Once upon a time, science fiction was considered lame. But now, it's totally lit! In fact, it's so cool that even the biggest haters are starting to come around. And why not? Sci-fi movies can be about anything, from alien invasions to time travel. They can make you think about the future, or they can just be plain fun. So if you're looking for a good time, check out a sci-fi movie. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

 

1. Independence Day (1996)

Independence Day is a cheesy, noisy, and in-your-face movie, but it's also a lot of fun. Director Roland Emmerich may not be as subtle as Paul Verhoeven, but he does have the balls to blow up the White House and show the American government getting its ass kicked by aliens. Plus, Independence Day features a major black character who's not a sidekick or comic relief, and Jeff Goldblum's final walk across the flaming desert is the coolest thing ever.

Dune is a sci-fi doorstopper that was long thought to be unadaptable, but Denis Villeneuve finally cracked it. His adaptation is luscious-looking and reverently handles the source material, while also delivering a thinky yet action-packed epic.Instead of boring us with exposition, Villeneuve shows us the world of Dune through gripping action sequences and detailed characters. He also leaves some things mysterious, which adds to the ominous and eerie atmosphere. It's all very stylish, but there's also substance to it.
