6. Screamers

Hardware Movie
Columbias Pictures

Screamers is a movie that gives you the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it's a meaningful experience that explores the concept of humanity's hubris, societal hierarchy and the futility of war. But, on the other hand, it's a thrilling action-adventure full of terrifying monsters and kick-ass visuals. Naturally, it should appeal to all kinds of sci-fi fans.

The narrative takes place on a mining planet called Sirius 6B, where a longstanding conflict between former miners (known as The Alliance) and the mining company (New Economic Block) rages on. However, the N.E.B has created autonomous killing machines known as Screamers to end the war, only to suffer the consequences once they evolve.

While the movie begins as a simple workers revolution, it ends up being so much more. The advanced Screamers start to imitate humanity itself, leading to a paranoia infested runtime full of betrayal, deceit and violence.

The brutal visuals, infectious atmosphere and thought-provoking questions about humanity turn this sci-fi horror into one hell of an movie.
