Science fiction refers to a genre of media in which laws and theories in science are expanded and exaggerated. This usually involves encounters with alien species or concepts and may explore machinery and technology. These forms of media are usually set in the future or in other universes. The SlideShare below describes an idea of a typical or atypical Sci-Fi film.
Whilst I do not completely agree with some of the conventions for a typical Sci-Fi described (E.g. Fast camerawork in action sequences and Big cities are where the action is held) I almost completely agree with what makes an atypical Sci-Fi film.
The film described here (Inception) is another example of a Sci-Fi film where the main character is caught in multiple worlds. This is what I consider an atypical Science fiction film as it is all based around human contact and is set in the present and in this universe as opposed to other Sci-Fi films.
Some conventions of Sci-Fi are more to do with sub genre compared to Sci-fi as a whole. I believe that Sci-fi films try their hardest to break a feeling of good and evil. With films containing different species, the alien is nearly always just trying to live and humans interfere. With Dystopian films, usually has little idea of evil besides a previous event. In films with a human caused threat which establishes humans as good and evil.
