Welcome to Sci-Fi Science Themes Page

Any fan of science fiction will tell you that there are always common themes between different science fiction films or television shows. For example, there are usually aliens, spaceships with shields and faster than light hyperdrives and teleportation devices. Occasionally references are made to the power sources and as we have nothing even remotely powerful enough to power a starship it's usually shown as crystals (which do carry an energy). I guess one of the most interesting science fiction themes has to be time travel and we've gone into some depth on that subject.

It's not just the physical aspects that show common themes across science fiction. We believe there is a formula for successful science fiction which isn't necessarily the plot. Our theory is that what you really need to get it right are three things (1) a really good baddie that the audience would love to hate, (2) a really good hero that guys can aspire to be and finally (3) a very sexy girl. To test this theory we have put together a short survey and the results are pretty interesting.
