Science Fiction Movies with Unpredictable Scenarios

Nobody knows the secret of science fiction movies power, but it’s a sure thing that there are billions of Science Fiction lovers out there. We all know, more secrets we face, more interesting, more involving, more unpredictable it becomes. You feed your fantasy with a mighty thing, the illusion that you grow closer to the deepest secrets of the universe.

No wonder, it’s a fantastic source of ideas for the movie directors. Whatever you think is out there – it’s all possible or not. Some director’s to powering movies use an impressive number of scientific facts, and some of them feature terrible scientific mistakes. But whatever they do, if the movie is right – it is good. It is all about many other factors that bring a movie 10 starts rate for a few decades.

Best Actors, Outstanding Special Visual Effects, and Talented Directors

I run to the movie theater for every premier a science fiction movie and tracking the future ones just like an eagle. I know how to enjoy this movie genre, and I know how to appreciate the director imagination. So, I would suggest never pay attention to those critics who are complaining about scientific mistakes which they try to spot in every grand movie. For example, the latest “Interstellar,” or “The Martian,” “Gravity.” Stephens Hawking phone probably will never stop ringing.

It seems that I have seen all of the known and trendy movies on this subject. Let’s be honest. Yes, Hollywood has been filming hundreds of videos yearly. Some of them are good; excellent casting and acting save some of them. But during the last decade, in my opinion, almost every second movie seems worse than a few previous.

Hollywood has got an impressive selection of tools to generate dramatic science fiction masterpieces. Special effects, costumes, locations, actors, computers, makeups – everything! But what about functional quality scenarios and maybe unique ideas?

Ok, let me put you on the same track as me. What do you think about last “Terminator Genisys”? I don’t want to sound rude, but it has become a trash movie. Movie for one night of a premiere. Even the brightest star Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn’t save the drama. What would you say about the first two chapters? Now I hear you saying: “Sure, it was James Cameron.” That’s right, almost every movie by one of those authors James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, or Stanley Kubrick is a sensation.

We all have seen those movies and have made proper research on the top 10 list out of 100. I think it’s time to move forward and open up something new. We have conducted our own research and have brought you an exclusive list of 15 Spectacular Science Fiction Movies that you probably haven’t seen yet. Now you have some movies to watch.
