Science fiction film is not only a business theme, but also represents the way of thinking of modern human beings. Science fiction film is a way of thinking and the essence of human nature. Human beings are creatures driven by technology, and we are the only creatures with consciousness. In the struggle to understand ourselves, understand the environment and build reality, we use technology to reshape our own behavior and human civilization.
Science fiction films are not only commercial themes, but also represent the way of thinking of modern humans. Science fiction is a way of thinking, and it also shows human nature. Human beings are creatures driven by technology and the only creatures with thinking consciousness. In our quest to understand ourselves, understand our environment, and construct our reality, we use technology to reshape our behavior and our civilization.
Today, all our children see in the cinema are superhero movies with special effects. They don’t need to care about how these spaceships work, or how everything works in them, nor do they need to think about those seemingly interesting and mysterious problems. A good science fiction can expand children’s imagination. It’s no problem to watch some superheroes occasionally for entertainment. But it would not be a good thing if only the brilliant deeds of these superheroes remained in children’s childhood memories of science fiction
Today, all our kids see in theaters are superhero movies with special effects. They don’t need to care about how these spaceships work, or how everything inside works, and they don’t need to think about those seemingly interesting and mysterious puzzles. Good science fiction can expand children’s imagination. It’s okay to watch some superhero works once in a while, but it’s not a good thing if children’s childhood sci-fi memories only have superhero glory.
I received a gift of a telescope when I was about 10 years old. Since then, I have confirmed my fate with science fiction. Later, I was attracted by the theme of “science fiction” for a period. I saw many Ray Harryhausen ( the film special effects master), Star Trek TV series and so on. I watched the film “2001 Space Odyssey” many times. It was it that made me want to be a movie.
When I was about 10 years old, I received a telescope as a gift. Since then, I have forged an indissoluble bond with science fiction. For a while later, I was attracted by the theme of “science fiction”. I watched a lot of Ray Harryhausen (Master of Effects), the Star Trek TV series, and so on. I watched the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” many times. It is it that makes me dream of making movies by myself.
As a parent of five kids, I’m saying, I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC happens when those characters mature and realize that they have a responsibility outside their own survival as the characters in Avatar. I look at these big, Spectacular films, I’m looking at you, Marvel, and DC it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college. They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose. Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.
As the parent of five children, I would say that, like the characters in Avatar, Marvel and DC’s sci-fi movies only really take shape when the characters mature and realize they have responsibilities beyond survival. And from what I’ve seen, these big, big movies, Marvel and DC, the heroes act like college kids no matter how old they are. They appear to connect with people, but they don’t. They never give up what they were originally attached to because of their children. We need those things that really keep us grounded and give us strength, love, and purpose. But Marvel and DC characters don’t go through that, and I don’t think that’s the way a movie should be made.
When shooting “Avatar 2”, I chose the ocean I love. The ocean can produce many stories for human beings. The ocean is still a strange world for us. There are many strange creatures. To create an alien creature we have never seen before.
When shooting “Avatar 2”, I chose my beloved ocean. The ocean can play out many human stories. So far, the ocean is still a relatively strange world to us, containing many strange creatures. In the process of creating a fictional alien creature, we can obviously get more references and inspirations.
As science fiction finally earns mainstream acceptance in Hollywood the genre’s awards drought will soon be over. I predict that sometime in the next five to ten years you will have a science-fiction film win Best Picture.

We now live in a science-fiction world. We live in a world that would have been very hard to predict even 20 or 30 years ago. We are co-evolving with our own technology. We’re on the cutting edge of a big experiment in consciousness and engineering and technology and science fiction is kind of our headlights. It helps us see what’s down the road and the rapidly changing world of tech makes it tough for sci-fi writers now to imagine new things that are not already on the horizon. What we’ve seen is this huge separation from what we imagined the future was going to be and what it’s actually shaping up to be, the rapidly changing world of tech makes it tough for sci-fi writers now to imagine new things that aren’t already on the horizon. There’s this enormous disappointment based on the promise of science fiction in some areas; in other areas our day-to-day science fiction is racing past what the prophets of science fiction were able to predict.
We now live in a science fiction world, a world that was difficult to predict twenty or thirty years ago, and is advancing hand in hand with technology. We are at the forefront of the constant exploration of consciousness, engineering and technology, and science fiction is the searchlight above our heads. It helps us see what’s going to happen in the future, and the rapidly changing technology around the world makes it difficult for science fiction writers to imagine new things that haven’t happened yet. You can see that there is a huge discrepancy between the future we imagine and the future we actually have. In some areas, sci-fi prophecies have brought huge disappointments; in others, our sci-fi-like real world is surpassing the imagination of sci-fi prophets.
