Paste's The 100 Greatest Movie Robots of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Robots are a mainstay of the genre for good reason: They stand in as cogent symbols of humanity’s drive to create, to build, to extend its understanding of the human condition. And they carry with them all the wonder, hubris, hope and dread that that drive compels. With sci-fi being as vogue in popular culture as ever, now is the perfect time to reflect back on our favorite ’bots as represented in film. ---Paste, June 17th 2021 Note: Blade Runner, Star Wars, and The Avengers: Age of Ultron are named twice on the list. Transformers: The Movie and Transformers (2007) are both included as a single entry. -

The Best Pre-Apocalyptic Movies of Our Pre-Apocalypse Times
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. So recently I was cruisin’ the net like a cool guy when I came across the term “pre-apocalyptic.” It caught my attention for a few reasons: 1. I don’t have much going on in my life right now, so it doesn’t take much to distract me from my normal routine. 2. Three years ago I named my production company Prepocalypse Productions (don’t bother looking us up, we haven’t done very much). 3. I wanted to know what people considered to be pre-apocalyptic movies. Reason number three resulted in this article, so there ya go, pointless web browsing can something lead to mild inspiration. Thankfully, I soon found out there are no solid definitions for this term, so let’s go ahead and make up our own. For the purposed of this article, pre-apocalyptic movies take place in a time immediately before a world-changing event. Once we get to the list itself you’ll see what I mean. Post-apocalyptic movies have been such a staple for sci-fi and fantasy work for decades, so the idea of identifying specific stories as pre-apocalyptic was kind of exciting, especially because they’re allowed to avoid all the usual trappings of big-budget disaster and post-apocalyptic movies. If we can even call this a genre at all, it’s still in its infancy, and it hasn’t yet become a Hollywood mainstay that will be endlessly milked for some scratch. Now then, here are some of the best pre-apocalyptic movies that you should at least think about watching before clicking away to rewatch an old episode of Best of the Worst. -

Wired's The Best Sci-fi Movies Everyone Should Watch Once
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Aliens, astronauts, time travel – you name it, there’s a dazzling sci-fi film about it. That makes compiling a list of the best sci-fi nigh on impossible. For one, where do you start? To understand where sci-fi films came from, you need to head back to the dawn of the cinema age. Right at the start of it all, Metropolis, released in 1927, used groundbreaking visuals to create a reference point for all future urban dystopias – it’s no fluke, for example, that the aesthetic of Blade Runner bares more than a passing resemblance to Fritz Lang’s prophetic urban hell-scape. Then along came War of the Worlds (1953), a gripping tale of alien invasion adapted from H.G. Wells’ classic novel. In 1964, Dr. Strangelove did more than most films before or since to ossify the fear of a nuclear holocaust. Then, in 1968, perhaps the most influential sci-fi film of them all: 2001: A Space Odyssey. Say no more. This is Wired's ever evolving selection of the sci-fi movies everyone should watch, starting with something a little obscure but hugely influential. -

TCM Must-See Sci-fi: 50 Movies That Are Out of This World
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. Spanning nine decades and branded by the most trusted authority on film, Must-See Sci-Fi showcases 50 of the most shocking, weird, wonderful, and mind-bending movies ever made. From A Trip to the Moon (1902) to Arrival (2016), science fiction cinema has produced a body of classics with a broader range of styles, stories, and subject matter than perhaps any other film genre. They are movies that embed themselves in the depths of the mind, coloring our view of day-to-day reality and probably fueling a few dreams (and nightmares) along the way. In Must-See Sci-Fi, fifty unforgettable films are profiled, including beloved favorites like The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) and Fantastic Voyage (1966), groundbreaking shockers like Planet of the Apes (1968) and Alien (1979), and lesser-known landmarks like Things to Come (1936) and Solaris (1972). Illustrated by astounding color and black-and-white images, the book presents the best of this mind-bending genre, detailing through insightful commentary and behind-the-scenes stories why each film remains essential viewing. A perfect gift for any film buff or sci-fi fanatic! -

Rolling Stone Top 40 Sci-Fi Movies of the 21st Century
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Ask any science-fiction movie fanatic what their go-to films are, and you’ll get a lot of great answers back: Metropolis, Blade Runner, 2001, The Day the Earth Stood Still, the original Godzilla, The Thing etc. But let’s face it – those answers are so last century. Great sci-fi movies didn’t decide to party like it’s 1999 then call it a day; a host of thrilling, intelligent, offbeat, funny and frightening SF films have hit art houses and multiplexes since Y2K. In 2014, we concocted a list of the Best Sci-Fi Movies of the 21st Century — a quick and dirty survey of the best the genre has had to offer since the millennium’s beginning. More than a few major science-fiction flicks, however – from franchise-expanding blockbusters to arthouse headscratchers – have dropped since then, so it was time for an overhaul and an update. We’ve now expanded our list to 40 titles, to better highlight the best and brightest SF films of our still-new–ish millennium. Some noteworthy favorites of ours just barely missed the cut (very sorry, Alex Rivera’s Sleep Dealer) or some major titles were dinged on quality-control issues. (Avatar may have been a gamechanging film for 3D, but “unobtainium”? Really?!?) We’re confident, however, that there’s a place in the canon for these relative latecomers. -
