This article explores the rise of sci-fi comedies in recent years, highlighting their ability to balance humor with intriguing sci-fi concepts. It discusses how these films both entertain and offer social commentary through their unique blend of genres.
There have been plenty of great sci-fi comedies in the last decade, from underrated gems to award winners and summer blockbusters. Sci-fi comedies are often best when they balance their two genres well. Movies like Back to the Future and Men in Black, for example, have thrilling stories and intriguing sci-fi concepts, as well as great jokes and strong comedic performances.
In the last 10 years, sci-fi comedies have been used to lovingly poke fun at the genre, but sci-fi has also been used as a guise to facilitate plenty of social commentary and satire. Movies like Sorry to Bother You, Palm Springs and The Lobster all use sci-fi concepts to show how unusual everyday life has become for people in the here and now. Other sci-fi comedies have used humor to lighten up some cerebral stories that could otherwise be too dystopian and depressing. 10 Sorry To Bother You (2018) A Unique And Unpredictable Sci-Fi Movie Your Ratingclose10 stars9 stars8 stars7 stars6 star5 stars4 stars3 stars2 stars1 star Rate Now 0/10 Leave a Review Your comment has not been saved Your changes have been saved Email is sent Email has already been sent My List My Favorite MoviesMy Watchlist Success! 9/10 8/10 Sorry to Bother You Where to Watch Not available Not available Not available *Availability in US Release Date July 13, 2018 Director Boots Riley Cast Omari Hardwick , Steven Yeun , Tessa Thompson , Michael X.
