10 Sci-Fi Movies That Deserve A Sequel

10. Arrival

Denis Villeneuve's Arrival, released in 2016, was met with high praise from audiences and critics alike. It established the Canadian director as one of the leading minds in the movie-making business.

Arrival strips back much of the futuristic components commonplace in the genre to create a more grounded story. When a collection of mysterious vessels appears around the world, a team of linguists attempt to communicate and discern why they have come to Earth.

Arrival is very different from other films featuring aliens. Confident in its unique tone and style, it's able to create an incredibly deep journey for its characters. Thanks to the efforts of talented actors like Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker, it continues to draw plaudits.

While it was designed as a standalone piece, it leaves one question; was there more communication to be had with the strange alien visitors? Arrival's critical acclaim could easily be expanded on with a follow-up. While the main character arcs were tied off in a deeply poignant way, other tales following the same organisms around the world could bring new perspectives.
