15 Best Ever Robot Sci-Fi Movies

1. Moon

Westworld Yul Brynner
Sony Pictures Classics

Moon, the debut feature from Duncan Jones (Source Code, Warcraft) is a perfect piece of filmmaking, weaving an engaging and thrilling story of mystery and intrigue around a standout performance from Sam Rockwell.

Rockwell stars as Sam Bell, a solitary worker on a lunar base where he's responsible for mining the valuable fuel Helium-3. Following an accident, as his 3-year commission comes to an end, Sam becomes increasingly paranoid about his work and his employers.

Sam's only companion GERTY, the base's robotic A.I. (voiced by Kevin Spacey), becomes his nemesis, attempting to prevent him from uncovering the truth.

Moon's sets, vehicles and effects are believable and look fantastic, in that classic science fiction style, and coupled with the performances from Rockwell and Spacey, Moon is a fantastic watch.
