Hi,
I'm a Media student and im doing critical research on the representation of women in Sci-fi/Fantasy films. I have three focus films which i can use, and i have chosen Aliens, Transformers and Terminator 2. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to comment on how you think women are portrayed in Sci-fi/Fantasy movies, and how you think it affects the audience.
Megan Fox's character Mikaela in Transformers knows more about cars than the men that drive them, and in Aliens the soldiers at first feel threatened by being given orders by Ripley. How does this make you feel as a person?
It would be great to get both male and female responses, but any help would be much appreciated!
