10 Best Sci-Fi Films Of The 21st Century So Far

5. Minority Report In Spielberg's adaptation of the Phillip K. Dick story, Minority Report follows Tom Cruise as a member of the pre-crime task force, a crime division that uses bathtub psychics to predict future murders. But when Cruise himself is discovered as a potential future killer, he must hide from his own agents and try to uncover the truth. Although no time travel occurs in this film, Spielberg gives us an analytical view of the future, and how knowledge of different timelines in our lives can alter our decisions. Through these meditations, he also weaves in enough action and simple thrills to make this one of the best sci-fi films of recent times.
