Slice of SciFi’s “Best of 2017” The movies and TV shows we rate as "Don't Miss"

Slice of SciFi’s “Best of 2017” The movies and TV shows we rate as "Don't Miss"

January 1, 2018 By Summer Brooks, Noah Richman and Andrea Rittschof Leave a Comment

We’re scifi fans, horror fans, and we have opinions.

Here’s a list of what a few of us think are the best and most entertaining movies and shows that 2017 had to offer!

From Andrea Rittschof:

Movies:
War for the Planet of the Apes: Best of the science fiction this year. The action kept me hooked.
The Shape of Water: Best retelling of a fairy tale I’ve ever seen.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle: This was the most fun I’ve had all year and the ensemble had superb acting.
LEGO Batman; Kept me laughing the entire movie, from beginning to end.
The Space Between Us: Best romance-scifi blend I’ve seen, very well balanced and great chemistry between the leads.

Television:
Runaways: One of the best of the new Marvel series.
The Defenders: The team up is awesome and ties well into the other Netflix series.
Stranger Things 2: This captures the eighties feel and the creepy vibe just is perfect.

From Noah Richman:

Movies:
When a Monster Calls
Coco
Wind River
It
Kong: Skull Island

From Summer Brooks:

Movies:
Wonder Woman: DC finally makes an origin story that connects
Get Out: Satire, horror and social commentary with unanticipated twists
Atomic Blonde: Best unreliable narrator spy action in a very long time
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2: The MCU brings all the pieces closer together

Indie / VOD movies:
Score: A Film Documentary:
They Call Me Jeeg Robot
Phoenix Forgotten: The human connections in a search for the truth about a UFO encounter keep this one engaging
Mayhem
The Quiet Hour
Sleight
Pop Culture Geeks honorable mention: Car Dogs

Television:
The Gifted (Fox): The best incarnation of Marvel’s mutants yet, by far
Superstition (Syfy)
The Expanse
Killjoys
Black Mirror
