5 science fiction films for those who liked “The War of Tomorrow”

‘Tomorrow’s War’ is Amazon Prime Video’s latest original title and, with an extensive cast from Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski and JK Simmons, is already gaining subscribers worldwide.

Despite the mixed reviews, there’s no denying that the feature manages to keep us entertained with two main elements: sci-fi and big battle sequences. The story centers on a group of time travelers who arrive from the year 2051 to the present to deliver an urgent message: thirty years in the future, humanity is losing a war against a deadly alien species. The only hope for survival is to get current soldiers and civilians to join the fight in the future.

For those who have devoured the film before and are thinking about what to watch, CinePOP has put together a list of five more military sci-fi productions for you to check out.

See our choices below:

ALIEN FRANCHISE (1979 – 2017)

The legacy of the intergalactic “Alien” saga is indescribable, having cosmologically explored the horrors that inhabit space. The original film, directed by Ridley Scott, was recklessly condemned for using elements of science fiction to find astronomical praise years later, especially since it influenced an entire generation of filmmakers.

Comprised of four original films and two prequels (plus three crossovers with the ‘Predator’ franchise), the narrative essentially centers around a xenomorphic creature who brings chaos and destruction to anyone who dares to cross his path. If the stories vary from one film to another, it must be said that the first two chapters are essential for any fan of the genre.

Well, when you think of ‘Avatar’, the term ‘science fiction’ isn’t the first that comes to mind.
