As a result, here are the best eight sci-fi movies of 2021 ranked. 8. Finch. In a year awash with violent and overly complex science fiction movies, Miguel Sapochnik's Finch sets itself apart simply by delivering a family-friendly film that is comfortingly traditional in its approach. Finch centers on its titular robotics engineer living in a 10 The Predator - 'Prey' (2022) The Predator is among the most iconic sci-fi villains in cinema. His franchise might not be the most prestigious, but the Predator as a character is always I wrote a bunch of books before taking the dive into Science Fiction. I'm the author of Earth's First Starfighter, Jesap - The Space Trader, and more. I wanted to introduce myself and I hope you give my work a try. My military bio, links and blurbs inside the post. Cheers. Expanse is definitely #1. BSG is also in my top 5. Interstellar, Dune, and Firefly/Serenity round it out. Some others I love: Lost (probably controversial), Gravity, The Matrix (nothing else has blown me away in the theaters like this), Star Wars: TESB, Sunshine. Would ya'll consider Mad Max Fury Road scifi? If so it might jump into my top 5. 7 'Skyline' (2010) In Colin Strause and Greg Strause 's sci-fi mystery thriller — the first installment of the trilogy — strange lights appear in L.A., luring people outside like moths to a Gurren Lagann = a post-apocalyptic mecha anime with constantly escalating hype that reaches a universal scale. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha = a magical girl anime that slowly transforms into a sci-fi military anime over time. Megalo Box = a cyberpunk boxing anime with awesome action and drama.

It did solid box office business but Some of my personal faves on Canadian Netflix: Rogue One, Force Awakens, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Chappie, The 5th Element, Signs, Armageddon, Ex Machina, The Fly, Total Recall, Inception, ET, Arrival. Sorry can’t pick just one as the very best. Depends what you’re in the mood for. 9. 1. 100. Serenity (2005) View full post on Youtube. Joss Whedon's wonderful coda to the cult show Firefly probably wouldn't exist if that show hadn't been prematurely canceled—a layer of irony Dr. Stone is scifi that heavily dives into actual science rather than being in a futuristic setting. The only spaceships that shows up in the first season are two Soyuz capsules and the ISS. A good chunk of the first season is about making antibiotics from scratch in the stone age. 1. quMv.
