Why Sci-Fi tragicomedy with a love story is not classified as Romance genre?

According to our Genre guidelines:

Romance: Should contain numerous inter-related scenes of a character and their personal life with emphasis on emotional attachment or involvement with other characters, especially those characterized by a high level of purity and devotion. Note: Reminder, as with all genres if this does not describe the movie wholly, but only certain scenes or a subplot, then it should be submitted as a keyword instead. 

So in your case, just because there is the word "Love", it does not mean the movie is considered as a Romance, it might qualify to be added as a Keyword. Also, we do not consider wikis as valid evidence which is another reason why it was rejected.

Thanks for an explanation.

Well, in fact, this is exactly what this movie is about - a man heard woman voice, fallen in love for her and headed to her in attempt to help her and save her. This is not a movie about space itself, most of movie is about love, personal life and inter-relation, and rather space and science fiction is a subplot, the space is just background and push for this love.

And I did not base that on Wiki, I base this on the plot and my friends opinions, and said trailer simply confirms that.

Well, sadly I did not watch this movie myself yet, it is a bit hard to do because of outages, as most of theaters do not work when there is no main power. I will come to you when I do, with updates.

And, actually, I cannot understand why https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1355644/ or https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338013/ are marked as Romance genre then. In your definition, romance is a subplot in both of them, they are mostly science fiction movies.

Have a nice day and happy new year!

I have finally watched it in the theater and I can definitely tell you - it is about love and despair actually, and pretty much less about science fiction and comedy.

Just live with that now.

P.S. And I will know now that genres at IMDb are not always precise and complete. :)
