sci-fi genre question

What are the differences between the two main types of sci-fi film?

the two different main types of sci-fi include: Earth bound sci-fi e.g. Blade runner and Transcendence, and futuristic sci-fi: e.g. Star trek and 2001: A space odyssey

the differences between the two main types of sci-fi are that they feature different settings, different types of characters, they feature two completely different types of storylines and they pace themselves very differently from each other.

an example of this would be that Blade Runner has a much slower plot than say Star Trek as the story of Blade Runner wants us to gather up all the facts before we have a conclusion to the story, but in Star Trek we are given most of the character back story and information within first half of the movie and the rest just feels like filler till the end.

The “What if?” in Blade Runner is What if we create to robots that can think and feel like humans? Where as the “What if?” in Star Trek is What if we journey out into space and we found alien’s that could either be our allies or our enemies and the whole galaxy of people
