In Jonathan Liebesman's Battle: Los Angeles, a group of marines learns about the existence of aliens and chopper in to face them (seeing wreckage and bodies everywhere). Battle: L.A. has an interesting ground troops angle that puts the viewer in the middle of the battle. But even that intimate viewpoint was done better in Gareth Edwards' Godzilla (...
Amazon Prime's The Tomorrow War generated some unpopular Reddit opinions, but it was also fairly well-liked, as a whole. The 2021 actioner was bolstered by a talented cast, including Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, and a scene-stealing J.K. Simmons. It just doesn't properly utilize all of its cast members (Strahovski's Colonel Muri Forester would h...
Roland Emmerich's Independence Day took the casting and narrative excess of films like Airport and The Towering Infernoand threw in aliens. The result was Emmerich's best film and a clear signal that Will Smith was perhaps the biggest star on the planet.

The deadly cinematic martian invaders in The War of the Worlds have held up, visually speaking, with an intimidating presence that's revealed in perfect fragments. In fact, the movie even won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It's hard to imagine this not being at least partly why the film is held in high regard, even today. With a relative...
Critically acclaimed but a '90s box office bomb, Paul Verhoeven's bombastic Starship Troopers works as well today as it ever did. Raters seem to agree, as they've placed it over even Independence Day. Verhoeven's politically savvy and tongue-in-cheek film was followed by some direct-to-video sequels that unsurprisingly lacked any of the original's ...
Not much is shown of the actual war against the machines in James Cameron's landmark The Terminator, but that just makes it more intimidating. The brief, intense scenes of John Connor narrowly avoiding shots from laser weapons feel like a scene from Saving Private Ryan. This hair-raising tone is held in full throughout the movie but on a much small...
Denis Villeneuve's fantastic adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dunedeserves its fans just for being watchable. Herbert's book was an incredibly difficult one to adapt to the big screen. Others, like David Lynch, had tried, yet Villeneuve succeeded. The result was a hit (even considering the pandemic). The casting was pitch-perfect across the board. Jas...
All four Avengers films feature a massive battle within their runtime. But Avengers: Infinity War feels like just that throughout its epic runtime: a war.

Episode V is the highest-rated of the 11 Star Wars films. And in comparison to most, it's by a significant margin. It's the perfect display of the franchise's magic.

While fans weren't thrilled about the 2003 sequels, The Matrixremains the highest-rated sci-fi war movie of all time. The Wachowskis introduced the world to Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, and the simulation so well the first time that audiences couldn't help but be excited for the final conflict against the machines. With a four-year gap and a back-to-bac...
