What about something like Gattaca? Where everything about it is futuristic and hinges on fictional science stuff.

gattaca is a good case for exception to the rule. i think that movie exists to speculate and warn of where we could be headed, above anything else.

It takes the time travel nerdery of BTTF and Bill and Ted up a notch.

time travel is fantasy. it's dressed up magic. harry potter gets pretty wordy with it's rules and explanations too.

Harry Potter is fucking bullshit is what it is. Riddle me this, they can conjure up all these cool potions and spells, someone shapeshifts into a beast, fly, all kinds of stuff. How come Harry the Hero is the only fucking kid in Hogwarts with glasses? No one in the land can conjure up some decent fucking eyesight for that poor schmuck? Do you realize how much of a liability it is to have to carry around glasses all the time? Especially in battle? Voldemort rocks your shit, but you can't cast any spell back because he kicked your specs right into the dirt so you might turn Hermione into a pterodactyl on accident or summat. #1 bullshit, that show.

Time Travel is sci-fi. The Time Machine movie is a good example.

Let's take this convo in a different direction, What is your problem with Science Fiction?

i love the aesthetic. many of my favorite movies and my favorite tv show are given that label.

[Slaughterhouserock]

A purely sci-fi film is a rarity. It's almost always paired with another genre, mostly action, drama, and horror. As a trekkie, I object to Star Trek being labeled as strictly sci-fi. Sci-fi is the base, but it's always mixed with other genres.

Time travel is absolutely sci-fi. It is literally fictional science.

Easily explained: wizards are dumb. Think about it. They go to wizarding school for seven years, but there's not a single fucking class that teaches you anything beyond "here's how to cast this spell" or "here's how to make this potion". I'd be surprised if any of them could do basic math. And I'm saying this as a fan of the Potter books/films.

it is fictional science when it's explained that way, yeah. this isn't about denying that science exists in fiction, or that it shouldn't exist. but fair enough.

[Jason]

i don't consider science fiction to actually be a genre of it's own, as far as film goes. change my mind?

What's something like Blade Runner then? Too damn boring to be action or suspense.

boring does not remove something from a genre. but i think it's a mix of drama, mystery and suspense.

This is exactly why I alphabetize my collection and don't organize by genre.

Sounds like your basic universities imo. Glad I avoided wizard school

I agree with this but at it's core it's Sci-Fi.

What is your opinion of the newer Trek series?

separate horror from your other genres. this is an order.

Which series? Picard is hit or miss and the last season was mostly for fans to get their nostalgia fix, but I love TNG, so I can't complain. Lower Decks is hilarious. Strange New Worlds is great. Haven't watched Discovery or Prodigy yet.

if you consider them not to be horror, lump them in your assorted genre section.
