Best Fantasy Film of 2014

Science fiction films have their own category. Fantasy films are a story about magic and supernatural forces, rather than technology, though it often is made to include elements of other genres, such as science fiction elements, for instance computers or DNA, if it happens to take place in a modern or future era. Depending on the extent of these other elements, the story may or may not be considered to be a “hybrid genre” series; for instance, even though the Harry Potter series canon includes the requirement of a particular gene to be a wizard, it is referred to only as a fantasy series. Superhero films are often considered to be in the fantasy genre even if they included technological elements, though voters should note that this year we also have a separate category for Best Superhero Film.

Buzzworthy: Afflicted • The Amazing Spider-Man 2 • The Boxtrolls • Dawn of the Planet of the Apes • Dracula Untold • The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies • Horns • How to Train Your Dragon 2 • I, Frankenstein • Into the Woods • The Legend of Hercules • The Lego Movie • Maleficent • Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb • Noah • Oculus • Only Lovers Left Alive • PK • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles • 300: Rise of an Empire • Vampire Academy • Winter’s Tale • X-Men: Days of Future Past

Best Science Fiction Film of 2014

Similar to fantasy, except stories in this genre use scientific understanding to explain the universe that it takes place in. It generally includes or is centered on the presumed effects or ramifications of computers or machines; travel through space, time or alternate universes; alien life-forms; genetic engineering; or other such things. The science or technology used may or may not be very thoroughly elaborated on; stories whose scientific elements are reasonably detailed, well-researched and considered to be relatively plausible given current knowledge and technology are often referred to as hard science fiction. Owing to the wide breadth of the genre, it very commonly has elements from other genres, such as action, comedy, alternate history (which is sometimes considered a sub-genre of science fiction), military or spy fiction, and fantasy mixed in, with such combinations often forming new major subgenres in their own right. Although some superhero films may overlap with Science Fiction, voters should not that for the first time, the Cosmos has a separate award for Best Superhero Film.

Buzzworthy: Afflicted • The Amazing Spider-Man 2 • Big Hero 6 • Captain America: The Winter Soldier • The Congress • Dawn of Planet of the Apes • Divergent • Edge of Tomorrow • Extraterrestrial • The Giver • Godzilla • Guardians of the Galaxy • The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 • I, Frankenstein • Interstellar • The Maze Runner • Robocop • The Signal • Snowpiercer • Space Station 76 • Transformers: Age of Extinction • Under the Skin • X-Men: Days of Future Past • Young Ones
