7 Great Sci-Fi Movies That You Have To Watch

Coherence

Emily could have had everything that she wanted. She could have been a huge dancing star. She could have been famous and rich. But her decisions made her to lose everything. Now, a dreadful night when the layers of reality are breaking apart and nothings has sense, or coherence, she is in risk to lose the only thing that she still has: her life and sanity.

Be prepared to face an unique experience comprising several parallel universes and realities while suffocating under the weight of paranoia, uncertainty, and fear.

Mindscape

John (Mark Strong, Kick-Ass) is a memory detective. He enters into other people's minds in order to navigate through their memories and to use them as evidence in court.

After a breakdown, caused by his wife's suicide, he is commissioned to help a mysterious teenager who refuses to eat. It seems to be a simple case, but soon John realizes that this girl has an obscure and confusing past. He doesn't know if she is lying or not. He wants to believe her, but all the evidence is against her. Would he be able to help her? Or he will be destroyed in the attempt?

As a side note, Taissa Farmiga stars as Anna, the girl. American Horror fanatics have to watch this!

Predestination

If you like time-travel movies you will find this one delighting.

Ethan Hawke stars as a time-traveler agent who is in a mission to catch one of the most dangerous and demented criminals in all history. He had killed hundreds of people in heinous terrorist attacks and his actions had remained unpunished during several decades. But is he really insane? Or has he a hidden purpose behind these horrible acts?

You will find in this movie paradoxes, suspense, action, an original script and a magnificent acting by its two leads (or is it just one?).

I Origins

Ian (Michael Pitt, Funny Games) is a scientist who investigates the origin and evolution of the eyes. He is fascinated with them; he carries his camera everywhere in order to capture their beautiful and captivating essence. One day, in a party, he meets a mysterious and fascinating woman, but he is only able to see a part of her: her pretty, seductive eyes (she is wearing a mask). She becomes his obsession, and with his only clue available, a picture of her eyes, he will do anything to find her.

I Origins is a beautiful movie that will make you wonder about soul-mates and reincarnation. An alluring soundtrack complements the superb poetical images.

Snowpiercer

Chris Evans is better known for his role in The Nanny Diaries. But in Snowpiercer, he proves that he is not only a pretty face but also, a great and committed actor.

Snowpiercer is a claustrophobic apocalyptic film that takes place in the interior of a train. This vehicle carries the last remaining survivors of the almost-extincted human race. They lived separated in classes. The lower of them had barely access to food or clothes, while the richest enjoy all the pleasures and delights. Chris will lead a revolution that will not only change the order of the social status, but the destiny of mankind.

A full-action-packed film that will make you reflect about human nature and it's core values.

Sound of my Voice

Brittany Marling has become a Sci-Fi darling (she also appears in I Origins). She stars this daunting film that narrates the life of Maggie, a cult leader (Marling). She claims to have arrived from a distant future. She had formed a sect to warn her faithful and blind followers about the terrible future that awaits ahead.

The film is completely ambiguous and likes to play with our expectations, never giving real answers. Or does it? Every conversation and action can be the key to solve this fascinating puzzle.

Give it a try if you like smart movies that will challenge you to think and wonder.

The Man from Earth

What would you do if you meet an immortal man? What would you ask to him? Would you believe him? What if he tell you that he had shaped the course of human race?

I introduce to you, the man from Earth.

This movie is one of the most originals that I have ever seen. If I tell you that this film doesn't have special effects, or that it entirely develops inside a single room, with only middle-aged people talking and discussing without doing anything else, you must think that it is extremely boring, but hat is not the case.

You will remember this film your entire life.
