We at Sci Fi Film Review, review films in which speculative science weighs heavily on the plot, and which the creators of the film at least attempted to make art. We do not review films about magic, or fantasy creatures, even if they happen to take place somewhere other than Earth. Science fiction and fantasy are two different imprints, and as such we do not generally review medieval fantasy.
Examples of films we consider science fiction: The Terminator, Aliens, The Empire Strikes Back. Examples of films we do not consider science fiction: Daredevil, The Princess Bride, Conan The Barbarian.
Regarding format: a film need not be feature length, nor need it have released at the box office. It must be a motion picture.
The factors that contribute to the point scale are: Plot, Directing, Cinematography, Acting and Sound. Each of those factors can contribute up to a whole point.
Plot: Concept, Characterization, Pacing, and Resolution.
Directing: Congruity, Shot Selections, Mise-en-scène.
Cinematography: Composition, Integrity, Color, Lighting.
Sound: Mixing, Sound Design, Score.
