Science fiction is easily one of the most popular and prolific genres in movies today. But while there are countless major hit sci-fi movies, there's many if not even more cult sci-fi classics still waiting to be discovered.
Sci-fi cinema began almost as soon as movies themselves began, with Georges Méliès' A Trip to the Moon – widely considered the first sci-fi movie – released in 1902. Méliès was only the first of more than a century of filmmakers using science fiction to contemplate humanity's future – the dreams, the nightmares, the endless possibilities. While there's a ton of undisputed classics in the genre, there're many more underrated and undiscovered gems that still deserve their proper due.
