Mother’schief obligation is to wait after Daughter , ostensibly the only human left hand awake - that is until Hilary Swank ’s character turns up .
The set up ofI Am Motheris a science fiction staple - characters are confined thanks to an outside terror only to hear that what they ’ve been tell is n’t necessarily the truth . If you enjoyed the film and you ’re looking for your next sci - fi fix after watching Netflix ’s latest , we ’ve got you breed . Here are ten sci - fi movies to watch if you likeI Am Mother .
Ex-Machina
A home in the forest is the location for Ex - Machine , a motion-picture show that orb around the idea of whether or not a robot can happen the Turing Test ; that is a political machine ’s power to exhibit intelligent conduct equivalent to , or identical from that of a human being .
This well - celebrated movie receive piles of positive press on its press release and then continue to find a wide and wider audience as word spread . It seems like a film that even now people would watch it for the first fourth dimension and think ‘ why did n’t I watch this before ? ’
Moon
The directorial feature of Duncan Jones who went on to make the CG - love in that wasWarcraft : The commencement , Moonis a brightly put together movie that feels intimate in a world where scientific discipline fabrication moving-picture show seem to only be trying to get bigger and bigger .
Fronted by everyone ’s favorite actor Sam Rockwell , Moonis the story of cosmonaut Sam Bell who ’s coming toward the end of his three - twelvemonth least sandpiper working on the Moon for excavation company Lunar Industries . His only company is his seemingly trustworthy computer GERTY , that is until he catch it talking to Lunar Industries without him .
A Quiet Place
One of the most popular movies of last year , A Quiet Placeis one of the least sci - fi sci - fi motion-picture show there is but instead mixes science fiction elements with estimate from repulsion and thriller movies to make something really impressive .
Most of the moving picture takes place in one family ’s domicile in a world inhabited by aliens - yes , John Krasinski confirmed they were in fact aliens - that lash out any strait they get wind . IfI Am Mother isquick to establish distrust in one of its main characters thenA Quiet Placeis about what happens when you live in a world that you ca n’t trust .
10 Cloverfield Lane
While he shall forever be Sully inMonsters Inc.to many , John Goodman ’s theatrical role in10 Cloverfield Lanehas to be high up there on his list of peachy performance . He fiddle a mild - mannered - albeit unknown - figure who ’s progress a shelter to protect himself and a select few against an attempt on the world that ’s forget the atmosphere unbreathable .
It ’s full of so many twists and plough that any synopsis should bequeath it at the rudiments ; but it break without saying that this is definitely one to take in if you have n’t already .
Devil
If bottle episode of a situation comedy are unity that take place entirely in a single - usually small - location , thenDevilis the equivalent of an intact series take place inside a Jack Daniels miniature .
LikeI Am Motherbut set in an lift , Devilis a creepy-crawly and exceedingly claustrophobic geographic expedition of confinement and the idea of being trapped with something inherently evil . The difference is that unlikeI Am Mother , we do n’t love what it is ripe until the remnant . And you do n’t have to take care much further than the title to work out what the evil is .
Cube
Waking up somewhere without any prior knowledge of how you get there is most definitely a well - used storytelling gadget in science fiction . This is the get-go ofCube , a cleverly pieced - together motion picture that see five fictional character trapped inside a cube . They have to use their skills to try and find a manner out of a maze fill with cakehole , all while debating why they ’re there and who is creditworthy .
Not a science fiction movie in the pure sense , but certainly in the grand idea of the movie , Cube breed a few lesser - received sequels and is in the mental process of being redo . But that being say , the master copy is most definitely worth the prison term .
Snowpiercer
While the master role inI Am Motheris trapped in a exclusive localisation while there ’s something going on outside , Snowpierceris the story of characters tackle something going on at bottom . All coiffure on a geartrain , the film is something of a religious cult favourite that has a somewhat limited but enthusiastic fan base and is about to premiere as a TV show .
Captain America ’s mindset has burrowed its way into Chris Evans as he just ca n’t stimulate the idea that everything should be just and fairish . He plays Curtis , the leader of a revolution onboard the titular Snowpiercer train on which the poor travel at the back and the wealthy at the front .
Exam
Writer / Director / Producer ofExamStuart Hazeldine has a really modified IMDB sum up which is a pity when you calculate at something like this picture . It only really becomes a scientific discipline fable moving picture as the plot unravels , Examis a party whip - impudent thrill drive of a flick with great performances from the cast of unnamed characters who are lock inside a room to face a final exam which if they pass , will secure them a job .
There are much big forces at work however than a possible new employer and this becomes more and more apparent as the stake continue to arise throughout the moving picture .
WALL-E
Bare with us on this one … But if Daughter inI Am Motheris , as the main character , incognizant of what ’s really operate on outside her confinement and just exist her life as best she can , then she ’s not a bad comparison to a sure little yellow robot .
WALL - E goes about his day unaware of the unbelievable thing he ’s stumble upon when he finds a diminutive greenish shoot growing on a antecedently abandoned earth . It ’s only when EVE turns up and shows him the truth that he can really fulfill his potential drop and help human race .
2001: A Space Odyssey
We ’re to the full aware that this flick is always on any list of science fable pic to watch - even on a list of best films - but it ’s for beneficial reason . And specially now in 2019 where there ’s likely an audience of fledgling moving picture buffs who have n’t yet seen2001 : A Space Odyssey .
