In 2024, many good science fiction films were released. Not all can boast a bloated budget or a golden cast; some bet not on aliens but on people, exploring complex but always relevant themes. But, of course, there was also expensive action, space tr...
Main Sci-Fi Parable of 2024
" Dune: Part Two »
Denis Villeneuve and the team led by Timothée Chalamet continue to explore the mysteries of sand and what it means to be chosen in the continuation of the epic science fiction film — an adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel of the same name.
The Kindest and Most Human Sci-Fi of 2024
"The Alien"
The works of the famous sci-fi writer Clifford Simak are often called social fiction and humanistic sci-fi, because at the center of his plots are ordinary people who find themselves in fantastic situations. His themes are humanism, love of nature, strength of spirit, faith in man and a bright future.
In Russian cinema, it seems, its own Clifford Simak has appeared — Ivan Sosnin. "The Alien" is the kindest sci-fi, telling about what it means to be human. There is a lot of nature, faith in the future and silence here. Even the Russian chthonic looks pleasant in the film. And there are also insanely beautiful views.
A Sci-Fi Franchise That Lived Up to Expectations
"A Quiet Place: Day One"
A good continuation of the famous sci-fi universe created by John Krasinski. Of course, not without rough edges, but with charming heroes and a survivalist cat.
The Main Russian Sci-Fi Chthonic of 2024
" Contacts "
If Steven Spielberg had decided to make "E.T." in Russia, he still wouldn't have been able to do it as naturalistically as Dmitry Moiseev did. A domestic sci-fi where experiments are (still) conducted on aliens, mercy and compassion are (still) not in trend, and it's easier for people to find a common language with an alien than with each other.
The Main Sci-Fi Drama of 2024
"Time Error. Multiverse" (translated from English "Parallel Spaces")
An intimate drama with three actors, two of whom are brothers both on screen and in real life. The theme of multiverses as a way to tell a deep family drama.
The Main Space Madness of 2024
"Slingshot"
Including "Alien: Romulus" here would be bad form (and generally not very appropriate), and there seem to be no other worthy candidates. "Slingshot" is a pretty good sci-fi about a space mission that gradually drives Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburne crazy.
The Main Post-Apocalypse of 2024
" Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga »
George Miller may be old, but he's still game. The film doesn't bring anything new to the franchise except for the steel Anya Taylor-Joy and the crazy Chris Hemsworth. But the world of Mad Max is still attractive in its chaos and lawlessness.
The Main Space Rom-Com of 2024
"Space Cadet"
If "Passengers" with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence were simpler and sweeter. The duo of Anthony Mackie and Zoë Chao will charm you with their naivety.
The Main Sci-Fi Animation of 2024
" Mars Express »
A cyberpunk detective with beautiful visuals and evergreen sci-fi themes, filled with references to iconic science fiction films of all time and nations.
The Most Heartfelt Sci-Fi Animation of 2024
" The Wild Robot »
Without further ado — the most touching cartoon not only of this year, but of many years. Keep your tissues close.
For Those Interested in Eastern Sci-Fi
"The Alien Mission"
This list could have included "" — a quite decent addition to Ridley Scott's universe, although it doesn't bring anything innovative or unexpected to the world of xenomorphs and facehuggers. But it's much more interesting to mention the Chinese sci-fi about space monsters, clearly inspired by the ideas of the great grandfather.
'Alien: Romulus' is a real gift and attraction for all fans of the franchise. The film successfully combines nostalgia and modern horror elements, creating a tense and atmospheric
Open materialP.S. When you see the film's graphics, make allowances that the East is a delicate matter.
The Main Sci-Fi About AI in 2024
"Artificial Justice"
A story about how justice (like almost everything in our world) is a relative thing that should not be entrusted to artificial intelligence.
The Main Sci-Fi About Time Travel in 2024
"The Fringe of the Future"
A new version of "The Butterfly Effect", only not as cruel and more scientifically grounded (as much as it can be grounded at all).
Sci-Fi About How We Will Have Children
"The Assessment"
One version of the future where, to have a child, you have to survive a seven-day nightmare in reality. Starring Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen.
