What are the best science fiction movies of the 21st century? So far, anyhow? Well, Indie Wire has a list that may have some surprises. Of course on the list are some usual suspects like Minority Report, Snowpiercer, and WALL-E, but the list also sports some movies you may not have seen, like Coherence, Memoria, and Hard to Be a God. Here’s more from Indie Wire:
Hard to Be a God
Late Russian director Aleksei German put one of the better arthouse twists on the sci-fi genre with a film that dared to ask, “What would you do in God’s place?” A group of research scientists is sent on a mission to a planet nearly identical to Earth, but where the inhabitants live in an oppressive society that invokes the Middle Ages. As scientists, the men are forbidden to interfere, but when Don Rumata (played by great Leonid Yarmolnik) is recognized as a futuristic god, he’s driven by a need to save a group of local intellectuals from a murderous tyrant.
German created a bleak world (even by Russian standards), but it’s also a wandering, visually rich, and cinematically exciting journey that takes advantage of sci-fi’s ability to ask some deep questions and deliver devastating political commentary.
