Some Friends of mine and myself met at a bar last night to have "Nerd Talk," and the topic brought to the table was:
"Which Sub-genre of Sci-Fi/Fantasy is better? Space or Post-Apocolyptic."

This was in regards to both movies and literature.

My choice is Space, but only because it's infinite and therefore has more variety. And post-apocalypse can be within a space story.

I wanted to bring this to you guys and see what your thoughts were.


Some of my favorite books and movies within these guidelines:
Dune, Star Wars, Wool, Dies the Fire, Enders Game (The whole series), and World War Z (the book).

For the sake of argument I will also assert that "Waterworld" is totally under-rated.
 
Oh yeah Star Wars, Gundam, Macross, Battletech and Battlestar Galactica are very space with chunks of post apocalyptic but hard to go past Thundarr the Barbarian.
 
I'd definitely say space by a long shot. While a post apocalyptic based film can be spooky, I've always felt that many spaced themed movies are more successful. Honestly, nothing beats the foreign, cold, quiet, and dangerous atmosphere of space!
