I am sitting up in bed, bleary and getting ready for another day. But am wondering a fundamental question - one that I will have to look at carefully as I review these movies - "Does a successful Sci-fi movie tend to open with an action sequence or science sequence." Ultimately, I'm looking for an idea to combine both in my third stab at an opening sequence This is leading me down a Montage path that I'm not entirely happy about. But it might be right. I've just got to work again on getting further down the path on a couple more plot questions and then start writing writing writing... I'm not quite frustrated yet with my writing, but I'm nearing a point of just having to decide. This isn't terrible, and I think that sitting down with these movies over the weekend with do me no end of good. Let's hope it does just as much for the script.
Does anyone know of a sci-fi film that successfully opens with both science and action?
