Sci-fi movies leave me empty. Isn't the real world dramatic enough? | Prove me wrong

Science fiction is just a bunch of loud noises, special effects and unbelievable plotlines, argues Alison Rourke. Shelley Hepworth tries to prove her wrong

Alison: Shelley, I think sci-fi movies are a waste of time. If I'm going to spend a couple of hours watching something, I want the characters, and how they relate to each other, to be the hero of the story. When I watch sci-fi, it seems like the machines, the special effects and the fantasy are the main point of the film. I know for some people that's about escapism, but how can it provide an escape if what's on screen is fundamentally unattainable in real life?

Sorry, but it just leaves me empty. Prove me wrong, Shelley.
