War and sci-fi are a movie match made in heaven.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The greatest sci-fi war movies of all time combine two of the most popular genres in cinema. This unique combination gives filmmakers ample room to tackle warfare from angles not typically accessible to films that dramatize real wars. While reality-based war movies are limited to the technology and sociopolitics of their respective settings, sci-fi war movies examine warfare from the very fringes of science.
10 Starship Troopers The movie Starship Troopers is an anti-war satire that critiques militarism and authoritarianism. Set in the far future, it follows young soldiers fighting against insect-like aliens that are in the way of humanity's galactic conquest. Starship Troopers also portrays a jingoistic, fascist-like government where citizenship is earned through military service - against an intelligent alien race that's merely defending itself.
7 Reign Of Fire Close One of the best dragon movies of all time, Reign of Fire is set in a future where dragons have awakened and nearly destroyed civilization. The movie follows a group of survivors led by Quinn and a dragon-slaying expert. Known for its intense dragon battles and the transformation of its characters as they confront the deadly creatures, Reign of Fire offers a unique twist on draconic film lore through its post-apocalyptic setting.
4 Dune The latest film adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune retains the original novel's critical examination of war. Both science fiction elements and war are at the heart of both the pivotal power struggles between House Atreides, House Harkonnen, House Corrino, and the Bene Gesserit. However, it is in Dune: Part Two where the saga will explode into total interplanetary warfare - as seen in Dune through the horrific visions of the future experienced by Paul Atreides.
