When I was growing up I loved watching TV and Movies. I loved being able to just tune out the problems of your world and for a couple of hours you could be transported to another world and just all of the problems of your world just melted away. I loved almost every genre of movies and TV but one of my favorites was always Sci-Fi, and when you’re thinking of Sci-Fi most people will think of two main series; Star Wars and Star Trek. When I saw that we were writing an essay about comparing and contrasting the first thing that my mind leapt was to compare two of my favorite series growing up. Today I am going to talk about several similarities and differences between two very popular and historic series. The first main difference between …show more content…
Their main similarity is the fact that they are both sci-fi films and they both take place primarily in space but this where the similarities end. The style of both of these movies are very drastic and differ very much. Star Trek has a “Space Cowboy style”. It focuses very much on the action and creating a very thrilling plot that keeps people engaged throughout the entire movie. Star Trek has lots of “shoot ‘em up” scenes and plenty of action. The main philosophical emphasis of Star Trek is exploration and how to morally deal with a new situation. Star Wars is referenced to an epic “Space Opera”. There is a large focus on mythology and world religion. One of the main focal points of the beginning of the series is the big folklore that is the “Force”. This is what binds the universe together and is what gives the main characters in the series their powers. In the beginning of this series there aren’t a lot of people that believe in the “Force” saying that is a silly religion. There is a large part of the movie that spent convincing the main character that the force is real. The main philosophical emphasis of Star Wars is the fight against good and evil and how to distinguish one over the other
The legend of Sam Bass has grown way out of proportion in relation to his actual deeds. A book collector claims that he has over 200 titles that deal with Sam Bass in some way (Carmack 1B). One of Round Rock’s major streets bears his name as do several businesses. Texas history has often referred to him as “Texas’ Beloved Bandit” or “Robin Hood on a Fast Horse” (Centennial Commission). In actual fact, Sam was probably more inept than brave or noble, and he appears to have never realized that robbing trains and banks was anything more than an amusing diversion. For him it was mere sport, the reality that people often were injured, either physically or financially, appears to have never surfaced on his shallow conscience (Smith 34).
Indiana Jones is about a man named Dr. Henry Walton “Indiana” Jones, Jr., an archeologist who goes on many escapades and fights many enemies for valued artifacts. He is mostly known by his iconic look (a bullwhip, a fedora, a satchel, and a leather jacket), his sense of humor, his great knowledge of ancient civilizations and languages, and his deep fear of snakes. Star Wars is a series about jedi (a resemblance of good) and the sith (a resemblance of evil) in a galaxy far away from our own. Jedi are best known by their lightsabers, (green, blue, and purple), their loyalty to other jedi, and their deep wisdom and philosophies. Sith are best known by their lightsabers, (mainly red), their long dynasty of master-apprentice, and their betrayal towards each other’s trust and
each other. Both have strong followings of loyal fans that live and breath these classic
Star Wars is a classic representation of the science fiction genre of the 1970s and 1980s because it has helped to popularize
some of the differences they have is star trek has it’s origin in television and, was only known as a television series. star treks main purpose it to give a fictional depiction of the space exploration and the system of galactic society consisting of multiple planets and species. conflict occasionally occurs. star trek occurs in the relative distant future , with occasional time travel backward and forward. on our “universe” , on earth that shares most of our real history.
Both of these universes have become very popular through movies, television shows, videogames, and books. Star Trek has been around since 1964. It has had twelve movies with another coming out in 2016 and several TV series. Star Wars has been around since 1983 and has only six movies with another coming out later this year. It has three cartoon TV series and several books that continue the story after the sixth movie. Star Wars has had better videogames than Star Trek and always
After I've read both the Star Trek synopsis and chapter 3 of Hasker's textbook "Metaphysics: Constructing a Worldview" it's clear that what is seen of the mind and body issue that was displayed by Picard within the synopsis of Star Trek: The Next Generation was Dualism view. The truth about Maddox is he can be a part of the scientific research the division of Starfleet with orders to dismantle data on the starship enterprise. In the episode, the conflict between Picard and Maddox stems from two different views of what makes a machine a machine and what makes a human a human. The Robot is Picard friend, data is the individual and ought to be able to form choices as a real individual ought to. In my conclusion, I believe that Picard was depicting
Among the many great debates that have passed down through the centuries, there is one that has yet to be given a clear answer or voice; yes, my fellow nerds, I am talking about the great battle of the fandoms. While there are those who think Captain Picard would be no match for Darth Vader, it is finally time to shed some light on the situation; it is time for Star Wars versus Star Trek. I enjoy both universes equally, but I believe that in a fight Star Trek would win against Star Wars.
I am a sap for movies and television shows that involve action and science fiction. This started when I was seven years old when I was shown my first episode of Star Trek, “The Trouble with Tribbles”, which quickly led to me seeing all of Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. These movies have shaped who I am and have instilled in me an instant fondness for anyone who pays homage to any of these selections. J. J. Abrams is becoming an idol for bringing both Star Wars and Star Trek to this century. When I saw this film I was stunned by its beauty and imagination, yet they are not perfect. This leads me to a definite conclusion. Although J. J. Abrams has been in every position around the directing chair whether it be producing,
Star Wars and Star Trek, two movie titles often confused by non-fans because the first word of both titles is ‘Star’. But do not be confused because the two are extremely different in all sorts of ways. One of them is fantasy, the other sci-fi. One is full of creatures and heroes and villains and spaceships and power and darkness, the other filled with humans and aliens who fly ships together in primary colored uniforms. In other words, one is clearly better than the other. If you’re asking yourself which is which, let me make it a bit easier for you. Star Wars is the better of the two. Star Wars is worth more, the Star Wars video games put the Star Trek ones to shame, Star Wars has better film making and better special effects, the Star Wars antagonist (The Empire) is far scarier than any Star Trek villain, and the list goes on. Still don’t agree with me? That’s okay, keep reading and you’ll see how much you are wrong.
First of all, lets discuss the technology between these two great franchises. Star Wars as far greater weaponry than Star Trek. They have lightsabers, laser guns, droids, X-wings and planet destroying canons. Anything you can think of when comes to weapons this universe
Star Trek and Star Wars have similar and different concepts, Throughout the years, two science fiction classics have rivaled each other. Both have strong loyal fans that obsess over these classic stories. Shirts, costumes, sheets, and action figures are only some of the merchandise sold of these two films. Star Wars and Star Trek definitely share some similarities being both science fiction movies. While the similarities are there, especially when many people confuse characters and plot. Differences account for the awesomeness of each movie. If someone were to place a Star Trek and a Star Wars fan in the same room, only one would come out alive(it would be the Star Wars fan). This is because every fan knows that Star Wars and Star Trek are
Extraterrestrial beings, dazzling light shows, and dangerous laser guns are among the many thoughts that go through a person's mind when the genre science fiction is brought up. It seems as if each piece is so different, and so unique. However, many science fiction pieces are extremely similar. The science fiction pieces "Anthem," "Fahrenheit 451," and "The Pedestrian," are similar in the fact that they all encompass an expansion of technology, a new perspective on the well being of society, and each author's purpose for writing the book.
The good thing about films is that we not only have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of different genres, but also compare them and understand their purpose in the world. The Horror genre has used the basic principles throughout time, and as a result, films of this type have not proven to be as timeless as another genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy. At first, these two genres might at times seem similar as they have at several occasions been blended together, but their basic, common theme serves different meanings about humans. I shall compare and contrast these two genres and focus on both classic films and modern films. From the Horror genre perspective I shall discuss Psycho (1960) and The Mist (2007), while in the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre I will examine 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), and Serenity (2005). Although the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre and the Horror Genre share some similarities, the differences lie in their focus on human progress.
