Sci-Fi Movies

Paper Summary:

An examination and comparison of the technological advances and special effects which have enabled directors to retell stories with much more emphasis on the relationship between visuals and characters. The paper looks at how it is also evident that these advances have helped in how well visuals and effects play a part in the overall telling of the story and plot development - focusing on the four science fiction movies above.

From the Paper:

"In the film Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott relied on scenery and character to lend to the imagery of the film, rather than depend heavily on special effects as we have seen more recently in films like The Fifth Element and The Matrix. In Blade Runner, we follow the story of Deckard who must track down five replicants who have hijacked a ship in order to find their roots and discover their maker back on earth.
The scenery within the story plays a heavy part in relaying the emotions of the replicants as the plot takes us through what is comparable to a post-apocalypse city where replicants have no knowledge of their ancestors or history."
