Release Date–November 8, 2005
IMDb Rating- 6.3
Rotten Tomatoes- 76%

Characters becoming engrossed in video games or board games was popular for a while in the film business. While Jumanji was a pioneer in this genre, Zathura: A Space Adventure was the film that elevated it to a new level. The main characters of this film are two young children who, upon discovering the board game Zathura, were instantly transported into space. In order to complete the game and return home, they must combat time and aliens, with every decision they make in the game having consequences in real life.

2. All of everything at once, everywhere

In the Sci-Fi category, Everything Everywhere All at Once has a high rating for 2023. The main character of this film is Evelyn Wang, a regular lady who is not happy with her life.

Give this movie your whole attention since it's like riding a rollercoaster.

3. The Adam ProjectPhoto Credit: IMDb

Release Date– March 9, 2022

IMDb Rating- 6.7

Rotten Tomatoes- 68%

Unquestionably, one of my all-time favorite science fiction films is The Adam Project. I can watch this movie many times and still find it enjoyable. In the Adam project, Ryan Reynolds plays Adam, the main character who travels back in time to find his wife who has vanished and meets his younger self, leading to an emotional and exhilarating journey. Walker Scobell captures young Ryan's charm flawlessly, while Ryan Reynolds is endearing as ever. You should see this movie, and once you do, you won't be able to stop.

4. The battleship

Release Date– May 18, 2012
IMDb Rating- 5.8
Rotten Tomatoes- 34%

This movie will convince you to enroll as soon as possible if you are a lover of the Navy. In the alien invasion film Battleship, a fleet of navy battleships and the fleets of other nations participate in a joint yearly drill. But this drill is cut short when some extraterrestrial invaders ensnare these spacecraft in a force field and compel them to fight them. Although it is far from the actual thing, this movie does a fantastic job of depicting naval battle, and the level of intensity it achieves is unbelievable.

5. The Sky at Night

Release Date– December 9, 2020
IMDb Rating- 5.7
Rotten Tomatoes- 49%

In the postapocalyptic science fiction film The Midnight Sky, Earth is about to perish as a result of an unexplained disaster that renders the world uninhabitable. Nonetheless, a group of astronauts who have found a livable world and are making their way back home are unaware that their planet has perished.When a scientist by the name of Augustine Lofthouse learns that this spacecraft is returning to Earth, he decides to risk his life to ensure that they do so in order to save the lives of all on board. Augustine refused to leave his research station in the Arctic. Though the reviews for The Midnight Sky were a little divided, I believe it's a worthwhile watch.

6. The Power Project

The main narrative of Project Power revolves on superpowers, something that virtually everyone has fantasized about possessing at some point. The main focus of this film is a newly popular narcotic on New Orleans' streets. The substance is a tablet known as "Power," which, for five minutes, gives anybody unexpected abilities. Drug traffickers are selling these pills for free, which is causing chaos to spread across the city. Finding the person responsible for this substance is a top priority for "The Major," a guy who goes by that moniker, and yes, it is personal.

7. Los Angeles, the Battle

I promise that after viewing Battle Los Angeles, if you have been considering enlisting in the Marines, you will run to the recruiter's office. Among the most realistic alien invasion films I have ever seen is certainly Battle Los Angeles. Now, when I say realistic, I'm not referring about aliens; rather, I'm talking about how human defensive forces respond to it. You will be gripped from the very first to the very last moment by the excellent action scenes.

Badland Hunters

Seoul becomes a vast wasteland after a powerful earthquake strikes the city. People hardly have enough food to survive in this harsh environment. A huntsman by the name of Nam-San embarks on a perilous quest to free a young girl who has been kidnapped and imprisoned by a crazy doctor and a group of cultists in the middle of all of this. Action abounds in this film, which is well worth your time.

9. Enhancement

Following a serious accident, Grey Trace's wife passes away tragically, leaving him paraplegic from the neck down. He is sinking into self-loathing and melancholy until an inventor offers him a chance to rise above it all by implanting an AI chip called STEM in his neck. Grey gets the implant since he has nothing left to lose. He quickly learns that the chip offers him superhuman strength and speed in addition to making walking possible again. Equipped with his newfound abilities, he embarked on a quest to exact revenge on those responsible for his wife's death.

The World's Rim

Release Date– May 24, 2019
IMDb Rating- 5.2
Rotten Tomatoes- 29%

Once again, an extraterrestrial invasion is the plot of Rim of the World, but instead of a military fleet or enormous mech suits, the protagonists are a group of twelve-year-old children. The Earth's defenses are rendered obsolete by an extraterrestrial invasion. But some children find a key that may open a weaponry system that destroys the alien mothership. In this film, a deadly extraterrestrial pursues young children as they set out to save Earth. Although this movie may not seem all that appetizing, I assure you that it is the most enjoyable one available. So trust me and give it your all. Believe me when I say that it will be worthwhile.

11. Atlas

Release Date- May 24, 2024
IMDb rating- 5.6
Rotten Tomatoes- 17%

Jennifer Lopez was piloting a highly armed mech suit on an extraterrestrial planet in one of the most recent science fiction films. Atlas launched not too long ago, and it bore a remarkable resemblance to the immensely famous computer game Titanfall 2. In this film, Jeniffer Lopez plays the character Atlas, who is sent on a mission to track down AI terrorist Harlem, who is out to wipe out humanity. Atlas is battling him with her mech suit, Smith. Despite having a rather ordinary narrative and nothing particularly noteworthy, you may nevertheless enjoy viewing this film.

12. Air

I would advise you to avoid Oxygen if you suffer from claustrophobia. In this film, Liz Hansen plays a lady who is imprisoned in a cryogenic cell and has no memory of how she got there. She is not alone, however, since M.I.L.O., a very sophisticated AI, keeps her company. With just shards of her memory remaining, she has to find a way out of this chamber before her allotted ninety minutes of oxygen run out. Will she have enough time to get there?

Spaceman

Release Date– February 23, 2024
IMDb Rating- 5.7
Rotten Tomatoes- 49%

In this newly released film, Adam Sandler plays a really serious character. You may be a little offended at first to see him in a serious part rather than one of his comedic ones. But Adam has done a rather good job in this capacity. Spaceman centers on Sandler's character, an astronaut sent to investigate an incident. But while he's on his mission, he begins to feel homesick, and then all of a sudden, a massive spider shows up on his spacecraft and starts talking to him, offering him emotional support. You should see this movie at least once since it's a unique experience.

14. Pixels

Release Date– July 24, 2015
IMDb Rating- 5.6
Rotten Tomatoes- 18%

Do you recall the classic arcade titles like Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong? What if they suddenly come to life one day as villains seeking to rule our world rather than as heroes? This same scene is seen in the movie Pixels. Records of these arcade games that humanity had blasted into space are discovered by an extraterrestrial culture. These records are weaponized by those aliens because they see them as a threat. Humanity looks to three former arcade champions to defend them from the oncoming destruction caused by these weaponized games when they invade Earth.

15. The End of the World

In the classic alien invasion film Extinction, a man has simultaneous nightmares of an invasion that he is virtually certain will occur. His wife and all of his pals don't think anything like this is possible. Eventually, an invasion did occur, although it was not really carried out by aliens. The movie's premise wasn't too horrible, in my opinion, but the execution of it seemed hurried, which detracted from the whole experience. Now, if all you're looking for to watch anything for fun, you may watch and enjoy it; it's not really a bad movie.
