Sorry I’ve been a bit rude here trying to convey a point of keeping an open mind towards film. A lot of sci fi is actually using a sci fi premise to convey something else, often a dramatic theme, something very human. It’s used often in allegory. I think perhaps you view sci fi in popcorn terms, as the more big budget stuff which is like pulp entertainment. I find it’s a genre which is impossible to approach in a narrow minded fashion. But I thought about my comment and I thought “I don’t like chic flicks, but I’ve only seen a few and haven’t bothered exploring them further.” So in this sense I am a hypocrite. Of course we use what little we’ve seen as examples on a larger scale. So my apologies.
IIN that I hate fantasy or Sci-Fi movies?
