Best Sci-Fi Movies of the 2010s, Ranked by IQ Score
The decade sci-fi cinema reckoned with the AI question. Ranked by IQ Score.
The 2010s in sci-fi cinema is the decade the genre confronted the AI question at scale. Her (2013), Ex Machina (2014), and Blade Runner 2049 (2017) all rendered AI-consciousness as actual philosophical subject, within twelve years of one another.
Anchor picks: Arrival (2016) is the catalog's most-canonical linguistics-as-sci-fi entry. Annihilation (2018) is Alex Garland's most-formally-ambitious work. Interstellar (2014) at 189 is among the highest-scoring films in the entire TVI database. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is the canonical genre-action entry of the decade.
