I know a lot of people are always asking about good sci-fi movies, and it seems like there just aren't enough of them. Luckily, I have watched a shit load of movies and here's some that I would recommend and short reviews from memory without any spoilers. Yeah I used a list of movies. This will be sectioned by year so I'll seperate each post by a couple of years, starting from the present going back in time. Each movie is tagged with what kind of sci-fi it is.
