How to choose
What to look for in science fiction films
Science fiction uses speculative premises to test ideas about technology, identity and power. The best entries keep the concept legible and let character decisions, not exposition, carry the argument.
Ask what the idea is, and whether the characters, not the exposition, carry the argument. Production design and sound are doing a lot of the work, so a large screen helps.
Where to start: For ideas, pick the highest rated. For spectacle, pick the biggest budget on the page. They are rarely the same film.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best science fiction movies here?
Project Hail Mary, Interstellar and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are the highest rated science fiction guides here. Ratings are TMDB user scores and change over time.
Is science fiction the same as superhero films?
They overlap, but superhero films are about powers and morality, while science fiction is about an idea about the world. The genre labels on each film page show which tags apply.
Do sci-fi films date badly?
The predictions do, but the questions do not. Films that focus on people age better than those that focus on gadgets.
