However, if you and your movie date are
both sci-fi fans, the dilemma doesn't end there. Though my wife is a
big fan of sci-fi, she once said, “There's nothing better than good
sci-fi, but nothing worse than bad sci-fi!” There are over 36
categories of science fiction, and these subgenres might further
divide those that would consider themselves sci-fi fans. Some
subgenres are even somewhat mutually exclusive of each-other. For
instance, space operas involve concepts such as faster-than-light
travel, starship dogfights, and aliens, while another sci-fi genre
known as “hard sci-fi” has fans that absolutely detest any
science fiction that isn't based on current scientific facts. Then
there are more niche subgenres of sci-fi such as steampunk, space
Westerns, cyberpunk, nano-punk, slipstream, and pulp sci-fi. Not to
mention some more popular genres such as alien or robot invasion,
superhero, post-apocalyptic, time travel, and even zombie sci-fi.
With all of these choices making it difficult to navigate
preferences, maybe it's best just sticking with a comedy film for the
evening?
