About This Quiz
What we all know about science fiction is that it dabbles in ideas that are not usually accepted by normal or mainstream science and contrary to popular belief, isn't a new concept. In fact, the first sci-fi movie was filmed over 100 years ago. The genre saw a major change with the Star Wars series in the late '70s and was soon one of the most popular film genres in the world.ÂÂ
While many sci-fi movies are released each year, only a few can be called classics. They either needed to have garnered a fan following, sometimes huge enough to be called a cult, or are still being talked about today. Whichever the case is, these sci-fi movies are some of the best the world has ever seen, either for its graphics, characters, script or ground-breaking technology.ÂÂ
But not many people were huge sci-fi fans from the start. Most people have only just started watching the genre, and thus won't be able to name the classics only true fans know. Come prove to us that you're not a sci-fi newbie by acing this sci-fi movie classic quiz. Come show us that you deserve to be called a fan of this amazing movie genre, right here, right now!
