未来科幻电影发展前景如何？有哪些值得期待的地方？

Thanks for the invitation of Zhihu.感谢知乎的邀请。To facilitate more Zhihu netizens to read, I specially invited the Zhihu team to translate my answers into Chinese, and the following answers will be presented in both Chinese and English.为了方便更多的知乎网友阅读，我特别邀请知乎团队将我的回答翻译成中文，以下回答将以中英文对照的形式呈现。Science fiction film is not only a business theme, but also represents the way of thinking of modern human beings. Science fiction film is a way of thinking and the essence of human nature. Human beings are creatures driven by technology, and we are the only creatures with consciousness. In the struggle to understand ourselves, understand the environment and build reality, we use technology to reshape our own behavior and human civilization. 科幻片不仅是商业题材，也代表了现代人类的思维方式。科幻片是一种思维方式，也展现着人的本性。人类是被科技驱动的生物，也是唯一有思维意识的生物。在努力了解自身、了解环境和构建现实的过程中，我们用技术来重塑自己的行为和文明。Today, all our children see in the cinema are superhero movies with special effects. They don't need to care about how these spaceships work, or how everything works in them, nor do they need to think about those seemingly interesting and mysterious problems. A good science fiction can expand children's imagination. It's no problem to watch some superheroes occasionally for entertainment. But it would not be a good thing if only the brilliant deeds of these superheroes remained in children's childhood memories of science fiction.今天，我们的孩子在电影院看到的都是特效遍布的超级英雄电影。他们不需要关心这些宇宙飞船是如何工作的，或者里面的一切是如何运行的，也不需要思考那些看似有趣又神秘的难题。好的科幻可以拓展孩子的想象力。偶尔看一些超级英雄作品没问题，但如果孩子们童年的科幻记忆中只有超级英雄的光辉事迹，那不是一件好事。I received a gift of a telescope when I was about 10 years old. Since then, I have confirmed my fate with science fiction. Later, I was attracted by the theme of "science fiction" for a period. I saw many Ray Harryhausen (the film special effects master), Star Trek TV series and so on. I watched the film "2001 Space Odyssey" many times. It was it that made me want to be a movie.我10岁左右时，收到了一个望远镜作为礼物。自那时起，我就与科幻结下了不解之缘。后来一段时间里，我被“科幻”这个主题吸引。我看了很多雷·哈里豪森（电影《特效大师》）、《星际迷航》电视剧等等。电影《2001太空漫游》我看了很多遍。正是它，让我憧憬自己拍电影。As a parent of five kids, I’m saying, I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC happens when those characters mature and realize that they have a responsibility outside their own survival as the characters in Avatar. I look at these big,spectacular films, I’m looking at you, Marvel, and DC it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college. They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose. Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.作为五个孩子的家长，我想说，就像阿凡达中的角色一样，只有在人物成熟并意识到他们有生存之外的责任时，漫威和DC的科幻电影才能真正成型。而据我所见，这些宏大壮观的电影，漫威和DC，不管角色多大年纪，英雄们都表现得像个大学生。他们看似与人建立连接，但实际上并没有。他们从不会因为孩子而放弃原本执着的事。我们需要那些真正让我们脚踏实地，赋予我们力量、爱和目标的东西。但是漫威和DC角色没有经历过这些，我认为这不是拍电影应有的方式。When shooting "Avatar 2", I chose the ocean I love. The ocean can produce many stories for human beings. The ocean is still a strange world for us. There are many strange creatures. We can obviously get more references and inspiration from how to create an alien creature we have never seen before.拍摄《阿凡达2》时，我选择了我挚爱的海洋。海洋可以上演人类的许多故事。至今海洋对我们来说还是一个比较陌生的世界，蕴含许多奇异生物。在创造一个虚构外来生物的过程中，我们显然可以获得更多的参考与启迪。As science fiction finally earns mainstream acceptance in Hollywood the genre’s awards drought will soon be over. I predict that sometime in the next five to ten years you will have a science-fiction film win Best Picture.随着科幻最终在好莱坞赢得主流认可，这一电影类型的奖项荒很快就会结束。我预测，在未来五到十年的某个时候，会有一部科幻电影赢得最佳影片。We now live in a science-fiction world. We live in a world that would have been very hard to predict even 20 or 30 years ago. We are co-evolving with our own technology.We’re on the cutting edge of a big experiment in consciousness and engineering and technology and science fiction is kind of our headlights.

科幻片不仅是商业题材，也代表了现代人类的思维方式。科幻片是一种思维方式，也展现着人的本性。人类是被科技驱动的生物，也是唯一有思维意识的生物。在努力了解自身、了解环境和构建现实的过程中，我们用技术来重塑自己的行为和文明。

今天，我们的孩子在电影院看到的都是特效遍布的超级英雄电影。他们不需要关心这些宇宙飞船是如何工作的，或者里面的一切是如何运行的，也不需要思考那些看似有趣又神秘的难题。好的科幻可以拓展孩子的想象力。偶尔看一些超级英雄作品没问题，但如果孩子们童年的科幻记忆中只有超级英雄的光辉事迹，那不是一件好事。

我10岁左右时，收到了一个望远镜作为礼物。自那时起，我就与科幻结下了不解之缘。后来一段时间里，我被“科幻”这个主题吸引。我看了很多雷·哈里豪森（电影《特效大师》）、《星际迷航》电视剧等等。电影《2001太空漫游》我看了很多遍。正是它，让我憧憬自己拍电影。

作为五个孩子的家长，我想说，就像阿凡达中的角色一样，只有在人物成熟并意识到他们有生存之外的责任时，漫威和DC的科幻电影才能真正成型。而据我所见，这些宏大壮观的电影，漫威和DC，不管角色多大年纪，英雄们都表现得像个大学生。他们看似与人建立连接，但实际上并没有。他们从不会因为孩子而放弃原本执着的事。我们需要那些真正让我们脚踏实地，赋予我们力量、爱和目标的东西。但是漫威和DC角色没有经历过这些，我认为这不是拍电影应有的方式。

我们现在生活在一个科幻世界里，生活在一个在二三十年前很难预测的世界，并正在与技术携手并进。我们正身处意识、工程和科技不断探索的最前沿，科幻是我们头顶的探照灯。它帮助我们看到未来会发生什么，而全球快速变化的科技让科幻作家很难想象还没有出现的新事物。你可以看到，我们想象的未来和现实的未来之间存在着巨大的差异。在某些领域，科幻的预言带来了巨大的失望；而在其他领域，我们科幻一样的真实世界正在超越科幻预言家们的想象。
