1970s-1990
- Solaris
The era of manned trips to the moon in the 1970s
saw a
resurgence of interest in the science fiction film.
Andrei Tarkovskys slow-paced Solaris (1972) had visuals
and a philosophic scope reminiscent of 2001: A Space
Odyssey.
Science fiction films from the early 1970s
explored the theme of paranoia, in which humanity is
depicted as under threat from ecological or
technological adversaries of its own creation, such as
Silent Running (ecology), Westworld (man vs. robot), THX
1138 (man vs. the state), and Stanley Kubrick's A
Clockwork Orange (threat of brainwashing).
Conspiracy
thriller films of the 1970s included Soylent Green and
Futureworld. The science fiction comedies of the 1970s
included Woody Allen's Sleeper and John Carpenter's Dark
Star.
