Entertainment

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. Often times, the two are combined, with aliens visiting our planet&nbsp;or by having&nbsp;earthlings journey to another planet. Audiences have long enjoyed the speculative nature of sci-fi - the way it imagines amazing scientific breakthroughs, futuristic societies, interstellar battles, and more. 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&#39;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 &quot;classic&quot; status.&nbsp;

Geeking Out: Star Wars

There are more celebrity&nbsp;cameos in Star Wars&nbsp;than there are droids in&nbsp;Attack of the Clones. Okay, maybe not&nbsp;that&nbsp;many, but the sheer number of celebrities who appeared in Star Wars films could form a small but surprisingly famous Rebel Alliance. Since the original&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;never intended to become a phenomenon, the first trilogy features few, if any,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hidden-celebrity-cameos-you-missed/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">Star Wars&nbsp;celebrity cameos</a>. However, when the series made its return in 1999 with&nbsp;The Phantom Menace&nbsp;(which you can <a href="https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/c/1217251/707629/9358?subid1=2652208&amp;subid2=Disney%2B&amp;subid3=comlink&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2F" target="_blank">stream on Disney+</a>), it had enough clout to feature a few more cameo appearances. George Lucas appears to be a rather generous fellow, letting not just actors make appearances in&nbsp;Star Wars,&nbsp;but also his film crew, their family members, and even Lucas&#39;s own son and daughters. By the time The Last Jedi&nbsp;arrived in December&nbsp;2017, celebrity cameos in <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stormtrooper-cameos-sw-universe/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">Star Wars reached royal levels of celebrity</a>. Not hyperbolic royalty, actual&nbsp;royalty -&nbsp;two&nbsp;princes appear in the film.

The best celebrity cameos in Star Wars lie below, each more surprising than the last. Academy Award winners, comedians, and even directors pop up in all manner of setting and species, some looking so alien you fail to recognize them. But finding celebrities in Star Wars is simply another <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-easter-eggs/destiny-a-lopez" target="_blank">Easter egg of the Star Wars franchise</a>. Impressive, it is.

Few characters in all of fiction have had their life story told as thoroughly as Anakin Skywalker, but the official Darth Vader timeline still has plenty of gaps in it. Unless one has delved into the extended lore of Star Wars - the novels, the comics, the video games, and more - they likely have little idea what happened to Darth Vader after Revenge of the Sith but before A New Hope, and that alone represents nearly two decades of the Sith Lord&rsquo;s physical existence.

As any good supplementary material should, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/badass-darth-vader-extended-universe-moments/aaron-edwards" target="_blank">Vader&rsquo;s extended universe content</a> only serves to deepen and expand upon his persona. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/darth-vader-is-hilariously-extra/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Some of Vader&rsquo;s best moments</a> have come off-screen and between movies, and while it&rsquo;s not required reading in order to appreciate the character, it is necessary if one wants to fully understand him - lest he find your lack of detailed knowledge disturbing.

Science fiction is one of those genres that consistently produce fantastic, well-written movies that fail to gain an audience. Then, after some time, they become cult classics. Of course, that&#39;s the case for many sci-fi movies, but then there are your&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;movies,&nbsp;Star Trek, Stargate... anything with &quot;star&quot; in the title, and much more. Some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-sci-fi-movies" target="_blank">best films of all time are sci-fi</a>, including&nbsp;E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, The Empire Strikes Back,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Alien​​​​​​.

They may seem like little-effort&nbsp;popcorn flicks targeting easy money, and while there&#39;s undoubtedly some of that in the genre, most good science fiction films have a lot going on that fans know little to nothing about. No matter how many times you watch&nbsp;The Terminator, The Matrix,&nbsp;or&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/firsthand-depictions-of-80s-stars/ivey-nucilli?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Back to the Future</a> trilogy, you&#39;re not going to know everything there is to know about the films... unless you worked on them. Even then, there are probably a few things you didn&#39;t know about famous sci-fi flicks!

This list features some of the most interesting nuances of the very best science fiction movies ever made. Whether it&#39;s about the actors playing a hero or about the production itself, odds are, even the most ardent sci-fi movie fan won&#39;t know it all.

From the most hated character in the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;franchise to becoming one of the biggest fan favorites of all time, Ahsoka Tano has paid her dues in a galaxy far, far away. First appearing in&nbsp;Star Wars: The Clone Wars&nbsp;animated film and series back in 2008 as Anakin Skywalker&#39;s padawan, she was met with a fair bit of resistance before winning over the hearts of&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;fans across every demographic when she left the Jedi Order during the Season 5 finale.

The best alien movies, ranked by fans of space and sci-fi genres. Famous alien related movies can take several forms. What are the best alien movies? Many films about extraterrestrials,&nbsp;alien&nbsp;themed&nbsp;abductions, or visitors from other planets turn them into traditional horror villains. These &quot;alien war&quot; movies tend to follow a simple pattern: 1) UFOs arrive on Earth, 2) a misunderstanding or outright evil intent sparks a war between aliens and humanity, 3) with massively destructive and terrifying results.

Whether the movies are funny, scary, or totally crazy, there are plenty of parallels to be found between them. Consider the similarities of&nbsp;Battle: LA, Steven Spielberg&#39;s War of the Worlds, and even Tim Burton&#39;s genre parody, Mars Attacks. However, there are also films in which aliens are not an interstellar threat but a boon to humanity, or at least well-intentioned explorers like Arrival. E.T. is the classic example of the &quot;friendly alien&quot; genre &ndash; and the xenomorphs in the Alien franchise stay in outer space, so that&#39;s good for humans, too. E.T. is also one of the best alien <a href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/kids-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">kids movies</a> ever made.

What are the best alien films of all time? Often in these films, the aliens are tragically misunderstood, and it&#39;s the primal nature of human beings that spark conflict. Finally, there are numerous films about aliens which attempt to &quot;realistically&quot; depict what might happen if humans and extraterrestrials interacted. These include Close Encounters of the Third Kind (another Spielberg film!), District 9, and even abduction films purportedly based on &quot;true stories,&quot; such as Fire in the Sky. All-in-all this is far more than just a top 10 list of the best alien movies.

While this list does not include all alien movies ever made, it is a list of the best alien films. What do you think are the greatest alien movies of all time? Vote up the good alien movies you&#39;d watch over and over, and vote down&nbsp;the ones that aren&#39;t worth your time.

Instead of only making up a story, they make up entire universes, time dimensions, alien technologies - it's really incredible. Truth be told, some are more successful than others - it is really easy to write bad scifi. But those who can actually pull the genre off are right here on this list of the top science-fiction authors. These are the best science-fiction authors of all time, ranked by readers and fans. This list include some highly recognizable and classic names, like Isaac Asimov and George Orwell, along with some contemporary science-fiction writers who are just beginning to make their mark on the genre. This list of the best sci-fi authors includes some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-horror-novelists">best horror writers</a> and the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-fantasy-authors">best fantasy authors</a>, but since the genres elements all go together nicely, it's to be expected.

Disagree with a choice? Vote it down. The aforementioned (brilliant) writers are responsible for some of the best science-fiction novels and series of all time - but other sci-fi writers like Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451), Mary Shelley (Frankenstein), Robert Louis Stevenson (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), and Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) are excellent sci-fi writers as well. All of these authors, in my opinion, deserve a place of honor on this list.Hopefully, this list will grow and become totally comprehensive. Readers who are new to sci-fi can use it as a great guide to find new science fiction authors and books.

Trek Life

This is a list of all Star Trek movies, ranked best to worst by fans, casual critics, and people like you. This votable list includes every Star Trek&nbsp;film to date. Certainly, several Star Trek&nbsp;films could be considered among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-space-movies/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">best space movies</a>. Which one is the greatest ever made? That&#39;s decided by voters, so be sure to cast your vote up or down for each film listed. Trekkies, this one&#39;s for you. Also: You can re-rank this list of great Star Trek&nbsp;films in any order you want.

Generally speaking, many Star Trek&nbsp;fans consider 1982&#39;s <a href="/list/star-trek-ii-the-wrath-of-khan-cast-and-actors-in-this-movie/reference" target="_blank">Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan</a>&nbsp;to be one of the best, if not *the* greatest Star Trek&nbsp;movie ever made. It&#39;s hard to deny that this film isn&#39;t awesome, with battles between the crew of the starship Enterprise&nbsp;and the evil Khan Noonien Singh.

The Star Trek&nbsp;movie franchise has enjoyed a revival, thanks in large part to J.J. Abrams&#39;s 2009 movie Star Trek&nbsp;and 2013&#39;s Star Trek Into Darkness.&nbsp;Where should these modern era Star Trek&nbsp;movies fall in comparison to the classics? Are they also among the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-sci-fi-movies" target="_blank">greatest sci-fi movies</a> of all time? History will ultimately decide, but for now, you can - by voting!
