Top 10 Sci-Fi movies

Blade Runner

Blade Runner was released 25th of June, 1982. The film is roughly based on the novel written by Philip Dick entitled Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The movie revolves in the life of Blade Runner, played by Harrison Ford, a police officer in the miserable city of Los Angeles whose mission is to dismiss biologically engineered robots called replicants.

E.T (1982)

Need I say more? This was the first Sci-Fi film I remember that did not force me under my bed covers and instead sent me exploring my garage as a child. The warm hearted alien encounter directed by Steven Spielberg explores the possibilities that the Extra Terrestrial could actually be welcoming and friendly creatures rather than a danger to us Earthlings. E.T was the best film of the 80s and arguably the best Sci-Fi film of all time.

Aliens

Star Wars

The big daddy of Sci-Fi films.

The Matrix

The Matrix was released 31st of March, 1999. The movie starred Keanu Reeves as Neo, a computer programmer/hacker who allies with Morpheus, played by Lawrence Fishburne, and his group. Their mission is to convince Neo that he is the chosen one. This movie won 32 awards mainly Best Science Fiction Film in the 2000 US Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films and gained 36 more nominations including Best Foreign Film in the 2000 Norway Amanda Awards.

Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan

Kkkkkhhhhhaaaaaannnnnnnn! Enough said.

2001: A Space Odyssey

2001: A Space Odyssey was released 6th of April, 1968. The movie revolves in the story of evolution of both computers and human beings and their race to gain the next pace into evolution. The movie won 11 awards mainly Best Effects, Special Visual Effects in the 1969 US Academy Awards and gained another 6 nominations Best Film in the 1969 BAFTA Awards. The movie’s budget is estimated at $10.5 million and it earned $56.7 million.

Minority Report (2002)

If you are an avid movie-goer than Minority Report not only offers a complex story line and lots of dialogue to follow, but also plenty of high paced action. Starring Tom Cruise and another of Spielberg’s successes, the movie is a futuristic detective epic where clues to crimes are seen before they happen but when an officer is framed for something he didn’t commit, he strives to prove the technology wrong. The reason I like it so much, is it is not based on unrealistic or outlandish ideas – this could really be the future!

Metropolis

The true grandfather of modern sci-fi films. Star Wars and Blade Runner both owe a debt to this masterpiece.

London
