THE CINEMATOGRAPHY AND SCIENCE FICTION OF TIME TRAVEL

Summary/Abstract: Science fiction is a narrative genre, mainly from literary origins such as literature and comics, but also cinematography and video games. As its name suggests, it consists of telling a fiction based on scientific and technical progress obtained in a more or less distant future and sometimes about a fictional past or in a parallel universe. It can also be about physically impossible progress, at least in the current state of knowledge and science on planet Earth. It thus implements the themes that have become classics of time travel, interplanetary or interstellar travel, space colonization, encounters with aliens, the confrontation between the human species and its creations, including robots and clones, or a planetary apocalyptic disaster. The plot of science fiction stories can take place on Earth, known as utopias, dystopias, counter-utopias, in space, that is, in spaceships, exoplanets, space operas, or combined on earth and in space. From the first science fiction film From the appearance of the first naive trick films with elements of science fiction "Le voyage dans la Lune, 1902" by George Méliès, then "Time Machine"(1960) inspired by H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, to the record-breaking film with eleven nominations and seven Academy Awards in 2023 Everything Everywhere All At Once inspired by the multiverse, the science fiction film has evolved significantly. Travels through time in the past and future, and through space in parallel universes, have grown into the most attractive themes of film production.
