10 Best Sci-Fi Movies Of 2020

One of the most surprising success stories of 2020 was the release of Sonic the Hedgehog. This film went through a very troubling development process, as many fans of the video game character were uncertain whether they even wanted to see him come to the big screen. Things got even worse after the initial trailer revealed the character's chosen design, and viewers everywhere were appalled.

However, this film ended up being a fantastic example of how studios can care about the audience's opinion, as Sonic's look was utterly overhauled and made to be more accurate to his video game source material.

Sonic The Hedgehog's movie ticks many boxes and doesn't attempt to overdo anything. It sticks to simplicity and, therefore, can explore the vibe and energy of the famous character, without anything getting in the way, making the title work surprisingly well.

The film's biggest highlights are easily the performances from Ben Schwartz as Sonic, and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, who both deliver a tonne of energy and fun in their respective positions, with Schwartz proving his potential as a leading figure, and Carrey showing a true return to his goofy comedy roots.

It's not perfect, but fans everywhere were pleasantly surprised by this unexpected hit.
