From I Am Number Four to Chronicle, these are the best teen sci-fi movies of the 2010s.
The 2010s were a blockbuster set of years for teen movies, following in the footsteps of the late 2000s with an overhaul of young adult novel adaptations. The science-fiction genre arranged its own success with several franchises and multiple stand-alone movies. From found-footage features to multi-movie series and prequel installments, the storylines and world-building behind these movies provided a little bit of everything for everyone.
9 'The Host ' For millennials, author Stephanie Meyer created some of the most iconic fantasy characters of all time. She transferred her fanbase to sci-fi with this page-to-screen adaptation. The Host takes place in a world where an alien invasion overtook Earth seeking to eradicate the human mind by inserting the alien race—the Souls—into the human body, using it as a host. Melanie and a colony of humans have managed to survive in hiding.
The movie is based on a YA series of the same name written by Alexandra Bracken. While it earned positive scores from the teen sci-fi audience, The Darkest Minds struggled with critics to own its originality instead of getting lost in a sea of other popular YA page-to-screen adaptations. 6 'The Maze Runner' A dystopian sci-fi series written by James Dashner, three installments made their way to the big screen during the 2010s: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, and The Death Cure. The Maze Runner introduces a colony of teen boys who have no memory of how they came to be trapped inside a treacherous maze. Each day they send a team of "runners" to study and map the maze in hopes of escaping.
4 'Enders Game' With a star-studded cast, Ender's Game positioned itself as the formulaic sci-fi movie of the decade. As Earth continues to fend off the consistent onslaught of attacks from hostile aliens, recruit Ender Wiggin is selected for his unusual gifts to train under the Mazer program alongside the legendary Mazer Rackham to prepare for the upcoming war.
The release of the movie called back to the summer nostalgia of blockbuster movies even though it wasn't advertised to be one. Super 8 featured the directorial star power and combination of sci-fi elements that allowed it to retain an elevated status of something special in a decade of dozens of novel adaptations.
