Everyone has their favorite vision of the future. Some of us might imagine it like Back to the Future, where everything looks pretty much the same except we have rad stuff like hoverboards and futuristic-looking glasses. Some of us might take a bleaker approach in the vein of Wall-E, imagining everyone to be totally consumed …

I have a theory that we love sci-fi so much because we love learning the rules of someone else’s culture. It’s the same reason that traveling is interesting. You get to set aside your own customs and habits for a while and get to know someone else’s. What do they drink in the morning? What …

If an alien came to Earth and told you you could board his space craft and return with him to his own planet, would you? Would you go just to see what it was like? Or would you politely decline and hope he doesn’t retaliate with his powerful laser? I could go either way, it would probably …

Science fiction ain’t for the weak. If you prefer your movies set in a realm closer to Earth, I hear you, but I don’t envy you. Because it’s so much more fun to get swept away to another galaxy than it is to spend more precious time on the Earth that we’re always on.  When you sign …

Halloween and science fiction is a match made in heaven. Halloween is all about transformation– taking ordinary things and making them seem mystical or supernatural. A pumpkin becomes a Jack O Lantern, a human becomes a skeleton, and a dog becomes a pumpkin. Science fiction is all about making the impossible seem possible. A Delorean …

The promise of sci-fi is that there is a possibility of a different kind of world. We wrestle with the unshakable feeling that things might stay the same forever. We will be the same people with the same problems in the same kind of messed-up world until we cease to exist. Sci-fi shows us another way. It …

A thing about sci-fi that I love is how much it can range in subject matter. You want a sci-fi movie about an alien invasion? Knock yourself out. You want a sci-fi movie about a fleet of robots who conspire to kill all humans? Gotcha. You want a sci-fi movie about a young boy in the 1980s …

One of my favorite sci-fi tropes is alternate universes. Okay, it might be more than a trope. It might be real if certain astrophysicists are to be believed. But I love to see it represented in movies and TV because the concept is so endlessly interesting and also hard to wrap your head around. You …

I love a funny sci-fi movie. The Coneheads? Count me in. Palm Springs? Way ahead of you buddy. Weird Science? Don’t play with me like that. We don’t necessarily think of sci-fi as being funny since the high-flying adventure movies with big themes immediately come to mind, but who says you have to be humorless if you have lasers …

One of my favorite works of science fiction is Back to the Future, and its various sequels. It may not immediately spring to mind when you think of science fiction, but it certainly ticks all the boxes. There’s a kooky invention that defies the current laws of the universe, there is a mad scientist, and all sorts of …
