The Difference Between Star Trek And Star Wars

Science fiction is broadly defined as a film about the future or alternate realities, often but not always set in space, and frequently incorporating horror elements, science-fiction movies are wildly popular among fans (Goodykoontz, 2014). As a subgenre of fantasy, science fiction enables viewers to relate to themes from an idealized alternative version of reality (Edwards, 2014). Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is a feature-length film that fits this genre perfectly. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope unfolds as princess named Leia is held hostage by the evil Imperial forces in their effort to quell the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Luke Skywalker and a smuggler named Han Solo team together with the lovable droid duo, R2-D2 and C-3PO, to rescue the beautiful princess and restore justice in the galaxy.

For this paper I will be comparing Avatar (2009) and Dancing with Wolves (1990) which are two very acclaimed movies that in a sense are very similar to each other but at the same time do not share the same themes or story line. Avatar, which is Fantasy/Science fiction movie directed by James Cameron released on December 18, 2009 being the world’s highest-grossing film of all time and is one of the most prosperous movies of the last few years. It has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and has won three of them. Dancing with Wolves that in the other hand is an Epic Western/Drama movie released on November 21, 1990 and directed by Kevin Costner. The first thing that could be very noticeable between these movies is how far apart each movie was released away from each other, almost a 20-year difference between the releases date. I believe that these two movies have a lot of common and resemble each other in many ways that could even imagine. In both movies the protagonists are very similar to each other. But also, some of the themes and aspects that these movies share are: main characters falling in love, protagonist being introduced to a new civilization and how both protagonists are leading a battle against a different tribe.

The dramatic war-like classic of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, it is Star Wars. It made a huge impact in the 70s for its THX digitally mastered sound, new visual effects, but most of all the marvelous theme, without which, Star Wars would not be half the film it is now. It took the science fiction genre to a whole new era. Therefore, Star Wars IV is the best science fiction movies of all times.

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.

star trek vs star wars? Which do you prefer? Who is better? How are they similar? Aside from having ‘star’ in their respective,the two franchises also share many similarities.they do also have some differences.

“The two science fiction phenomena—Star Trek and Star Wars— appear to have the same basic creative foundations; both were designed to speak to Americans in need of social and moral guidance. George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry were responding to their own social times and acted upon the contemporary issues that faced America in the sixties and seventies.”

Narrative themes in both Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey reflect two ends of the science fiction spectrum. Both allowed audiences to become immersed into a world motivated by visual imagination. Star Wars uses science fiction’s futuristic technological discourse, and 2001 helped lead its endearing quest come to life. George Lucas helped reinvent the faithful adaptation of the hero’s journey in a profound way.

Despite overseeing this universe from a similar position, Abrams revoked the established canon tales told over the last four decades during the undertaking of its various incarnations. Leaving out the cult loved essential complex essence, which engaged serious social and political issues within its universe. By the same token contriving this once praised genre into a shell of itself, describing the two films best as futuristic western shootouts.

It was followed by the similarly successful sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983); these three films constitute the original Star Wars trilogy.
