13 of the Best Sci-Fi Movies on Prime Video

The second episode of the Bill and Ted trilogy finds Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter come together as everyone’s favorite slacker duo. This ridiculously funny suite finds the buds struggling with an unexpected scenario: they are murdered by robot clones and go to hell. Yes, it seems silly, and everything is by design. Everything is fun in it, and William Sadler’s performance while The Grim Reaper flies the show.

Jude Law’s first Hollywood film is also one of the best science fiction films you’ve never seen. Ethan Hawke plays the role of Vincent Freeman, a man considered genetically lower to fly towards space. To realize his dream, he buys the genes of a man named Jerome Morrow (law), who is considered genetically “valid”. Vincent must train mentally and physically to pass as Morrow, face a new romantic interest Irene (Uma Thurman) and skirts a growing murder investigation which could thwart his plans of outdoor space.

It was the cult hit that continued the story of the science fiction series by Joss Whedon, Firefly, who answered many questions that the program could not. The entire crew is here: from Nathan Fillion’s bad to Wash by Alan Tudyk. The Summer Glao river is the focal point of history while the crew works to protect it from an external threat. Honestly, it is the funny writing and the dynamics that makes it a fun watch.

Spike Jonze can see the future. At least, that’s what I think after watching her 2013 film. The film features Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore, a man who writes sincere letters for other people who are emotionally broken at the end of his marriage. He ends up finding a new lease on life when he develops a deep emotional link with a program called Samantha (Scarlett Johansson). It is a beautiful story that stimulates reflection. In the AI ​​era, however, it looks like a confusing prediction.

Molli and Max in the future are a deliciously fresh science fiction mashup. He features Zozia Mamet like Molli and Aristotle Athari like Max, two characters who, in many years, dimensions and planets, continue to meet. I guess you can say that it’s as if Harry met Sally and Bladerunner had a baby. And it’s supposed to be a compliment.

Guillermo Del Toro Pacific Rim’s 2013 action film is essentially his tribute to Godzilla, although without presenting the emblematic beast. In the future, Kaiju – giant monstrous creatures – rose from the ocean to destroy humanity. Humans retaliated with huge robots called Jaegers. That was not enough. Can a diffammed pilot and an oppressed beginner bring an out-of-service jaeger to the battlefield and win the fight? I will not answer this question, but I will tell you that it is a hell of fun.

Emma Stone won the Academy for her revolutionary performance as Bella Baxter in the poor things by Yorgos Lanthimos. Bella is a woman brought back from the dead by Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) – It is not Dr. Frankenstein but he is near – who experiences life without the interference of the company’s railing. This feminist masterpiece presents great performances by Mark Ruffalo and Ramy Youssef. It is one of these visionary works of art that must be considered as really appreciated. So, I don’t know, go watch it.

Jason Pargin released John Dies at the end, under the pseudonym David Wong, as a collection of stories he put online for pleasure – then they gained popularity, leading to a fruitful career for the author. This probably helps this horror icon that Don Coscarelli chose to adapt the first book in the series in a film. Chase Williamson plays Dave, the guy prey to supernatural visions, who teams up with his more Slaby John (Rob Mayes) boyfriend to investigate all kinds of strange phenomena. And my boy, this film becomes weird. It is reinforced by a superb cameo by Paul Giamatti, and he solidified as a favorite. Too bad he never had a follow -up.

JJ Abrams entered the camera behind and exploited a heavy nostalgia from Steven Spielberg with Super 8. Spielberg is a producer on the film. The film takes place in 1979 and follows a group of friends in a city in Ohio, running a zombie film on a Spiffy Super 8 camera. They attend a train accident, and shortly after, strange things are starting to happen. Soon, the children discover that they may have filmed the answer to the supernatural mystery that takes place in town.

Trollhunter is a false documentary in the vein of the Blair Witch project, except that the public knew that this film Monster was all fiction in its first in 2011. The essential is quite simple: a group of Norwegian cinema students investigating an illegal poaching chain. What they discover is much worse than they could have imagined: giant, hideous and bloody trolls.

A quiet place: the first day brings the public to the very beginning of the extraterrestrial invasion. Although this is not a necessary entry into the franchise – as, let’s say, 10 Cloverfield Lane – the film digs its heels in the human experience in the middle of a cataclysmic catastrophe of another world. Come for the disaster, stay for the cute cat.

In the classic postapocalyptic cult of John Carpenter, he was 1997 in New York and the city was ravaged by the war. Manhattan was transformed into a giant formulation prison. After the president was taken hostage, the former special forces officer (and current prisoner) Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) is recruited to save the day in exchange for his own freedom.

This classic cult that weighs in mind features Jake Gyllenhaal as an ill -understood high school student who, after having apparently survived a horrible accident, begins to travel in time. In the process, he discovers the joy of being alive and in love. The themes of depression, repression and alternative universes fill this delightfully bizarre film. Also let’s not forget that Giant Demon Bunny named Frank.
