Science fiction is everything to all people, the genre covers an ever increasing circle and while some science fiction is great to some fans, it can turn out to be rubbish to others.
This wide ranging genre has thrown up some interesting pieces such as Battlefield Earth, made in 2000 and starring John Travolta.
While some science fiction fan thought the film was not too bad, over the past ten years the film has managed to collect some awards that producers and directors would like to forget, including the most recent being the Worst Picture of the Decade.
This has prompted the screen writer, J D Shapiro to publicly apologise for the film, apparently, the finished product did not turn out how he expected it to turn out, and well you can’t have everything!
