When asked what elements make a great film, common answers may be a strong plot and well developed characters. While these are both necessary elements, characters and story fall apart without a strong world to bind them together. In this latest installation of Making Sense of Movies, Clare and Alaina discuss worldbuilding within five different movies. Some of the movies discussed are science fiction, the essential world building genre. These movies have created worlds with a rich and mysterious history. Other movies that made the list go about their worldbuilding in a more subtle, but equally powerful way. These movies have successfully merged our familiar world with unfamiliar elements. Join Clare and Alaina as we examine worldbuilding in movies!
