Bizarre Creatures that Would Look Totally Normal In a Sci-Fi Movie
When people think about all the different animals that have been discovered on Earth, it's hard to pin down a standard "earth look" that we should expect of creatures. That being said, we definitely can tell when an animal looks alien to us.
Ossiana TepfenhartPublished 7 years ago in FuturismGreatest Science Fiction One-on-One Battles Ever...and Their Spoofs!
When they engaged me to do a piece on Greatest Science Fiction Battles, I was not only honored but sweaty with fear. I eyeballed my anxiety meds, but knew that wasn't the answer. Rather, I asked for an extra shot of espresso in my coffee then texted a friend to chew her fingernails as my surrogate, since mine were cut too short, and then I asked for proof via Instagram that she was doing it (but she ignored me).

With Star Wars: The Last Jedi fast approaching, it is clear that the Star Wars universe will be expanding and growing in the next years to come. However, for many growing up in the 80s and 90s in the aftermath of Return of the Jedi, the future of the Galaxy Far, Far Away looked far less than glamorous.
Anthony GramugliaPublished 7 years ago in Futurism6 of the Best "Worst" Science Fiction Movies You'll Ever See
It's a passion we share, you and I. Low quality science fiction films, movies so bad that they're fun to watch, mock, and over time, come to love intensely. It's the reason you're here.
Matt CatesPublished 7 years ago in FuturismSci-Fi Frenemies You Love to Hate
Science fiction is full of rivalries, of enemies, of villains, but frenemies--the sort of characters who are at once friend and foe--are less common. It is hard to find two characters who are at once locked in combat and embroiled in passionate friendship.
Anthony GramugliaPublished 7 years ago in FuturismWeird Scientific Theories Proposed in Science Fiction
Science fiction can be wacky, especially when weird theories about existence get thrown into the mix. Some sci-fi prides itself on its grounded adherence to scientific law. Hard sci-fi, as it is sometimes called, obeys the laws of theoretical physics (think the Mars Trilogy, Moon, or, recently, Arrival). Other times, writers play fast and quick with the laws, don't explain what is happening, and hope that the audience will suspend disbelief so they can join them on a wild ride. Sometimes, audiences don't mind this (do we really understand how the Death Star can blow up a whole planet? Or care?), but sometimes writers try to justify what's happening with "science." The weird sci-fi theories these writers create range from sound and plausible to so abstract and bizarre that the audience just sits back, slack jawed, and asks "What the hell am I watching?"
Bethany TiamatPublished 7 years ago in FuturismBest Dark Fantasy Books You've Never Heard Of
Dark fantasy is a genre that's as addictive as it gets. There's something about the dark, morbid, and twisted allure of these books that gets people hooked instantly. This genre is one filled with vampires, dystopian worlds, and high strangeness at every corner.
Riley Raul ReesePublished 7 years ago in FuturismCoolest Sci-Fi Illustrators
If you ask me, no single genre of literature ever really comes close to the aesthetic awesomeness that science fiction does. Sci-fi illustrators seem to have an innate ability to make a book's fantastic scenery come to life and make you want to dive into that strange world.
Riley Raul ReesePublished 7 years ago in FuturismThe Scale of Hardness in Science Fiction
Some years ago, I had the idea of grading science fiction according to the degree of scientific realism. It was very obvious to me that, for example, the Discovery One spaceship in 2001 A Space Odyssey was far more realistic than the Star Destroyers, X-Wings, and Tie-Fighters of Star Wars.
M Alan KazlevPublished 7 years ago in FuturismThe Most Futuristic Cars You Can Buy Right Now
Most gearheads will tell you that they love a car that has customized tires, top rated engines, and a suspension setup that can handle even the roughest roads. But, among car enthusiasts, there's another point of admiration that they very rarely will discuss.
James LizowskiPublished 7 years ago in Futurism15 Characters Han Solo Met in 'Star Wars Legends Canon' (Even if He Didn't Need to)
Han Solo remains the most popular character in the Star Wars saga, so much so that Disney is funding a film all about Han Solo's life before A New Hope. This isn't the first time, of course, that Han Solo's story expanded beyond the limits of the core films. Back in the days of the Legends canon, tons of novels and comics outlined and expanded upon Han Solo's adventures and escapades.

Every child loves dinosaurs, and, after watching one, will always dive into the bargain bin DVDs in search of a dinosaur film to satisfy that itch. Sadly, there are tons of films that exploit that need for dinosaur goodness, and, often, fail to deliver something good.
