Excludes superhero/supervillain movies
A collection of Hard Science Fiction, a sub-genre emphasizing scientific accuracy, even if highly speculative, or at the very least, featuring relatively realistic themes.
The goal of the list is to collect thought-provoking films tackling a wide gamut of themes, whether AI, space travel/exploration, extraterrestrial colonization, first contact, futuristic societies and social issues, and so on and so forth.
Some liberties will be taken, and the list may stray from these general guidelines, but not much.
