i think that sci fi and action is such a popular genre because it shows the audience the unexpected, something beyond human imagination, it allows them to see what could have been, people like to watch what could potentailly go on in peoples minds because they may nothave experianced it themselves. also there is a lot of video games that have a sci-fi genre, and video games are played widely especially through males. sci-fi films are depictions of the phenomena, it allows them to witness the unseen, and something that will never be seen.
i think that animation is a popular genre because it appeals to chlidren as it is easier for them to watch in a way, animation is like an imagination and young children have very big imaginations, they are usually funny which would appeal to a young audience.
