Stories are all about asking life's questions - questions about humanity, the heart, and the world all around us. And science fiction is the story genre that asks the biggest questions of all. Well, the movies on this list dare to ask the really big questions - and some of them throw a few explosions and mind-bending twists in for good measure.
It's one of the most successful movies made in the last several years - and you've probably never even heard of it. The Chinese film The Wandering Earth came out in 2019 and was a smash, becoming the second-highest all-time box office grosser in the history of Chinese cinema. The story takes place in the not-too-distant future of 2061, when the sun has begun expanding and threatens the Earth's existence. What's a group of action astronauts to do? Why, strap a bunch of fusion-powered rocket boosters - known as "Earth Engines" - to the planet's surface and blast it into a new solar system over four light years away.
Think back to the goofy fun of all those world-saving epics from the late '90s, and you'll start to get a sense of what you're in for with The Wandering Earth. Did you like Armageddon? Well, you'll probably like this, but it's got the added benefit of having 21st century special effects and stunts. Make some popcorn and strap in for the ride of your life.
