To Infinity and Beyond

The Science Fiction Genre

This lecture focused on classic sci-fi films such as 'The Thing' and 'Metropolis' as films that have captivated audiences and inspired films and other media.


After the seminar I just had to watch 'The Thing' and can say that it's quickly moved into my favourite top 20 sci-fi films as it combined great horror (with authentic effects that were truly disgusting - props to the special effects team) and fantastic storytelling of an alien that crash lands on earth and begins to present itself as a human on multiple occasions until the crew succumb to paranoia.

Metropolis also seems like a film that is worth watching if only to see the 'original sci-fi film' in action.
