- Setting
- The key word for science fiction is displacement; we are removed
from our familiar, contemporary society and placed in a realm
with markedly different rules. A common misconception with
Science Fiction is that it must be set in the future. The genre,
however, can also deal with scientific or technological themes in a
contemporary setting.

- Style
- There is often an emphasis on awe-inspiring spectacle,
with special effects sequences recreating voyages
through outer space, contact with aliens, or
remarkable machines.

- Narrative
- A central concern common to science fiction narratives is the
contentious relationship between technology and society. This
struggle often expresses itself as a narrative of good vs evil. In
post-apocalyptic Science Fiction films, such as Mad Max; the
effort to rebuild civilisation is contested by opposing factions,
each representing differing and morally contrasting attitudes
to technology and knowledge

- Characters
- Contains an array of outlandish character types including
robots, cyborgs, mad scientists, monsters, extra-terrestrials
and alien life forms. Threw are obvious generic links here with
horror and fantasy. These are cross-genre characters, such as
the hero, the female romance interest and the villain, which
hark back to folk stories, mythology or earlier non-science film
forms.
