What do you 'look for/like in a Sci Fi movie?

For me, I enjoy the 'setting, just that Sci Fi 'aesthetic,

Put the 7 Samurai in space, I might still like it, though original is best.

But mostly just the 'aesthetic changed, like the West version of it. Story is 'mostly the same theme.

I suppose a story becomes more Sci Fi mechanically when it deals with some specific aspect of future technology,

Though I wonder, once we 'reach said level of tech or aesthetic in real life, is the story 'still Sci Fi?

But an example of more mechanically Sci Fi, would be 2001: A Space Odyssey or I Robot,

A focus on the technology, AI.

Or the Alien or Predator movies, what will aliens be like and our interactions?

Though maybe more esoteric interaction movies with aliens are more Sci Fi than horror.

. . . Still, one can imagine various Sci Fi in fantasy, Homunculus and Golems artificial creations of man,

Or when different cultures in history have violently met each other for the first time, confusions in their technologies such as horses or guns. Differences in values.

See message 1290 for three sci-fi and of course ive mentioned here original Blade Runner all  time favorite.  Alien was big competion for it and I chose it over Blade Runner at that time.  Not any more and Im not going to bother ALien Rommulus.

Its all about stimulating nervous system in some or another.  I was watching Goldwyn Mayer Russian movie alledged based on getting through the Nazi blockade to Lennigrad, then primarilyy many young and midde-age women building rail road tracks over  two or more rivers and, learning to operate assist and all apsects of running trains and systems associated with that, to start getting supplies in to the besieged city.

There was some romantic the aspect, however, the main stimulation came to me mostly when they are getting bombed from Nazies on 100's of the trips the made in and out, that sort of thing who will make it or not, what happens in each situation.

Any small state will be swallowed by its neighbours.
