Synopsis: There are no women on other planets in the distant future, and men all have resonances that make their thoughts clear to each other.

Chaos Walking is a science fiction neo-western depicting a space metropolis. The film is based on an adaptation of Patrick Ness’ first book of the Standing Chaos trilogy, published by Lionsgate. The film is one of those works that, despite the high potential of its idea, could not achieve a well-paid drama and stunning characters. This film tries to add a layer to its content, but in this way, it can not go as well as it deserves the initial thought, but it still achieves some of its meaning.

The film shows a society with problems with knowledge and is afraid of women. In the film’s geography, men write the law in their favor, and they get nervous and kill because another group knows more. Here, Tom Holland uses his experiences in Marvel, Impossible, etc., and presents a good game. His excellent play makes up for the shortcomings.

The film moves forward with the character of its hero and narrates itself in terms of struggle and warfare by strengthening and growing this character. The movie is full of action and conflict, and you can watch as many fights, sworders, guns, etc., as you want.

This movie is very similar to the movie Edge of Tomorrow, with the difference that in the rank of the boss of the bad guys, they are not space people. While watching this movie, what may bother you is the small amount of content transmitted to the viewer. Among this year’s sci-fi works, this play could be a fun one to watch.

Sarah is becoming a vampire in the movie come true

12- Come True movie

Movies come true

  • Director:  Anthony Scott Burns
  • Author:   Anthony Scott Burns
  • Cast:  London Libueron, Julia Sarah Stone
  • Published: March 2021 (March 2015)
  • Average Come True  scores on  IMDB:  9/5

Come True is a psychological trailer that tells the story of a cold, icy atmosphere. It has taken the dream stages and related nightmares as reality and tries to communicate with them. With its excellent idea, this film can draw you into the world of the unknown and instill in your soul the fear of realizing nightmares.

11- Voyagers movie

Passengers movie

The grandchildren of this group will live in the new world.

Voyagers is a space trailer that traps you in a claustrophobic environment at a great distance from Earth, between stars and planets, and conveys a sense of frightening fear that will intensify after Richard is killed. Like other works these days, this film cannot use its wealthy and successful idea well, and in some places, it may seem repetitive and disappointing to its audience. But what can captivate you and make you admire it is the attractive and impressive shooting in a limited location, where it is all aisle and wall, and you have to see the white and cold colors in the picture all the time.

The initial idea and thoughts of travelers originate from philosophical and social issues. Still, unfortunately, it does not reach the correct payment, but it can involve the audience’s mind in moral, human, scientific research, and so on. Voyagers begin with questioning and end with rebellion, rebellion, and finally, forming a community based on the majority of the spacecraft.

It is the story of the smuggled traveler but in a more terrifying and darker atmosphere amid solar storms. StowaAway is a battle for survival on Mars that its passengers want to survive at any cost. This film is the main issue of humanity, and it connects this thinking with life, scientific research, sacrifice, work conscience, life again on Mars, and so on. While watching the smuggled passenger, the logic of the script and its events may bother you a little, and in the end, it will leave you with unanswered questions. However, the acting, director’s conciseness, atmosphere, and spaceship design can delight and entertain you.

Lisa is regaining consciousness in the movie Oxygen

9- Oxygen movie

Oxygen film

  • Director:  Alexander Aja
  • Author:  Alexander Aja
  • Cast:  Melanie Laurent, Matthew Amalric
  • Published: May 2021 (May 1400)

How would you feel if you woke up one day and found yourself in an intelligent coffin that, ironically, was running out of Oxygen instead of in bed? This movie is what can put you in this situation. All the moments and plans of Oxygen pass in this cold coffin, and from the very first moments, you will face a painful and disturbing fear and suspension, and you will feel stuck in a secure place with your flesh and skin. Oxygen creates a stunning moment in a coffin location with a lead actor that not every director can handle, which is why Oxygen will be one of the best sci-fi movies of 2021.

Oxygen challenges humanity, identity, fear, isolation, the struggle for survival, and, most importantly, morality. It raises the question of whether human beings can violate morality for the survival of their generation. Although this work uses the idea of ​​films such as Moon and Passengers in some places, it can still work well in its subgenre and be a work worthy of its kind.

The actor escaping from the creatures in the movie A Silent Place 2

8- A Quiet Place movie

A film is a quiet place

  • Director:  John Krasinski
  • Author: John Krasinski
  • Cast:  Emily Blunt, Killian Murphy
  • Published: May 2021 (May 1400)
  • Average     A Quiet Place  scores on  IMDB:  3.7

 Synopsis: Dangerous and wild creatures sensitive to sound have invaded the Earth and can detect the slightest sound. Reagan must reach the radio station to escape by broadcasting noise to destroy these creatures.

The events of this film are a continuation of the story of the first part. A Silent Place 2 may not surprise the audience as much as its predecessor, leaving it in a suspenseful silence for the battle of survival. This apocalyptic film series, whose brilliant idea has turned Krasinski into a relatively good horror science fiction director, disappoints viewers a bit in this episode and confuses him in terms of narration and storytelling compared to his previous attack.

Due to the parallel editing, you may feel that the story is torn while watching this work, and you have to try to tie it together, which will be a little annoying. However, this film still works well in creating an apocalyptic atmosphere and can be a good choice for watching an apocalyptic sci-fi movie.

Meander is a claustrophobic trailer that plunges its audience into a nightmare in a tortuous atmosphere. The actress tries to move beyond her past by dragging through the labyrinth of memory. However, the winding road can entertain the audience for once and share the suffocating and suspenseful atmosphere. Trouble, effort, captivity, survival, fear, the past … are the things that show up in the film and tell a stressful story for survival. Meander atmosphere and atmosphere, visual texture, etc. are perfectly designed for a terrifying horror film that can do its job well. This work has traces of the movie Cube with it and brings in a few places in storytelling and storytelling.

Infinite bases its idea on these very things and makes reincarnation its central thought. Infinity is a science fiction superhero film that takes advantage of the oldest archetype available, the battle between good and evil, and continues its narrative in this way.

The characters in this story share their past life experiences, and their group of believers wants to use this gift to organize a better world. Infinite is one of those films that can not make its story as compelling as its ideas. Endless with its action, designs, special effects, and initial thinking can entertain you and bring charms.

Immigrants prepare suspense and excitement and prepare themselves for their audience from insecurity, displacement, fear of hope and despair, anger … and warn them of the depth of the future human catastrophe.

You will walk silently in this film, a silence that goes to your bone marrow, and you can taste the bitter pain of displacement with great intensity. This apocalyptic neo-western is a picture of the future of humanity, a film that can engage you and, on the other hand, can be a picture of human nature throughout the history of its life on Earth.

4- The Tomorrow War movie

Tomorrow’s war movie

Ben is sent to fight the animals in the future. From there, he brings with him a poison that can prevent this War from happening. There, he meets his daughter.

The Tomorrow War is an entertaining blockbuster whose form and action take over the script and become more exciting as it progresses. Tomorrow’s War is reminiscent of another dystopian film called Tomorrow’s Edge, in which space creatures have also attacked. Chris Pert, who has a history of acting in such films, plays an awe-inspiring game and can capture the pulse of his audience. Designs, special effects, color, and glaze of the film, etc., are awe-inspiring and can cover the film’s weaknesses and create a realistic image of the world to come. Tomorrow’s War will advance its worldview to protect the future and place the responsibility of preserving and caring for the Earth and other generations on the people of today.

In this film, everything is sinking, the city, the people, the future, the past, the memories … that you will not be without this event, and the atmosphere of this film will make you go inside and do things to Remind yourself.

The reminiscences that bring you the joy of Hugh Jackman’s good acting, like other works like this one this year, unfortunately, keep the passionate and brainstorming idea on the surface and try harder to pay homage to such and light films from the cinema and remind you of Chinese neighborhood movies. Blade Runner brings Hitchcock to life. Reminiscence is actual that it goes in some stereotyped places, but it can entertain its audience and draw them into their sad world.

 Synopsis: Earth becomes uninhabitable, and the rich choose Kepler 209 as their new habitat. As Blake lands, he meets the survivors and discovers secrets about his father.

The Colony is a science-fiction dystopia, also known as the Tides. The film is about the domination of capitalism and wealth over poverty, and the people who have to live for the affluent and form society according to their wishes. Everything is on the water in The Colony, and the survivors live in endless tides. This effect is cold all over and can create a sad atmosphere. The viewer must look for a narrative of colonialism and colonialism in preparation for the nerve-wracking.

The colonies do an excellent job of creating an apocalyptic atmosphere and an endless dead end, but what may bother the audience is the lack of realization of the film’s beautiful ideas into a bony story and the loss of the script’s purpose. However, Tides will arouse your curiosity with its intriguing and calculated action games and can keep you entertained for a while.
