  1. I think you should apologize to Cjohn. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/science%20fiction Definition of SCIENCE FICTION

    : fiction dealing principally with the impact of actual or imagined science on society or individuals or having a scientific factor as an essential orienting component

     

     

    No. He keeps harping on "you feature space travel, you are sci-fi" nonsense. By that definition, we are living the sci-fi dream RIGHT NOW.

     

    Btw, Gravity is not about science. Space just happens to be the setting.

  2. I love all of this, but Gravity is sci-fi because by definition, everything that has space travel is sci-fi. I will just leave this thread now. I will come back after seeing the movie on October.

     

    THIS IS MADNESS!!!

     

    Seriously, how can someone be so dense...

     

    Sci-fi is real!!! We have astronauts after all... *lol*

  3. Apollo 13 can't be sci-fi because it's a retelling of a historical event. There's no actual fiction beyond liberties taken with the characters.

     

    Those liberties taken makes it fiction. It is based on a historical event but it's still fiction. And it's irrelevant anyway because sci-fi is not defined by whether the story is fictional. Gravity is not sci-fi because the setting is real, the technology is real. If Gravity would have taken place in deep space and they would have used technology that isn't available today, that would have made it sci-fi.

  4. From Wikipedia:

     

    Science fiction is a genre of fiction dealing with imaginative content such as futuristic settings, futuristic science and technology, space travel, parallel universes, extraterrestrial life, and paranormal abilities.

     

    Gravity is sci-fi.

     

     

    OMG! Space travel as in faster than light travel to different systems and such. Just because you actually travel a tiny bit amount through space in order to get to the ISS doesn't make that sci-fi *lol*.
