Soft science fiction makes the genre more approachable, especially for viewers who aren’t drawn to the detailed scientific explanations found in some other sci-fi films. These movies often focus on action, suspense, or love stories to keep things moving, rather than getting bogged down in technical details.

The first Harry Potter book is being turned into an eight-part TV series that starts streaming on December 25th.
