Of course, this year we were waiting for two high-profile premieres of science fiction films at once - the restart of the cult "Dunes" and another part "Matrices". If with Neo and the company is far from clear yet - the picture Denis Villeneuve already fired. This is a good reason to remember the latest science fiction films that cinema gave the viewer, and to figure out which of these films are really worth attention.
We are dealing with a very specific genre, since it is always difficult to create a truly large-scale picture about distant worlds, and ensuring its commercial success is even more difficult. However, attempts continue - screenwriters and directors offer the audience new films that can attract attention.
Monster Hunter
Directed by: Paul Anderson
Genre: fantasy
Year of issue: 2020
When we realize that he has settled in the director's chair Paul Anderson, we immediately expect a light action with a passing plot. Movie "Monster Hunter" - adaptation of a computer game in the RPG genre. Anderson himself took up writing the script, invited the ageless Milla Jovovich and created a really interesting attraction.
Artemis - an experienced soldier, but once in a parallel universe called New World, she understands that all the dangers of the real world are nothing compared to the local threats. The area is teeming with huge monsters, and surviving in such conditions is a very difficult task.
[webnavoz_rating id=76537]Generation Voyager
Directed by: Neil Berger
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
First fantasy, and then comics, gradually pushed science fiction to the periphery of the film industry. However, films like "Generation Voyager" continue to find their grateful audience, eager for new space adventures. Neil Berger managed to create a really worthy tape with Colin Farrell, which makes you think once again about human nature.
A group of young people grown in "sterile" laboratory conditions are sent to colonize a distant planet. To make everything go smoothly on the way, the feelings of the guys are pacified by some kind of blue liquid. Things spiral out of control when the destination of the drink becomes known to the passengers of the spacecraft.
[webnavoz_rating id=76538]Infinity
Directed by: Antoine Fuqua
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
Project "Infinity" quite difficult to assess unambiguously. One gets the impression that the plot was created from patches of other paintings that came out earlier. Saves the situation a little. Mark Wahlberg, who played the main role, but the tape lacks originality and some zest. Otherwise, we have before us a solid action movie, seasoned with the essential attributes of a fantastic genre.
Life Evana is not going too well - with schizophrenia it is difficult even to find a job, not to mention recognition and self-realization. However, the hero soon learns that he is one of the few people on Earth who remembers his previous lives. However, not all "eternal" are complacent in relation to humanity and civilization will now have to be saved.
[webnavoz_rating id=76539]Far space
Directed by: Joe Penna
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
Before us is far from the most famous and promoted project, but it will definitely appeal to fans of science fiction. As part of the plot, the picture "Deep Space" not perfect – there are obvious inconsistencies and a low level of scientific certainty. However, critics especially note the idea of the film, which is slowly revealed towards the end and fills the tape with meaning.
The spaceship is heading for Mars with an important mission. All the plans of the crew collapse when an extra passenger is announced on board, and an accident also adds fuel to the fire. Now it is obvious that the team's resources are very limited and the issue of survival will soon be a priority for many.
[webnavoz_rating id=76540]Chaos tread
Directed by: Doug Liman
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
Another controversial project "Tread of Chaos" takes us to a planet colonized by earthlings. This world has a curious feature - men cannot keep their thoughts secret due to some anomaly called "noise". Todd - a resident of one of the settlements, but his life changes dramatically when a ship of a new wave of colonists crashes nearby.
When the tape is filmed Thoma Holland и Mads Mikkelsen, the viewer expects a real extravaganza. However, the painting "The Walk of Chaos" uses fantastic content only as a decoration, an optional condition. The tape is more like an adventure in the setting of the development of the "wild west".
[webnavoz_rating id=76541]godzilla vs kong
Directed by: Adam Wingard
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
Pushing characters from the same universe together to produce the next movie is far from a new technique. He gained particular popularity in the film adaptation of comics, where heroes and villains mixed up sort things out through physical strength and superpowers. Ribbon "Godzilla vs. Kong" - just something similar, the writers simply took two characters familiar to the public and pushed them head-on.
However, as usual, the titans had a common enemy, forcing them to forget their previous feuds. A huge plus of the film is that the picture relegates people to the background, it is the monsters that remain in the spotlight. The visual component is implemented beyond praise, which was noted by the audience, who provided the blockbuster with a solid box office.
[webnavoz_rating id=76542]Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Director: Andy Serkis
Genre: comics
Year of issue: 2021
Sequel didn't make it "Venoma" to complete the rental, as critical arrows of the audience rained down in his direction. Despite the participation in the project of such masters as Woody Harrelson и Thoma Hardy, the picture received the status of a filler (material that does not affect the development of the storyline) and disappointed a significant part of the public. Fans of comics were also dissatisfied - the characters they knew well were remade and fell victim to a deep rethinking.
The tape received the expected average ratings, collected the box office and became far from the most convincing directorial debut for Andy Serkis. However, the viewer should get ready for the third part of Venom, which is already in the plans of the studio.
[webnavoz_rating id=76543]The war of the future
Directed by: Chris McKay
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
It's been a long time since we've been spoiled with an action game about an alien invasion. Painting "War of the Future" completely corrects this defect and puts another tape in the category of "fighting fiction". The main role in the film was played by the notorious Chris Pratt, which, although not impressive, but confidently holds the bar. Inappropriate and naive humor can also be attributed to the disadvantages of the project, but fans of action movies do not expect this at all.
Mankind found itself in a difficult situation - aliens attacked the Earth, and its soldiers are being pressed on all fronts. Scientists find a way out - they send recruiters to the past, who must find new recruits and put them under arms.
[webnavoz_rating id=76544]Protagonist
Directed by: Shawn Levy
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
Any film featuring Ryan Reynolds attracts attention. Ribbon "The last Hero" was no exception - she managed to break a truly huge box office and received mostly positive ratings from critics and viewers. A well-known actor and director also took part in the project. Taika Waititi, which has become another powerful magnet for the public.
Guy - A minor NPC created for extras in the famous game. He is daily engaged in affairs determined by the algorithm and does not think about what is happening around. The appearance of one of the players changes everything, and the Guy is forced to deviate from the program, succumbing to an irresistible attraction to the girl, whose image was secretly entered into his source code.
[webnavoz_rating id=76545]Dune
Directed by: Denis Villeneuve
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2021
First film adaptation "Dune" dated 1984 year. Then the film became a real find for fans of science fiction, because there was simply no special alternative to it. Denis Villeneuve took over the restart of the project and achieved some success, creating a truly large-scale universe that claims to be the main event of the year. The audience accepted the picture very favorably and noted its many advantages over the original. Critics did not stand aside, admitting that Villeneuve did a serious job.
Planet Peanuts - not the most hospitable place in the universe. The traveler can find here only an endless desert and a scorching sun. However, it is here that an incredibly valuable resource is mined - melange, which becomes a stumbling block for factions that dream of establishing their control over Dune.

I was always tormented by the question of how oxygen is renewed on Arakis and how much sandworms need to eat so as not to die and grow to such sizes. And also what the Fremens eat and where their food grows if only jerboas run around.
worms are like sponges, they absorb the local fauna like plankton whales, where life is in full swing
Advantages over what, yat original? Before Herbert's book? What are you writing brands??
If you carefully read the text, you would notice that: "The first film adaptation of the painting "Dune" dates back to 1984 ...". This is what the original is about.
So the book is the original, not Lynch's nonsense. The movie itself is an adaptation of the book. What is old, what is new, what is the series. These are all screencaps. Sometimes it is worth re-reading the text that you write.
I know very well about the book 🙂 Alas, so far it has not happened to read.
But the article is about films, so in this case, two films were compared (the original 1984 and its relaunch in 2021).
