"It was the decade that gave the world the maverick New Hollywood drama, the Nixon-era paranoid thriller, the slasher flick, the all-star disaster movie, the gross-out comedy and the modern mega-blockbuster. But the Seventies were particularly kind to one specific cul-de-sac of cinema: the science fiction film, a subset category that was still buzzing from its late-Sixties head-trip phase courtesy of 2001: A Space Odyssey. As the Age of Aquarius slowly slid into the beginning of the nation's Watergate-and-disco period, you could still find sci-fi movies that wanted to blow an audience's possibly addled, probably enhanced mind.

The 1970's was a pretty good decade for science fiction; movies and games. Star Wars set a new standard in movies and Traveller rpg in games. I also think Logan's Run should get kudos for visionary look at the future. |
