We’re back for part 2. Still finding the genre for my film opening. For this post I’ll be focusing on the science fiction action genre, or sci-fi action for short. Sci-fi action mixes the classic science fiction with some fast-paced action. Similar to spy films there’s so much combat, so many chases, and battles. It focuses on conflict and adds physical danger to futuristic or dystopian societies. My personal favorite sci-fi franchise, Star Wars, generally utilizes a lot of conflict and futuristic combat with lightsabers. There’s a multitude of intense combat scenes and large-scale battles mostly generated using green screens and special effects. Star Wars: Return of the Sith ends with this intense battle between Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi in which they fight amongst lava with their lightsabers until Anakin is practically limbless and scorched.

These films aim to relish in real world fears about what the future may hold or to simply express a story a writer imagines. These films tend to be incredibly suspenseful and entertaining to audiences and most popular sci-fi action films turn into large franchises, such as the Hunger Games franchise that is still ongoing with a new movie releasing later in the year.
