30 Most Underrated Space Movies You Need to Watch According to Looper

"Ever since the 1902 short film 'A Trip To The Moon' saw a rocket smash into the face of the lunar surface, Hollywood has been enamored with stories set amidst the stars. While science fiction movies can encompass many different kinds of remarkable stories, from time travel tales to futuristic dystopian post-apocalypses, stories set in outer space hold a special fascination for the audience and are a touchstone of the genre. Whether they're grounded tales of astronauts seeking out intelligent life or fantastic alien battles between good and evil, some of the biggest films of all time have taken place far from Earth among the vast and endless reaches of the cosmos. From a 1972 ecological sci-fi thriller to a 2021 Netflix original, here are underrated space movies you may have missed because they weren't lighting up the box office charts and that you need to watch." - looper.com
