CMNN Movie Ratings provides detailed reviews of The American Film Institute’s Top 10 sci-fi movies, as well as a few we have included ourselves. Have a good Sci-fi film you’d like to see reviewed? Comment and let us know!

We’ll be doing a number of reviews, so to keep them organized we’ve developed a guide to help you navigate and understand our direction. We’ll be compartmentalizing reviews into sections as follows:

  • Setting/historical context 

  • Storyline (does it make sense, is it concise?)
  • Themes

  • Symbolism (if any?)

  • Character development

  • Synopsis

  • Memorable moments from the movie (how they added value to the film overall)

  • High/low points throughout the film

 


If you share our love of Sci-fi be sure to keep up with the posts on our blog! If you have a film you want reviewed, let us know!
