We took a trip through decades of the genre and came up with a list of the most important and best hard science fiction movies of all time. They are the essence and the foundations of the book of sci-fi rules that’s still being written as we, the audience, become much more self-aware of our relationship with technology, the future, and whatever those two will bring.

      Solid first few, then it went to kid’s films? Really not impressed by the list at all, like the furthest they reached back was Blade Runner and only mentioned it because it’s popular, not because it was a genre defining film.

        Blade Runner absolutely brought cyberpunk to the big screen, it was absolutely genre defining for a lot of people. Prior it was just Neuromancer that imagined it.

        Plus they had “Metropolis” from 1927, did you read the whole list? Lol

      Yeah, very disappointing, was looking for more hard sci-fi stuff.

      Edit: Because nobody listed it, Stowaway was good and reasonably hard sci-fi.

        Hard to find a general public that’ll justify the expenditure. Books on the other hand…
