A LOOK TO BEYOND: Fathers of Science Fiction and imagining Time Machines [Intro Review]

I have been a fan of science fiction stories and films -  even classics. I was always fascinated by the great imaginations of writers who created our beloved fantasies. I've watched countless of them. Since the post- victorian era, science fiction writers like H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback emerge. These three were considered as the fathers of science fiction.

The most popular of all are the works of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. Jules Verne wrote the stories Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea presenting Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautillus, Around The World in Eighty Days presenting the adventures of Inventor Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout and also From The Earth To The Moon.

H.G. Wells wrote The War of The Worlds and The Island of Dr. Moreau but the story which speculated science for more than a century (even Einstein supported it with his theories )or even before he even made it, people may have started questioning about it. His most famous work which was considered as the Holy Grail of Science Fiction -  The Time Machine. It was turned into film in 1950's and remade in 2002.


All became much livelier started in the works and collaborations of Steven Spielberg. he is one of the finest directors and producers in the history motion picture. He had a great deal of problems in creating a picture of our beloved written fantasy sci-fi stories but he still made it.

He made countless science fiction film which also created a cult-following. he was famous for imagining into a film the novel of Crichton, Jurassic Park. He also created the greatest and friendliest alien, The ExtraTerrestrial. He also helped creating one of the greatest adventurers next to Alan Quatermaine, The Raider of The Lost Ark, Prof. of Archaelogy, Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr.

               

The greatest trilogy ever made (in my opinion) is Back To The Future directed by Robert Zemeckis. It is about an 80's teenager named Marty Mcfly being dragged back to 1950's by a time machine in a car version created by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Emmett Brown and ruining how his parents meet thus endangering his very existence.

It continued to part 2, with him travelling, this time, to the future to save his son in a conundrun of chaos. A common enemy knew his secret of being a time traveller and thus creating another problem and this time, the world really did changed and history has been totally altered. His father is dead, his mother wed Biff (the common enemy since the beginning) and everything else are wrong. Doc and Marty needs to find out where (actually, the question should be when) did history change and prevent it from ever happening. Confusing but totally entertaining.


This film prophesied a lot about what things will be present in the future. it even introduced new gadgets, especially, the Hover Board and the power-lacing shoes. Even the delorean had an add-on - hover conversion. It cannot just travel through time but also fly and soar to the sky.

After the events of part 2, Doc was dragged back to 1880's, the Wild West, due to a lightning striking the time machine and creating an overload in energy. Marty doesn't want to leave a friend behind thus seeking help to Doc (of 1955) to get the Doc (of 1985) back to their proper place and proper time. This time, Doc does not want to go back because he fell in love and, of course, this changes a lot in the course of history but it's alright. Everything is fun. Everything is iconic. A Gun. A Horse. A duel. A train and another train turned time machine that can also fly. What more could you ask for? There is actually more to it so I recommend to just watch it.
