While describing Science Fiction, Cramer (1994) states, “Science fiction allows us to understand and experience our past, present, and future in terms of an imagined future.” . Though the genre is imaginary it just thrills the spectators and at the same time through the dystopian representation of the future world, it conveys a valuable message to the audience. Science fiction is the source of entertainment as well as an effective way of conveying a message to the society. According to Sobchack “science fiction cinema is an important source to understand the history of the spatial and temporal transformation of the city as it has been experienced by the spectators in the USA, from the 1950s to the present, from modernism to postmodernism.” (Vivian Sobchack 1999)
