Abstract
The human being has always had the need to imagine what the future will be like and through cinema has found the best vehicle to project those ideas through scientific fiction. To unite the visible and invisible, imagination and understanding, to communicate the inexplicable, to make the abstract and recognizable look unrecognizable. Many of the predictions that science fiction has presented through the film media have become reality. The visual images of fantasy worlds and scientific fiction stimulate the spectator´s imagination, leading him to think more than even themselves can explain. That possibility of seeing further is explained by Kieran Egan in his theory on Imaginative Education in which he revalues the importance of imagination and fantasy as instruments for learning, emphasizing that imagination drives ideas and ideas solve problems.
