I absolutely love that Barbie, a movie which, at first glance, would seem to live as far as possible from Fantasy or Science Fiction land, turns out to actually be a science fiction movie.
...but it ain't because they go to space, as the article reasons.
Barbie is a science fiction movie because it's speculative. What if you were actually a doll living in a world dreamt up by a kid? What if, one day, you woke up and realised there was a bigger world outside?
That's why Barbie is a sci-fi movie, not because they go to space.
I'm not even sure I expected better from you, ign, you were always a bunch of jocks disguised as nerds
That summary does read a lot like a Philip K. Dick story.
You'll never guess what I grew up reading
Yeah, I see Barbie as a sort of Urban Glitz Fantasy.
