Of all these sci-fi movies, which ones (pick up to 8) do you believe could possibly be most likely to occur?
My suggestion is make half your picks for most believable event or plot, and the other half for what you believe would most likely result with the characters. But pick whichever you want. I'm not sure what I would pick.

My picks are
The Terminator(given our dependence on technology)
Fantastic Voyage(1966) given that surgeries can now be performed with smaller incisions this film's premise is well within the realm of possibility.

The Omega Man is fairly plausible. Biological warfare kills most of the population. Military has an experimental vaccine that doesn't make it to production but one scientist has access to it and it works. Some of the population is semi-immune (young people especially) to the biologic agent while others don't die but are affected in a negative way.
I would probably do most of the same things Heston did in the film. Watch a lot of movies, collect art and weapons, drive nice cars, reinforce a nice defendable town house and roam the city killing or trying to cure the folks that survived but "mutated".

2001: A Space Odyssey - Humans colonizing space is inevitable unless we destroy ourselves first.
The Andromeda Strain - Not necessarily a space-born virus but the likelihood an unstoppable pandemic is way more realistic than most sci-fi.

Well according to a article online from the Jan 6th 2011 it basically said that Gattaca (1997) is the most plausible Sci-Fi movie according to NASA. here is that article... www.slashfilm.com/nasa-2012-absurd-scifi-movie-gattaca-plausible/according to that article it says the Top 7 most plausible Sci-Fi movies are... 1.Gattaca (1997) 2.Contact (1997) 3.Metropolis (1927) 4.The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 5.Woman in the Moon (1929) 6.The Thing from Another World (1951) 7.Jurassic Park (1993) it even mentioned Blade Runner (1982) but did not make the Top 7. |

My picks sort of fall into three categories: 1) We encounter something weird. Both "The Thing" iterations, "Alien", and "War of the Worlds" fit here for me. Though technology has advanced, we're still just hairless apes who at times don't really know what we're doing. These movies don't involve humanity's struggle to understand its identity, but more its reaction to a foreign presence. Hostile or peaceful, its just completely (no pun intended) alien territory. A few of the other movies on the list fit this category, but I picked my favorites. Sci-fi can be really interesting in the lens of whether or not the characters would be peaceful or aggressive towards a totally unknown being. Though it was far from the best movie I've ever seen, I thought "The Arrival" touched on a few of these ideas. 2) We become victims of our own evolution. "Terminator", "Blade Runner", and "Sunshine" fit here. Be it A.I. or pollution, these stories have a spine based on how humanity will eventually destroy itself. I quite like this sort of story and would throw "Children of Men" in with this. Most of the time they go the apocalyptic route, but a few (something like indie sci-fi "Upside Down") take the more emotional route. I was a big "Twilight Zone" fan growing up (still not done growing up, except that I'm already kind of old), and a lot of my favorite stories touched on this. The danger of too much unimpeded progress. Which brings me to... 3) We found answers to ancient questions that ended up being horrifying. "Prometheus" stands alone here from this list. Humanity goes through such lengths to understand itself that it doesn't realize how deep the water is, and how much we're not on everyone's list of species to look after. It's the age old question (this is not intended to go in line with any particular religion) of if you could meet your creator, would you want to? It could be enlightening or terrifying or such as that you walk away realizing that you and your species is just another grain of sand. Good list drystyx |
