Any unexplored genre in Films? (Science Fiction)

[soulslicer]

Are there any? What I mean is, in terms of Science Fiction, is there any unexplored part of science in Movies? From what I know, almost every single aspect of science has been explored, everything from Cloning, to Trans-Dimensional Universes all the way to "Destruction of Earth" Scenarios.

Is there any aspect of science you would wish future Science Fiction Movies to explore?

 

[Narvi]

Yes. Actual science.

Oooooh... burn!

*rimshot*

A proper Lovecraftian show would be awesome. The closest we ever got was Event Horizon.

Yeah real science would sure make for a great movie:

"Using a pestle and mortar, Jane ground the specimen into a fine dust and mixed it into a solvent solution to place within the centrifuge. She then repeated the process 500 times. When she finished, she used a statistical analysis package to correlate significant rises in the enzyme, B-Caltase with the temperature of specimen growth. After several months, she co-authored a paper to published in a small obscure journal after making several editorial corrections."

Science is just riveting stuff!

A planetary invasion film where the protagonists are the aliens and the invaders are futuristic humans in exoskeletons, space cruisers and dropships.

Did I mention the aliens vaugely resemble the Asari from Mass Effect?
And that there will hawt graphic secks between Asari and human defectors?

Oh yesh, you are going to get it, Fox News. You want a sci-fi sex sim to raep the brains of your impressionable children? You'll get a sex sim that does just that! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

So... beautiful... *wipes tear from eye*

I imagine that the conclusion involved... peer review. :imu:

Futurama did it first. Except without the exoskeletons.

Plagiarist! :bonce:

 

[Sulkdodds]

I thought of that idea ten years ago.

Ever seen A Beautiful Mind? Mathslol.

1. A world in which everyone is personally connected through brain implants. Through much of it, its hard to tell what is being simulated and what is real.

2. The plot to my novel, Lucid. Psychologists read the minds of dreamers into a neural network, and are able to communicate to them during lucid dreams. The dreamers are eventually networked together and compete to control each other's dreams.

3. A terrible disease, much like the black plauge, strikes America. Civilization struggles vainly to save itself. The plot follows one man as he runs about the country, trying not to get infected by the deadly disease as the world falls apart around him.

4. A movie following the plights of a group of people on a generation ship, bound for an earth-like planet. The plot begins near the end of the journey, when the ship has formed its own distinct culture, along with two hostile factions which control different portions of the ship. When they arrive at the planet, they find that it has already been colonized by several much faster ships from Earth while the generation ship was underway.

5. A man falls in love with an artificially intelligent automobile navigation system.

6. Space tourists live in a space hotel as the world below them suddenly erupts into nuclear war. The movie involves psychological tension between the crew members as they watch the planet become enveloped in nuclear winter and they slowly suffocate as their oxygen runs out.

7. A computer scientist at a university unlocks the key to true artificial intelligence and is dismayed as the machine he created slowly becomes smarter than he is, and eventually sets off the technological singularity.

8. Humanity begins to colonize another world and finds it inhabited by aliens possessing victorian era technology.

9. In a world where anyone can change themselves into another person using simple drugs and procedures over a matter of a few days, one man struggles to find his own identity.

 

[Narvi]

1) Ghost In The Shell.

2) Eh.

3) Hundreds of zombie movies. The plot of I Am Legend.

4) Heeheeheee.

5) AI love was done by Asimov. But yeah, no movies.

6) Cool.

7) This sounds so familiar...

8) Yup.

9) Yup.

I approve of the above.

You have some awesome ideas!

Starship troopers?? (well at least the novel is more true to your vision)

There's a difference between the mundane task of writing a novel and the simple pleasures of reading it without any prior knowledge of its contents. In other words you don't have to be an 'author' of scientific work in order to love the innovations science can provide.

Also speaking of real science as a basis for making a movie has anyone heard of Interstellar?

in terms of Science Fiction, is there any unexplored part of science in Movies?

Relativity. Something like time dilation, I think, has story potential but relativity is rarely mentioned in sci-fi except to explain why it is ignored.

The only film I can think of is the original Planet of the Apes where it is mentioned and used properly at the start.

Weirdly enough, I had a very similar dream to this. It was a hotel under the sea, though, and I was there with my gf and various celebs. Before the tv cut out we watched as sections of the globe 'went red' and were trying to work out whether our families had been killed. It was very eery. Near the end I got into a little submarine with the gf and went to the surface and all these ****ed up people with grosse skin falling off were trying to hug us and saying things like the 'saviours have come'. It was Isreal that started the nuking.
