An author once put it best. There's Sci-Fi and then there's Science Fiction.
Sci-Fi is like junk food. It's just lots of special effects and gadgets just for the sake of having special effects and gadgets. A quick ride with no substance.
Science Fiction is like steak. It uses unusual situations to view humanity from a new perspective or to teach a lesson in a way that people will listen to without feeling preached to. The special effects and gadgetry are secondary to the story.
Most television and movies are just sci-fi junk. True science fiction is much harder to find.
