based on individual ideas. I find Mad max to be sci fi, because they do use all the technologies they have available to them in this futuristic fictitious world. Some could call it action and adventure, some may even call it fantasy.

In the Time After Time, for example, The machine to propell them through time, was created in the past, with material from the past,
but the film primarily centers on the past and present, no futuristic technologies, aside from the fictitious time machine itself.

So I agree, there is a high level of subjectivity in the categorizing of sci-fi films.
