The world of sci-fi encompasses a variety of different themes and these themes change with each passing year. In the early days of sci-fi, writers and filmmakers focused on the idea of flying cars, robots capable of thought, and a general belief that the future held a utopia. In later years the concept of sci-fi turned darker. The robots took over the world, people turned to cannibalism, and the real evil seemed to be the men who made the new technologies.

It�s even led to movies that look more realistic thanks to the abilities of computer generated imagery. Comparing the sci-fi world as it once looked to how it looks today shows that it will only continue to grow and advance in the future.
