Younger viewers might not recall the film Event Horizon. It was a thrilling sci-fi romp that involved demonic horrors leaking onto a ship thanks to some FTL travel gone wrong. The ship is using an experimental gravity drive meant to reduce the time it takes to travel through space by creating an artificial black hole for portal purposes. Unfortunat...
Call it what you will, this device is just one of those insane FTL inventions made to masquerade as teleportation. A Boom Tube is used to create openings across space and time that people, vehicles, and armies can use to traverse great distances.

Though Battlestar Galacticadidn't have a snazzy name for their faster-than-light travel (they just called them "FTL jumps," really), this mode of transportation boosted itself up on this list thanks to the random chance it uses. For those of you who haven't seen the hit sci-fi show, just know that luck has more to do with "jumps" than coordinates. ...
Granted, Dead Space started as a video game, but it has an animated film, too, so we thought we'd include it here anyways. Plus, its FTL travel is delightfully named. In Dead Space, space ships travel using ShockPoint drives. This means that when a ship is about to travel faster than the speed of light, crew members will frequently say, "We're abou...
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has its own method of FTL travel, but we wouldn't have included it if it hadn't been for the insane scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Yondu, Rocket, Kraglin, and Groot make 700 "jumps" through space-time in order to reach the rest of the team on Ego's planet in time. That many jumps takes a hilarious toll on the...
Like with Dead Space, Halo is primarily a video game, but since it has some live-action features and specials within its franchise, we thought we'd sneak it on here anyway. Halo'smethod of FTL travel is called Slipspace. RELATED: 10 Of The Best Sci-Fi Space Ships Ever, Ranked Using Shaw-Fujikawa Drives (a fictional drive named after a fictional per...
Black holes are terrifying things when you stop to think about it, but in Christopher Nolan's mind-bending film Interstellar, human astronauts use them to travel faster than the speed of light. Though the movie's black-hole travel is not named anything fancy, it earned a high spot on this list thanks to its unconventional depiction in the film. Plu...
No one who thinks of FTL travel in film can help but remember the streaks of stars whizzing past the Millennium Falcon as it made the jump to hyperspace. It is perhaps the most iconic form of FTL travel, especially in terms of visuals. Plus, the colloquial term "lightspeed" just sounds perfect for describing the mode of transportation. No other fil...
While it might attract the ire of Star Wars fans everywhere, Star Trek's warp speed had to be higher on the list at the very least because it was made years before the first Star Warsfilm. Any Trekkie worth their salt knows the importance of the warp engine to travel on the final frontier. You can't go where no man's gone before traveling on impuls...
The zaniest, unlikeliest, and, therefore, best mode of FTL travel has to go to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's Infinite Improbability Drive. This strange device of propulsion was made to travel to every single point in the universe before depositing the lucky ship it was housed in exactly where it wanted to go. This happens in the mere nothi...
