Science fiction: visions of the future.

Science fiction or better known now as sci-fi, has achive a tremendous height in the film industry. Film makers has been making fantacies, amusements and fears to film watchers. For example, a norm would never experience life in Matrix. Sci-fi had brings wonders and imagination to human's life.

Those-were-the-days Sci-fi films are very influential to today's sci-fi films. Most of the ideas are quite similar from the past but because of what we have now, called technology, it brings human to a higer level of imagination.

Comparison of Jurassic Park (1993) & Godzilla (1954) setting designs





Jurassic Park (vs) Godzilla

Godzilla is one of the early "giant monster" movies produced in Japan back then. Whereas, Jurassic Park is a modern or futuristic "giant monster" movie. Both settings were generally the same, where it is mostly set in the jungle.

The Godzilla itself is less detail and neat looking compare to the dinosours in Jurassic Park. The movement of the of the Godzilla is not as lifely as the dinosours in Jurassic Park. Where the dinosours move smoothly. A huge difference that can be seen because of the advance of technology.

Technology had bring sci-fi movies to the extend where movie watchers are able to enjoy and feel the trauma which was set in the movie itself to its audiences. The movie itself has its own life, which would lighten up its audience's life.

In conclusion, sci-fi is borderless, it is all up to the creativity of the creator's mind and it will be never ending. Better technology will encourage creator's mind to go as wild as possible.
