SCI-FI
by Maximilliann | created - 11 Jul 2015 | updated - 20 Feb 2022 | PublicThis list is composed of the 4 major blocks of Science Fiction:
1) TRAVEL IN TIME: with the brilliant adaptations of the novels of Herbert George Welles and their derivatives.
2) DYSTOPIC FUTURES: in fictitious societies, undesirable and frightening but sadly probable, dominated by a Big Brother or robots or androids.
3) SPACE-OPERAS: the action can take place in outer space, inside spaceships or in complexes located on remote planets, here they enter from the sagas of Star Wars, Star Trek, Battelstar Galactica and Stargate to the latest masterpieces that follow the path started for 2001: A space odyssey.
4) ALIENS: Extraterrestrial violent or pleasant, tender or aggressive, visitors or invaders. Galaxies are full of innumerable races, which show that the human race is not the center of the universe.
