Essential viewing for sci-fi lovers.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT From Blade Runner to superhero movies, sci-fi films have become one of Hollywood's biggest markets, but some have distinguished themselves as the best of the best. For movie lovers or sci-fi fans, some films are essential viewing. Narrowing down so many great sci-fi films requires an examination of their influence on the genre, direct cultural appeal, and how their quality has held up since their release.
10 Dune Frank Herbert's novel, Dune, is a pillar of science fiction, and while it was previously adapted in the 1980s, it's the 2021 film that really brings the book to life. Denis Villeneuve has had multiple notable contributions to the sci-fi genre already, having also made Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival in his first decade of Hollywood films.
7 Terminator 2: Judgement Day The Terminator is a great sci-fi movie, but Terminator 2: Judgement Day is commonly considered the best in the saga. Among James Cameron's work in the genre, which also includes Avatar and Aliens, Terminator 2 is considered a revolutionary action film and one of the best movie sequels ever. Terminator 2 subverts expectations viewers would have after watching the first film, and takes the franchise in a new direction, following T-800 as the hero.
5 The Empire Strikes Back Though A New Hope is one of the greatest and most innovative sci-fi stories in cinema, The Empire Strikes Back is generally considered the greatest Star Wars film. Between epic war scenes, lightsaber duels, swamp planet training sessions, and parental drama, Episode V has it all. The film introduces Yoda, Boba Fett, and Lando into the Star Wars universe, and delivers the most shocking plot twist in the history of cinema.
