7 Best Sci-Fi Movie Franchises That Aren’t Star Wars or Star Trek

Creating a thriving franchise is surprisingly difficult. We’ve seen many science fiction movies fail and damage their potential, and even some that diminished the legacy of earlier, successful films. Despite this, a few truly great sci-fi franchises have consistently delivered entertainment beyond the two most famous examples in the genre.

7 Most Important Women in Avengers History

These seven women are particularly important, as their contributions have shaped the Avengers into the group they are today.

10 Best Arcade Shooters of the 1980s, Ranked

Man, Tempest from 1981 is a seriously cool game. It’s a tube shooter with this really unique vector graphics style that makes it feel like you’re actually moving through 3D space. You control this little claw thing and basically spin around the inside of these tubes, blasting enemies as they come at you. It’s a total classic from the golden age of arcades, and honestly, it’s tough! But that’s what makes it so addictive. I love that you can pick your starting level with the SkillStep feature – it’s a great way to keep improving and pushing yourself to get better.

20 Years Later, V for Vendetta’s Director Explains the Key to Its Success

In 2006, audiences saw a comic book movie that felt completely different from anything they’d seen before. V for Vendetta, adapted from the work of Alan Moore and David Lloyd, used the familiar elements of a superhero story to explore a dark, fascist future.

Are We Sure Avengers: Doomsday Shouldn’t Be Scared of Dune 3?

Everyone assumed Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three would be the big movie battle of 2026. I mean, it’s Dune, and people are really excited. But it’s going head-to-head with the Avengers’ return – a franchise that consistently makes almost two billion dollars per film, including the massive hit Avengers: Endgame. However, after seeing the teasers for Doomsday and, finally, the trailer for Dune 3, and seeing how both films are vying for prime IMAX real estate, I’m starting to think it’s Marvel who should be feeling the pressure from Dune, not the other way around.

Remakes of Two PS2 Games Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 This Year

I’m so excited! I remember playing the original Destroy All Humans back in 2005 on the PS2 – it was such a fun game, even if it didn’t get the highest scores. It did really well though, which led to Destroy All Humans 2 in 2006. I always figured the originals would stay stuck on older consoles, but Black Forest Games and THQ Nordic have been doing a great job with remakes. The first remake came to Switch already, which was awesome, but the second one never did… until now! This year, both remakes are coming to the Switch 2, and I’m especially thrilled because it means I’ll finally be able to play the remake of Destroy All Humans 2 on a Nintendo console for the first time!

Dogecoin: The Rollercoaster Ride You Never Knew You Needed!

Marks’ analysis reveals a rather intriguing spectacle-a multi-year breakout from a line of resistance that had held Dogecoin’s price advances in a firm grip since that fateful peak in May 2021. This invisible barrier, drawn with the utmost precision from the high of yore through a series of disheartening lower highs, acted as a veritable fortress for an age before the price surged forth in early 2025, crafting a new narrative in its tumultuous saga.
