Science fiction, as a genre, sometimes explores the world of the future, and sometimes looks at more contemporary times, with a decidedly sci-fi spin. The main thing is that humanity and its relation to technology get explored in one way or another, which can lead to optimistic looks at the world and its future, or, in other cases, stories that are anything but.
9 'When the Wind Blows' Director: Jimmy T. Murakami When the Wind Blows is principally a war movie , but it doesn’t focus on combat sequences and depicts the consequences of a war that hasn’t happened… at least not yet. This is because When the Wind Blows is about nuclear war, and shows the impact the inevitable devastation has on an elderly couple who aren’t properly equipped to survive such an event.
7 'On the Silver Globe' Director: Andrzej Żuławski Close Sure, there’s an odd beauty to be found in On the Silver Globe, but there’s also a sense of ugliness and horror, with the film being unafraid to show a ton of disturbing things. The premise doesn’t sound too bad, on paper, given On the Silver Globe begins with space explorers trying to find a new planet other than Earth to live on, but things take a turn at a point and then just keep on turning.
Beyond just being about a person’s struggles, Melancholia also looks at the end of the world more broadly, with its unique take on an end-of-the-world premise being what makes it feel like a science fiction film on top of being a psychological drama. It’s extremely well-acted and builds dread effectively throughout, and any Lars von Trier movie that can still surprise has to be begrudgingly admired. Somehow, he keeps getting away with it.
