For generations, science fiction stories have used mankind’s inclination towards innovation to tell stories of all stripes - from the inspiring to the terrifying. This extends to the big screen, too.
Since the release of Georges Méliès’ 1902 picture A Trip to the Moon, science fiction has been a stalwart genre that enables filmmakers to experiment in their stagecraft and to enlighten (and entertain) millions of audiences. It’s in these movies that some of the greatest fictional characters ever imagined appear, feeling simultaneously fresh and familiar.
