Rolling Stone's the 150 Greatest Science Fiction Movies of All Time

Ever since that bullet-like rocket gave the Moon a black eye in 1902 and added an element of fantasy into a very young art form, those speculative and imaginative stories set in the far reaches of space and/or on our own scorched earth have been an integral part of a well-balanced cinematic diet. These films have given us visions of utopias and dystopias, asked deep questions about the human experience and the pros and cons of artificial intelligence, thrilled us and made us think. Once upon a time, sci-fi was considered nothing more than a niche for nerds. Now it's a genre wide enough to encompass everything from Ad Astra to Zardoz.
