10 Great Video Games Inspired by Alice in Wonderland
15. Edge of Tomorrow
Edge of Tomorrow turns the time-loop gimmick into one of the smartest and most addictive sci-fi action films out there. Tom Cruise keeps dying, Emily Blunt keeps owning the screen, and somehow each repeat is more fun than the last. | © Warner Bros. Pictures
14. The Fifth Element
The Fifth Element is loud, weird, and absolutely one of a kind, a space opera where fashion, aliens, and Bruce Willis all collide in the name of saving the world. It’s sci-fi at its most colorful and chaotic, and somehow, it works brilliantly. | © Columbia Pictures
13. Dune
Dune: Part One trades explosions for atmosphere, giving us a slow-burning epic that feels more like a vision than a blockbuster. It’s massive, strange, and hypnotic, a sci-fi world that dares you to sit still and take it all in. | © Warner Bros. Pictures
12. Coherence
Coherence turns one dinner party, a power outage, and a passing comet into a reality-bending spiral that’ll mess with your head. Shot on a shoestring and driven by improvisation, it proves that great sci-fi doesn’t need effects, just ideas that get under your skin. | © Oscilloscope Pictures
11. RoboCop
RoboCop delivers brutal '80s action wrapped around one of sci-fi’s most haunting questions - what's left of you when everything is taken away? Underneath the gunfire and satire, it’s the story of a man who remembers who he is after the system tries to erase him. | © Orion Pictures
10. District 9
District 9 flips the alien invasion story on its head - the humans are the problem, and the aliens are the ones just trying to survive. Smart, gritty, and uncomfortably close to real-world history, it’s sci-fi that actually says something. | © Sony Pictures Entertainment
9. The Terminator
The Terminator isn’t just a sci-fi thriller; this movie is a relentless, low-budget nightmare with no wasted breath and no safe moment. Long before the franchise turned into a blockbuster spectacle, this was a lean, terrifying story about inevitability, fate, and a machine that absolutely will not stop. | © Orion Pictures
8. Children of Men
Children of Men imagines a future with no hope, and then makes you feel every second of it like it’s happening outside your window. With raw performances and some of the most intense long takes ever filmed, it’s less a movie and more a gut punch in real time. | © Universal Studios
7. Ex Machina
Ex Machina is a mind game wrapped in glass walls and soft-spoken lies, where every smile might be a strategy. By the time you realise who’s pulling the strings, the experiment is already over, and you were part of it. | © A24
6. Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell dives headfirst into questions about identity, memory, and what it means to be alive, all through the lens of a cybernetic cop chasing a rogue AI. Dense, stylish, and years ahead of its time, it helped shape the future of sci-fi as we know it. | © Paramount Pictures
5. Star Wars: A New Hope
Star Wars: A New Hope launched one of the most iconic universes in film, combining space battles, sword fights, and a classic hero’s journey into something new. It may have started in 1977, but its impact is still everywhere, from Darth Vader’s breath to that opening crawl. | © 20th Century Studios
4. Alien
Alien took sci-fi horror to a whole new level by being slow, claustrophobic, and relentless. With a terrifying creature, airtight suspense, and Sigourney Weaver holding it all together, this movie rewrote the rules for space thrillers. | © 20th Century Studios
3. The Matrix
The Matrix flipped the script with one of the greatest twists in sci-fi: your reality isn’t real, and the truth is far more terrifying. It’s sleek, brutal, philosophical, and so tightly built that it made every sequel feel like a betrayal of the original's clarity. | © Warner Bros. Pictures
2. Blade Runner
Blade Runner set the tone for what cyberpunk would look and feel like long before the genre had a name. Underneath the neon and rain, it quietly asks what makes us human and whether the answer even matters when the ones asking the question aren’t. | © Warner Bros. Pictures
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey isn’t just a sci-fi film; it completely redefined what movies could be. With groundbreaking visuals, eerie silence, and a story that spans from apes to artificial intelligence, this is the blueprint for every serious sci-fi that came after. | © Warner Bros. Pictures
