Sci-Fi

Modern science fiction movies provide&nbsp;audiences with a wide range of subject matter. The genre offers a lot of flexibility, as it is capable of telling stories set on Earth or in outer space.

It taps directly into our collective imagination.The best new sci-fi films have continued this tradition. The genre has benefited from modern advancements in special effects technology. As CGI becomes more and more sophisticated, it's possible for movies to take on bigger ideas and to depict astonishing sights with more authenticity than ever before. Consequently, a couple of the more recent sci-fi movies have already come close to achieving "classic" status.&nbsp;Vote up your favorites from this list of new sci-fi movies.

Power Rangers (FOX Kids)

Like many '90s kids, you might find yourself occasionally wondering "<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/where-are-they-now-power-rangers/shamus-kelley">Where are the Power Rangers now</a>?" They've become a phenomenon spanning generations, but it all started with the mid-'90s&nbsp;Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Back in the day, the young actors who played the Power Rangers were actually a pretty tightknit group (though, there were some <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-show-behind-the-scenes-feuds/nikoberi">behind-the-scenes shenanigans</a>), and a few remain so to this day.

He was somewhat of an enigmatic character, in fact -&nbsp;both devoutly Christian and an MMA fighter -&nbsp;and if you're a frequent Comic-Con attendee, you might very well have seen him displaying his karate moves at some point.&nbsp;Here's a ton of crazy stuff you almost certainly didn't know about Jason David Frank, the original Green Ranger.

America's Forgotten History

Jeopardy!

American history - relatively speaking, there's not that much of it, right? As far as the timeline of world civilizations goes, the United States is pretty young. Maybe that's why a lot of people really enjoy learning <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-american-eras/jacob-shelton">American history</a> in school. It's accessible, and the names and events are familiar.&nbsp;Well, that's what we thought, but then we looked at all the different questions (or answers, depending on how technical you want to get) about US history that appear on Jeopardy! and realized there's a whole lot more than what was in our textbooks. The number of things <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jeopardy-questions-that-stumped-best-players/damon-davis">Jeopardy! questions</a> brought to light about the history of the US are truly remarkable.&nbsp;Here's a selection of questions about American history that have been asked on Jeopardy! that make all of those history tests we took in school look easy.

Science fiction has always been something of a gamble for film studios. While there have been some epic films like&nbsp;2001: A Space Odyssey, for the most part, the genre is filled with a smattering of good movies, duds, and financial disasters. The biggest problem with sci-fi isn't that the movies aren't amazing; it's that the films tend to garner fan support from a niche community. When that happens, movies that are generally perceived as being bad because of their box office performance&nbsp;aren't bad at all.These sci-fi films have received generally poor reviews or had a terrible showing at the box office when they first hit theaters. Despite this, they are beloved by fans all across the world. For this list, only films that have a 69% or lower on Rotten Tomatoes are considered. Vote up the films worth a rewatch!

Ridley Scott’s 1982 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-dystopian-and-near-future-sci-fi-flicks">dystopian science fiction</a>&nbsp;film Blade Runner&nbsp;is widely regarded as one of the great tonal masterpieces of the 20th century. It’s a detective story that investigates what it means to be human, and only provides the audience with ambiguous answers. Despite having a stellar cast, breathtaking visuals, and&nbsp;one of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-scores-of-all-time">greatest scores of all time</a>, stories about making Blade Runner tell of a production plagued with chaos and on-set tension.&nbsp;The movie's hectic post-production schedule lasted 20 years, and ultimately spawned&nbsp;all the crazy versions of Blade Runner you can see today. Even in Blade Runner’s weakest cuts, the film is still a fascinating blend of&nbsp;science fiction and&nbsp;Raymond Chandleresque&nbsp;noir.&nbsp;These Blade Runner behind-the-scenes stories shine some light on the turbulent process that gave viewers so many different versions of the film to choose from, and they might even provide some answers to the film’s most enduring questions.

But have you watched the 1998 Blade Runner sequel?The movie Soldier, from director Paul W. S. Anderson and Blade Runner co-writer David Peoples, was envisioned as a "side-sequel" to Scott's movie. The adventures of Kurt Russell's Sgt. Todd were meant to exist in the same fictional universe, and the movie supposedly explored the lives of replicant soldiers in the off-world colonies. The result of that plan is a &nbsp;a bizarre sci-fi movie that could only come from a truly misguided notion.&nbsp;

As far as <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mel-brooks-movies-behind-the-scenes-v1/armani-barron" target="_blank">Mel Brooks</a> comedies go, 1987&#39;s&nbsp;Spaceballs&nbsp;is usually ranked among the likes of&nbsp;Blazing Saddles,&nbsp;The Producers, and&nbsp;Young Frankenstein&nbsp;as among his best. It combines an all-star cast of comedic actors&nbsp;with Brooks&#39;s signature joke-a-minute sensibility to parody not just&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;but the entire <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-sci-fi-comedy-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">science fiction genre</a>.&nbsp;

But while&nbsp;Spaceballs&nbsp;is regarded as a great comedy, it&#39;s also an impressive technical achievement. Brooks wanted the special effects in&nbsp;Spaceballs&nbsp;to be as good as the ones from the movies he was parodying; to achieve this, he hired the same people who made those effects: George Lucas&#39;s Industrial Light and Magic team.

An alien who imbibes, eats cats, and otherwise&nbsp;shakes up a suburban American family doesn't necessarily sound like family-friendly viewing. For four seasons in the late '80s, that series was brought to reality through&nbsp;ALF. It took a season to find its audience, but when people caught on, it&nbsp;was a massive hit. However, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://https://www.ranker.com/list/weirdest-parts-of-drop-dead-fred/tamara-jude">ALF&nbsp;had a dark streak</a>, and the fact that a lot of young people gravitated to the sarcastic, hip alien puppet did not&nbsp;help it stick around.&nbsp;Like a lot of dark entertainment aimed at young people,&nbsp;ALF&nbsp;constantly wrestled with unsettling topics while doing its best to be a family-friendly sitcom.

Mars

Appearing in cycles, depending on its location relative to our own planet, Mars is often one of the brightest objects in the night sky. As such, it has long fascinated astronomers, stargazers, and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-science-fiction-authors-v1?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">science fiction writers</a>. In the 1950s, when <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-alien-invasion-movies-list/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">alien invasion movies</a> were big business, Mars was the default place to have your bug-eyed monsters come from, to such an extent that &quot;Martian&quot; became a catch-all term for just about any alien.

As one of the closest planets to Earth, Mars was bound to be the setting for any number of science fiction films. Indeed, movies about trips to the red planet are almost as old as the artform of cinema itself. One of the earliest cinematic depictions of Mars comes in a four-minute short subject from 1910 called&nbsp;A Trip to Mars, which depicts a man using &quot;antigravity powder&quot; to fly to the red planet, where he encounters unfriendly Martians. Years later, we&#39;ve sent uncrewed flights to Mars&nbsp;and gotten a look at its surface thanks to rovers, but we&#39;re still making movies about what dangers might be waiting for us when we finally step onto the red planet for the first time...
