When you think of the greatest science fiction movies by the decades, the 2010s might not come to mind at first. But what if I told you that the 2010s just might have some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best sci-fi movies made, ever?

While the 1970s saw sci-fi in exclusively dark terms and the 1980s is fondl📖y remembered for its generational hits and classics, the 2010s just might deserve better recognition as perhaps the greatest decade in sci-fi. (Even if .) In a period marked by profound existential uncertainty and political divide, as well as an era that saw streaming take off( with algorithms engulfing us all), the sci-fi genre evolved in ways few could ever dream of. With filmmakers like Matt Reeves, Christopher Nolan, and Denis Villeneuve, science fiction has honestly never been better than it was in the second decade of the new millennium.

Don't belie�🅘�ve me? Here's 35 of the greatest sci-fi movies of the 2010s.

35. Logan

Year: 2017
Director: James Mangold

When superhero movies were unstoppable at the box office, director James Mangold imagined the invincible Wolverine at his most vulnerable. In Mangold's sequel to his own 2013 movie, The Wolverine, Hugh Jackman plays an aging (and dying) Wolverine who takes up one final mission involving the protection of his clone "daughter," named Laura (Dafne Keen). Although the complicated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline eventually brought back Jackman and Patrick Stewart (as Professor Xavier), the neo-Western Logan still exists as a moving send-off for two actors whose characters set the tone for Hollywood's suﷺperheroes in the 21st century.

34. Color Out of Space

Year: 2019
Director: Richard Stanely

During Nicholas Cage's late-career renaissance/freak era, he starred in what is perhaps the greatest movie adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft tale ever made. Color Out of Space, based on Lovecraft's short story from 1927, stars Nicolas Cage as a family man whose rural home is struck by a meteorite carryin💦g a hostile alien organism that slowly seizes control over their minds and bodies. Stanley's Color Out of Space is an arresting sci-fi horror that devolves into a neon technicolor nightmare, going far out with a gonzo Cage at the center.

33. Chronicle

Year: 2012
Director: Josh Trank

A fusion of The Blair Witch Project, Akira, and Marvel's X-Men movies, J๊osh Trank's indie sci-fi Chronicle is a coming-of-age action thriller that breathed new life (however brief) into the found footage genre. Chronicle stars Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, and pre-Creed Michael B. Jordan as high schoolers who "joy ride" around town with newfound telekinetic superpowers until the power dangerously begins to corrupt one of them. Before Trank helmed the disastrous 2015 reboot of Fantastic Four, he was a rising visionary due to Chronicle.

32. Safety Not Guaranteed

Year: 2012
Director: Colin Trevorrow

A time travel sci-fi unlike any other, Colin Trevorrow's Safety Not Guaranteed is an emotional indie comedy about placing trust in the impossible. Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnston, and Deadpool's Karan Soni star as local magazine journalists who look into a bizarre classified ad asking for time travel companions. The ad belongs to a socially awkward grocery clerk, played by Mark Duplass, who claims to have a working time machine. While Plaza's character becomes emotionally attached t💫o Duplass' DIY inventor, the rest of the characters learn how to actually live in the present. While mileage varies for how much one can tolerate its sweetness, Safety Not Guaranteed previewed what Trevorrow would later pull off on bigger-scale blockbusters like Jurassic World.

31. About Time

Year: 2013
Director: Richard Curtis

While it sacrifices hard science for heart, About Time can surprise just about anyone as a romantic comedy with unsuspe🎶cting depth. Domnhall Gleeson stars as an ordinary man who inherits his family's secret power to travel backward in time. Determined to use his abilities to find love, Gleeson soon falls for Mary (Rachel McAdams), only to realize the wide-reaching impact of messing wit🐬h time. Though About Time isn't as focused on temporal physics as other sci-fi movies, it remains a picturesque romance that reveals how time is the only thing we can never have enough of.

30. Never Let Me Go

Year: 2010
Director: Mark Romanek

Kazuo Ishiguro's award-winning sci-fi novel Never Let Me Go is turned into an emotional drama by director Mark Romanek. The movie follows a group of boarding school graduates - played by Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield, and Keira Knightley - who find out their true nature as clones whose organs are to be harvested for ot🐈her people until they die. (Almost like Michael Bay'🌳s The Island, with far fewer car chases.) After leaving the school and entering the outside world for the first time, the clones struggle to adapt to the real world whilst navigating feelings like love and jealousy. There are no flying cars or high-tech gadgets, but Never Let Me Go lives up to sci-fi tradition as a movie that probes what it means to be human.

29. Tron: Legacy

Year: 2010
Director: Joseph Kosinski

Admittedly, the soundtrack by Daft Punk is doing overtime when it comes to this sci-fi film, picking up the slack when the action and plot halt to a maddening crawl. But Joseph Kosinski's Tron: Legacy succeeds as a long-awaited follow-up to Disney's cult 1982 hit Tron, bringing audiences bacඣk to "The Grid" where the protagonist S📖am (Garrett Hedlund) must stop the malevolent A.I. Clu (Jeff Bridges, in a dual role where he also reprises his original Tron character Kevin Flynn) from entering the real world. Though Tron: Legacy didn't live up to all expectations, there's no denying it looks good – and sounds great.

28. Guardians of the Galaxy

Year: 2014
Director: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn

Just when you thought the Marvel Cinematic Universe was nothing but heroes with armored suits, magical hammers, and perfect teeth, in came the universe's biggest band of misfits – the Guardians of the Galaxy. Directed by Troma graduate James Gunn, Guardian♐s of the Galaxy sees the assembly of galactic outlaws (led by Chris Pratt as Star-Lord) who try to keep a powerful relic from the hands of the warmongering conqueror, Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace). With a Jack Kirby-inspired vision of space and a curated soundtrac💮k of supermarket pop, Guardians of the Galaxy can get you hooked on a feeling.
