Science fiction is unlike any other movie genre. There are films that explore outer space and alien civilizations, while others turn inward into the mind. Sci-fi has time travel and post-apocalyptic futures, but also grounded, realistic tales of our world as it exists today. With a genre so vast, it’s hard to narrow down which sci-fi movies are the very best.
Luckily, Metacritic has done the work to figure it out — the site’s algorithm takes a weighted average of critics’ scores and rates films from 1 to 100, with anything over 90 being considered near-perfect. There are only 18 near-perfect sci-fi movies according to Metacritic. Curious as to what they are? Look no further.

What is your favorite Sci-Fi movie of all time?
Alien, Terminator, Blade Runner, Interstellar, Ghost in the shell, Akira, 2001, Back to the future…
Weird list. In no particular order, my top 18 would be:
Arrival
Blade Runner
Dune [2022]
Looper [!]
Edge of Tomorrow
Interstellar
Alien
Aliens
Prometheus
Forbidden Planet
2001
Star Wars
The Matrix
Quatermass and the Pit
The Day the Earth Stood Still
War of the Worlds
Cloud Atlas
Close Encounters
I don't disagree those are the 'near-perfect' sci fi movies of all time. But you forgot the one perfect science fiction movie… 2001: A Space Odyssey. How can 2001 not be included here?!
I fixed the guy Bullock talks to’s laptop in 2008. He died a few years ago.
E.T. definitely deserves its place on the list if, for nothing else, for the joke:
What do you call an alien with 3 balls?
E.T. The Extra Testicle
I would have included 1978s version of Invasion of the body snatchers and also ExMachina
Forbidden Planet? Bladerunner? 2001? Alien?
The Truman Show…
Fury Road is garbage. Mad Max is great
None of those movies, except maybe Gravity, are scientific I mean, how many of these have spaceships that "whoosh" by at about 40 miles per hour and bank for a turn? If you want to see science fiction, look to
"2010: The Year We Make Contact" another good choice is "Nausicaa" from Studio Ghibli.
"Avatar" explores science and environment.
Isaac Asimov reportedly said that Sci-Fi (pronounced "skiffy") is the plural of SCUM FUM.
No way in hell does Fury Dump belong anywhere near the other movies noted here. The paper thin plot of turning around and going back to certain death makes no sense on any level. This was also reflected on the rest of the audience when the movie ended and no one was happy about what they just sat through for nothing.
2001 A Space Odyssey. Was it too hip for the room? The 1953 version of the Day The Earth Stood Still is supplanted by Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Who are you kidding?
This review is so lame.
Alien, Aliens, Gravity, Edge of Tomorrow, E.T., Close Encounters, Thor Ragnarok (yes, it's sci-fi), Children of Men, 12 Monkeys, and Guardians of the Galaxy, are all near perfect in my eyes, but the best is "Minority Report".
Star Wars is GARBAGE. So is ET. Technology is not a reason to rate a Sci-fi movie highly.
Fury Road isn't even the best Mad Max
Where can I watch 'its such a beautiful day'? Can't find it anywhere
Star wars sucks, and it's not science fiction. It is space Opera, and it is boring.
Horrible list! Solaris???? Clearly you watch movies and not films. If you as yet do not know the difference you should not upload……ever. Retro: War of the worlds the original. Andromeda strain. Mid 20s: Terminator etc.
I dont care what anyone says, close encounters was shit
The sad thing about Gravity is viewers will never really grasp the amazing visual aspect of this movie if it's not viewed in 3D in a theater. Seeing this at home does not do justice to this movie.
This video started with a whiskey short.. what happened with that? It was very interesting. The volume was like over the top, but I want to know more.
Archive was pretty awesome!
Gravity?!?
Seriously?!?
Near perfect?!?
-.-
Seen six of that list.
THINGS TO COME (1936)
That is a difficult one omg can't make even a top 20 as i like so many. Most that i like are space sci fi. Martian i can keep watching over and over because is so close to possible but then again as i said so many to chose from and depending on the mood i am in 🙂
Gravity is the most overrated movie of all time
You know "a quantum leap" is just an electron shifting to a different orbit around its atom's nucleus, yes?
Solaris? It's perfect, alright. Perfect as the cure for insomnia.
List , of course is trash…
Gravity?
This list is made by pseudo intelectuals "critics" who never had the Change of seing a Masterpiece of a film on is debut in a Theatre Big screen full of people and see, hear and feel their true reactions.
This " critics" never felt the real suspense,terror and antecipation of a Masterpiece like ALIEN.
By the way,what is this " metacritic" BS…??!!!!
An huge disappoiting for Start.
Mad max is not sci fi
ALL THESE OLD MOVIES????????? THese people be crazy
