Forums - Movies & TV - The 50 Best Sci-Fi Films Of The 21st Century So Far

Is overall a very good selection but I would massively change the order of the ranking.



Around the Network

I'd shuffle the order and drop AI, but it looks like a pretty good list.

Shame on you, AI should be on the top 15.

Maybe he meant Prometheus?

But Prometheus is too stupid to be on any positive ranking :P



Around the Network

Moon should've ranked higher.
Under your Skin a bit lower. Great film. Just not #2 great.
Drop AI.


All in all great list.



Wait why is mad max science fiction, and not fiction fiction.



 

Lots of crappy movies. Not a good century for scifi so far.



I'm not sure if all of these belong under the sci-fi banner, but it's an OK list. Really glad to see 2046, Monsters, and especially Snowpiercer.

I'd take out Interstellar, Donnie Darko, and Star Trek. And I'm surprised to see zero superhero movies. Surely some of those can be counted as science fiction?

Here's my top 10, assuming movies like Gravity, 2046, and Mad Max are indeed sci-fi:

10. WALL-E
9. Children of Men
8. Inception
7. The World's End
6. District 9
5. Avatar
4. 2046
3. Snowpiercer
2. Mad Max: Fury Road
1. Gravity



My top movies from that list would be:

20. Interstellar
19. Coherence
18. The Force Awakens
17. The Martian
16. Snowpiercer
15. Melancholia
14. AI
13. Donnie Darko
12. A scanner Darkly
11. Children of Men
10. Ex-Machina
9. District 9
8. 2046
7. Inception
6. Moon
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
4. Gravity
3. Her
2. Mad Max: Fury Road
1. Wall-e

Haven't seen Under My Skin yet though
