Type of SF
 

Looking at a lot of the new SF movies and books out, I was kinda wondering which you prefered, the blow it up, kill em all, space warfare variety, or the more speculative HG Wells/ Clarke (for lack of a better explanation) variety?

Re: Type of SF
 

Yeah, I like the psychological/speculative type.

I like a pleasent combonation of both.

Re: Type of SF
 

I like a speculative film with stuff blowing up in the background.

I prefer the more realistic science fiction. The people who would go through the care to make their sci-fi realistic also usually go through the care to make it good and meaningful as well.

Well I gotta go with the blow'em up sci-fi. Although I do like the other stuff sometimes. Of course, star wars is somewhere in the middle there.

Re: Type of SF
 

Well, its really hard to classify Star Wars as science fiction...the classic trilogy anyway. Its more of a fantasy with lasers than sci-fi.

I must agree with Ginky. Realistic scifi is an oxymoron, but some people can still manage to pull it off. And when they do, it's spectacular.
