Science fiction (sci-fi) films explore imaginative and futuristic concepts, often dealing with advanced technology, space exploration, time travel, or extraterrestrial life. These movies push the boundaries of what is possible, blending scientific ideas with speculative storytelling. Sci-fi films often serve as social commentaries, challenging viewers to think critically about human nature, ethics, and the future of civilization.
