so yes it has many fictional parts for example their research of what happend to the old crew and the ship, where it's been and so on, but it has many elements of a horror movie too, all the blood scenes and so on.
Starship Tropers, do i even need to speak? besides the fact that it's a stupid movie in my opinion it's a totally action movie, so yey they find the master bug brain in the end, but except that its just shoting all day long.
and the list continues
so my question: is Sci Fi just a name for a futuristic action movie or is everybody wrong about their definition ?
