1 2001: A Space Odyssey

Trailer for the 2001 science fiction film: A Space Odyssey
Stanley Kubrick began making his last science fiction film with 2001: A Space Odyssey and he succeeded. Co-written by Kubrick with acclaimed science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey touches on all major themes including: exploring new corners of outer space, A.I. turning its back on humanity,...
The ambiguity of 2001 has puzzled audiences for decades. There are countless interpretations of the story's meaning — Nietzsche's Übermensch theory, the search for God, a grand metaphor for conception — all of which will vary depending on the individual viewer.
2 Stalker

Science fiction movie Stalker trailer
Seven years after making a space trip in Solaris, Tarkovsky has taken on his artfully complex sci-fi franchise through Stalker. Set in a dense post-apocalyptic wasteland called "The Zone," Stalker witnesses a tour guide take a writer and a scientist to "The Room" in an illegal way, where their wishes seem to come true.
Despite receiving mixed reactions from contemporary critics, since then, Stalker has still been considered a masterpiece of world cinema dealing with psychological and philosophical topics. However, because it possesses a brainstorming story, it may take some insight to fully understand Tarkovsky's complex ideas.
3 The Matrix

Trailer 1 of the science fiction movie The Matrix
The Wachowskis made '90s audiences question their realistic nature with the groundbreaking complex sci-fi action film The Matrix. In the film, Keanu Reeves plays Neo, who learns that humanity has essentially been turned into "batteries" by robots from the future, from which he joins the resistance against machines in the "real world".
With its magical imagery and allusion to Alice in Wonderland, The Matrix is a truly different film. There's plenty of spectacular John Woo-style action to balance its sore, thought-provoking themes.
4 Blade Runner

Trailer for the sci-fi movie Blade Runner
Adapted from Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, director Ridley Scott's complex sci-fi film Blade Runner tells the story of a tough detective named Rick Deckard who is tasked with hunting down hordes of escaped robots who are integrating into human society in a miserable future Los Angeles.
Scott transplanted familiar noir into the sci-fi setting of Blade Runner. The unclear description from the film of Deckard's identity makes it difficult to follow, but the breathtaking visuals are well worth your enjoyment.
5 Altered States

Trailer for the science fiction movie Altered States
Ken Russell's complex, macabre science fiction work, Altered States was inspired by John C. Lilly's study of sensory depletion — he conducted by administering neurostimulants in a quarantine tank. It stars William Hurt as a psychologist and physiologist who performs similar experiments.
Spread over the duration of Altered States, he begins to experience haunting hallucinations that he believes may be genetic memories. Russell's psychedelic imagery makes Altered States an experience unlike any other.
6 Primer

Science fiction movie Primer trailer
Shane Carruth's complex science fiction film Primer is a very different genre of time travel movies. It's about adventures through timelines discovered by chance, and Carruth — a former engineer with a degree in mathematics — doesn't turn a blind eye to any technical dialogue.
In full speaking, Carruth doesn't just explain time travel with a "flux capacitor" like Back to the Future. Therefore, it means that viewers need to enjoy Primer many times to fully understand the methods of experimentation in the film.
7 Solaris

Trailer of the science fiction movie Solaris
Andrei Tarkovsky brought acumen to space adventure in the 1972 science fiction complex film Solaris. The film tells the story of a psychologist who is sent to a space station to find out what causes all the crew to lose their minds.
Nominated for Palme d'Or, Solaris is a reflective gem exploring the effects of isolation on the human psyche. As such a contemplative work, it may take a few enjoyments to fully touch its rhythm, but the immense treasure that Tarkovsky's creation is absolutely worth it.
8 Twelve Monkeys

Trailer 1 of the science fiction movie Twelve Monkeys
The harrowing future of Terry Gilliam's hit complex sci-fi film Twelve Monkeys is different today. In the film, Bruce Willis takes on the role of a criminal who is transported back in time from the future ravaged by epidemics to determine the origin of the virus that wiped out humanity — an allegory that bears parallels to our current pandemic threat.
Gilliam was inspired by the circular structure of Chris Marker's 1962 short film La Jetée, the ending of Twelve Monkeys directly informs the beginning of the film while also relating the whole story together in a neat strip of Mobius. Such subversive story structure means that it takes a lot of time to brood.
9 Donnie Darko

Commentary on the science fiction film Donnie Darko
Bộ phim khoa học viễn tưởng phức tạp đầu tay Donnie Darko (Tiềm thức chết chóc) của đạo diễn Richard Kelly không được khán giả đánh giá cao khi phát hành, nhưng sau đó nó trở nên nổi tiếng như một tác phẩm kinh điển đình đám. Trong phim, Jake Gyllenhaal vào vai một thiếu niên bị quấy rầy bởi những điềm báo về một thảm họa sắp xảy ra.
Donnie Darko không giải thích rõ cốt truyện của nó, đồng thời nó cũng có cú twist khó hiểu khi Donnie nhìn thấy con thỏ có kích thước bằng người thật, nhưng tất cả đều liên kết trong phần cuối, khi những dòng thời gian khác nhau hội tụ, từ đó ý nghĩa lớn hơn của cuộc phiêu lưu hiện sinh này dần hé mở ánh sáng. Tuy nhiên, cần xem một vài lần để hiểu đầy đủ thông điệp sâu sắc mà đạo diễn Kelly muốn truyền tải.
10 Inception

Trailer 1 of the science fiction movie Inception (Kẻ đánh cắp giấc mơ)
It's not easy for an original plan to come to fruition as a blockbuster today, but audiences around the world were fascinated by Christopher Nolan's complex sci-fi film Inception when it hit theaters in 2010. In the film, Leonardo DiCaprio leads a group of thieves who break in a man's dream to steal ideas.
In short, there has never been anything like Inception before. There have been movies involving heists or films set in dreams, but none of them have dealt with heists set in dreams. With all that said, Inception needs some insight to understand it more fully, but it finally reveals true beauty as viewers catch up with the complexity of the story.
