In Reply to: Technologies must fit the circumstance.... posted by Mrs. Piggy on October 28, 2002 at 19:27:31:
It's probably an academic argument, but Planet of the Apes actually involved two things that were not and still are not scientifically possible--time travel and apes evolving within a few thousand years to have essentially human intelligence. Personally, I would not consider every story of alternate universe or reality to be SF (Fatherland, for example), but I do find such tales extremely interesting.Todd
Follow Ups:
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.
