Topics and Subtopics of Science Fiction Genre

Science fiction genre is a perfect treasure trove for explorers of science fiction movies. It covers such a broad range of titillating ideas that it makes my mouth water just to think of all those themes and sub-genres waiting to be closely examined.


As you know, we mentioned a few major themes when we played with definition of science fiction movies and that was just a tip of the iceberg.

Equilibrium Movie

Below is a more detailed list of topics and subtopics and as we dig deeper there is bound to be a few more to add. If you find a topic gem that is missing from the list send it our way and we will be more than happy to include it.

Science fiction movies usually combine two or more grand ideas - some you will find on our list. They create spellbinding worlds which have the power to stick in our minds long after we saw the movie. It is always fun to uncover the hidden layers of meaning, to track down the intricate patterns science fiction movies make as they move against the vast canvass of imagination.

As we go on exploring science fiction worlds often take a life of their own. New ideas spring to mind and off we go riding another wave of inspiration! That's what makes this genre so thought-provoking and so unique.

SF Movie
WANTED

Did you see this movie?

Our visitor Margie is looking for a movie she saw as a kid. Here is her description:

"I am trying to find a TV movie I saw in 1963 -- was a late 50's or very early 60's sci-fi in which Madagascar fish protoplasm is brought to the U.S., escapes and becomes a huge blob that strangles people (and maybe eats them). This is not 'The Blob' with Steve McQueen. Could be Twilight Zone or Outer Limits?"

If you know the name of this SF movie or any information about it, please send us a message via this link.

Thank you!
