Space movies are entertaining, but they often overshadow the broader scope of science fiction. Sci-fi explores all areas of science, not just what happens in outer space, and it’s easy to lose sight of that. Luckily, many films demonstrate that the genre offers much more than just aliens and spaceships. Here are seven excellent sci-fi movies that don’t take place in space.

I’ve been thinking about it, and I’ve picked out five comic book moments that really showcase just how great he is.
Lionsgate recently announced that a new, high-quality video game based on the “Saw” franchise is coming soon. While most people know “Saw” as a series of movies that started in 2004, there have been a few games based on the films as well. A “Saw” game released in 2009 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gained a cult following despite mixed reviews. A sequel, “Saw 2: Flesh and Blood,” came out in 2010, but it wasn’t well-received, and no further “Saw” games were made. Now, Lionsgate is looking to return to gaming with the franchise, though details are still unclear.

The Fox engine was created with the aim of being a top-tier game engine, and it almost achieved that. However, it hasn’t been used much recently. Now that Konami is using Unreal Engine for new games, what’s become of the Fox Engine?
The success of the original Mass Effect trilogy created a lot of pressure for Mass Effect: Andromeda. When it launched in 2017, it needed to both honor what fans loved about the previous games and also offer something new. Unfortunately, strong feelings about the original trilogy and high expectations led to the game falling short. Though not a complete failure, Andromeda disappointed many and may have harmed the future of the Mass Effect series, contributing to difficulties for developer BioWare.
