A hero is only as good as its villain, which means sci-fi has had a lot of really good villains. With our own technology rapidly advancing, and sci-fi being reliant on advanced science and technology, the sci-fi villains have evolved into more dangerous and powerful beings as the years have gone by. Just as entertaining, if not more so, are sci-fi’s famous villains. Oftentimes, when we think of good sci-fi, we think of its heroes: Ripley, Captain Kirk, the Doctor, etc. It’s a staple genre in the nerd community, for sure. For many of us, it’s hard to imagine a world without sci-fi.

Since then, we’ve gotten many high-quality (and low-quality) science fiction films that have entertained us and made us think differently about the future. While science fiction elements have long been a part of literature, the first feature-length sci-fi film, Metropolis, debuted in 1927.

The science fiction genre has given us many avenues of escapism for hundreds of years.
