Some science fiction movies haven't aged well, but others are still great to watch today despite turning 30 years old in 2025. Despite now being decades old, these films remain not only as great stories, but powerful inspirations for the science fiction that would later come. They stand alongside the many different science fiction films that will turn 20 in 2025, each with its own original narrative and incredible staying power in the genre.
30 years between these movies' release and the modern day has done nothing to stop these films, as many remain popular with audiences and are favorites for classic sci-fi movie nights. Furthermore, these films end up as examples of unique science fiction films in a genre oversaturated with many very similar premises that all derive from each other. Being unique goes a long way in causing sci-fi movies to become classics, helping these films to be remembered on their thirtieth anniversary. Waterworld, a 1995 post-apocalyptic action movie, follows a lone drifter known as 'The Mariner', played by Kevin Costner, who finds himself in a conflict between a group of survivors seeking a mythical place called 'Dryland' and a gang of pirates who want to capture and enslave them. Directed by Kevin Reynolds, the film is set in a future where sea levels have risen, covering most of the Earth's landmass
