10 Sci-Fi Movies With Perfect Opening Scenes According to Collider

"The best movies grip the viewer from the first frame. A good opening scene conveys key information while also hooking the viewer and setting the tone for everything to follow. As a result, cinema has countless memorable opening scenes; this extends to sci-fi cinema as well, which has gifted viewers with the stark, mysterious introduction to '2001: A Space Odyssey,' the descent into the dystopian Los Angeles of 'Blade Runner,' and the stirring beginning of 'Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope,' in which the massive Star Destroyer looms over Princess Leia's fleeing ship, emphasizing the scale and stakes of the galactic conflict. These scenes not only set the tone for their respective films but also showcase the visionary craftsmanship that defines the genre. With this in mind, here are ten sci-fi movies with perfect beginnings." - collider.com
