Science Fiction Genre

The genre of science fiction has been around alot longer than you would expect, way back to the 1900's films were being produced that showed what the director believed was futurisic at that time.
And nowadays the genre is growing increasingly more popular, reaching new levels and showing so many different ideas within sci-fi.
In the beggining sci-fi was consided to just be about things like robots, flying cars, space and aliens etc. These things are still true today, but now there is a much broader spectrum of what science fiction can be.
And with the ever advancing world of tehnology, incredble things are becoming more possible, new worlds and stories for the audience to get lost in and be a part of.
Sci-fi is a genre thats usually one that guys seem to be more interested in, but the good thing is that over time the opposite sex have been able to relate more to this genre, and it has almost become something that doesnt have a specific audience.
James Camerons epic AVATAR is a good example of this. Its a sci-fi and a fantasy, and one that combines alot of original ideas and new elements, and shows what you can do with sci-fi when you think outside the box.
I could list all of my favourite sci-fi films but really there are so many that the list would be too long and not really relevant much.
