The Martian
My favorite sci-fi movie would be the 2015 blockbuster The Martian. Based on the novel by Andy Weir, this is a story about an astronaut who is left stranded on Mars after being detached from his team due to a storm. Mark Watney’s team is caught in a storm while exploring Mars. The team, assuming that Watney has been devoured by the storm, leave him behind. Watney is then left with limited resources and absolutely no way of communicating with Earth. On Earth, NASA realises that Watney might be alive, after seeing moved equipment through satellites, and start working on a way to bring him back. The Martian is an absolute thriller and leaves your spine tingling every time you watch it!
Star Wars
My favourite sci-fi movie is ‘Star Wars Episode V- Empire Strikes Back. It is the second film in the Star Wars series but the fifth chronological chapter in the Skywalker Saga. It stars Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones and Harrison Ford among others. It is considered by many as one of the greatest movies ever made with the biggest plot twist of the millenium, for who would have thought that ruthless Darth Vader, the greatest villain of all time and kind Luke Skywalker would be bound in a relation as strong as that of father and son. Not only this, there are epic lightsaber duels, entrancing storylines and many other things to watch out for. The best thing about Star Wars is that it tells us that even the worst villain could be a hero if not for certain unfavourable circumstances. In my opinion, this movie and the entire Star Wars franchise is sci-fi at its best.
An attempt to save the world
The Sci-fi movie that enthralled and captivated me the most was ‘Life’ directed by Daniel Espinosa. The film starts when a crew of six astronauts discover a trace of extraterrestrial life on Mars. But fortuitously the creature escapes into the probe and wreaks havoc among the crew. It kills the members of the unit heinously. The last surviving crew member tries to steer it to deeper space but it goes in vain as he ends up sending it to earth. It is about biology and horror in thrilling scenarios.
My special liking for this film has also been built on the character Rory Adams portrayed by Ryan Reynolds who is the perfect fit for the role. Life is so far my favourite movie.
The dinosaurs are back!
My favourite sci-fi movie is definitely Jurassic Park. In this movie, some people visit a dinosaur park and have a series of adventures.
The animation of the dinosaurs is very convincing. I like the way they’ve shown information about the way dinosaurs lived, making the movie believable. And the scenes in which the dinosaurs attack the humans give me goosebumps. I also like the way the movie shows how the dinosaurs came back. Jurassic Park is the perfect movie for a dinosaur lover like me.
A heroic adventure
My favourite sci-fi movie is ‘Incredibles’. I love this movie because it is packed with adventures, has a family of brave superheroes, etc. Also, it teaches us important life lessons, such as not being afraid or ashamed to show your true identity, how to value your friendship with others. and that instead of avoiding villains(or bullies), we must stand up to them for what is right Also, when people watch the movie, we can be sure that at some point of the movie people will get excited with suspense. For example, when Mr. Incredible (one of the characters, and the main protagonist in the movie) is being held hostage by the villain and his cronies, I became shocked and excited at the same time. It makes me wonder what is going to happen next to the protagonist. If you watch this movie, you will love it!
Triple monster fight
My favourite sci-fi movie is Godzilla 2014 because Godzilla looks awesome. He fights against two Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms (MUTO), and the movie’s name is amazing. I also like Godzilla’s atomic breath. The MUTOS did a good job as villains and their powers were shown in detail.
Spielberg’s best
My favorite sci-fi movie is Jurassic Park’, one of Steven Spielberg’s best films. It is about experts in various fields who are invited to a Dinosaur Theme Park that features real Dinosaurs brought back through technology using DNA. It is well known for its groundbreaking visual effects and brings up philosophical views including the dangers of tampering too much with nature.
This Sci-fi movie is an endlessly thrilling adventure with Spielberg as the master creator. He somehow conjures big screen beasts that still look and feel Incredibly real.
One movie, many lessons
Although I have watched many movies, my favourite is the sci-fi movie Raya and the Last Dragon’. This movie depicts a warrior Princess who sought out for the fabled last dragon with hopes of restoring the dragon gem that would bring her father back and banish the evil spirits from the land of Kumandra. This movie teaches us to help everyone in their difficulties. It tells us that not everyone has good intentions but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t trust people. It also shows the importance of learning how to work with people you disagree with, which is invaluable. I got inspired by watching this movie so I suggest everyone should watch this movie.
A scientific reason
I am not a typical avenger fan, but my favourite sci-fi movie is ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’. The main reason is the scientific base on which the movie was based, which according to me is necessary for any good science fiction story or movie. It showed how dangerous a robot with its own thinking capabilities can become if it is not controlled. This is also a major concern raised by scientists nowadays as we are trying to make self-taught robots with special abilities. Plus, the movie also showed how a villain also has logic behind his actions and that everything has dual nature a good side and a bad side.
The Tomorrow War
The science-fiction movie that I consider the best among the ones that I have watched so far is The Tomorrow War of 2021. The title of the movie itself prompts the audience to dive in, watch and know more. It is entirely based on a time travel to the future, where devastating creatures create havoc all around. The protagonist, along with a group of people, goes to the future and tries to resist those wild beings. The hero also sees his own young daughter grown up and being a reputed officer. Finally he realises that the creatures emerged from the past and travels back to the present era and kills them at the early stage. Thus, this movie is my favourite, due to its fictional time travel and emotional clip.
