Research into the specific Genre (Sci-Fi)

General Storyline's for Sci-Fi films:

In Sci-Fi there are a number of different storyline's that can be used. A typical storyline that can be used is the storyline from "Mars Attacks: A fleet of Martian spacecraft surrounds the world's major cities and all of humanity waits to see of the extraterrestrial visitors have, as they claim, "come in peace." U.S. President James dale (Jack Nicholson) receives assurance from science professor Donald Kessler (Pierce Brosnan) that the Martians' mission is a friendly one. But when a peaceful exchange ends in the total annihilation of the U.S. Congress, military men call for a full-scale nuclear retaliation.



Reviews:
Mars Attacks! Drew mixed responses from critics. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "Mars Attacks" is a;; 1990s cynicism and disbelief, mocking the conventions that Independence Day takes seriously. This all sounds clever enough but in truth, Mars Attacks is not as much fun as it should be. Few of its numerous actors make a lasting impression and Burton's heart and soul is not in humour.
