From 2001: A Space Odyssey to WALL-E, Erika Nesvold picks her favourite sci-fi films set in space (and explains why E.T. missed out)
Not a bad list. All of those are worthy of a watch.
Seeing sunshine on this list makes me happy.
Seeing Gravity on this list makes me confused.
The list is, Best SF films about space (that meet the criteria I set) not most accurate SF films about space.
For this list, I have focused on films about space exploration from the perspective of our society, or one very similar to it, leaving aside movies set in utopian federations or galaxies far, far away.
Given these constraints, here are my choices for the 10 best space movies, so far…
Yes I understand the criteria. I do feel saying “I found 10 movies that check these boxes” is a bit different than saying these movies are the “best”.
But either way I appreciate the article!
It is an old problem, writers write the article, editors write the headline.
I wouldn’t say it’s the best, but Wall-E is certainly the most realistic from a social point of view.
