Science fiction is now among the most popular movie genres, and films like Forbidden Planet, Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, and Avatar made it happen.

3 Akira Akira is an unexpected contributor to the western science fiction genre. The film is a staple for anime fans since it is hugely responsible for the emergence of Japanese animation in the United States. However, regarding sci-fi movies and television, Akira left a massive impact. First, it demonstrated that animation wasn't only for children's movies.
