content for this list we’re looking at
science fiction movies that feature a
high degree of violent content we won’t
be basing them purely on gore factor
either we’re looking for a balance of
quality and intensity in our picks
number 10 children of men and the
dystopian future depicted in this film
humankind no longer has the ability to
have children as the majority of people
have inexplicably become sterile however
one pregnant woman is discovered and she
and her guardian find themselves in the
midst of a struggle to escape the
totalitarian regime they live under to
deliver her to scientists that can study
why she’s able to have a child the
pair’s frantic journey is fraught with
danger including frantic chase scenes
gun battles and traveling through a war
zone Children of Men depicts humanity’s
desperation when we have nothing left to
hope for and the result is entertaining
but shockingly violent
number nine district nine presented
partially through found-footage district
nine depicts a version of South Africa
where sickly aliens nicknamed prawns
arrived on earth and were confined to
the titular district in a reference to
apartheid when a bureaucrat named Vikas
is exposed to a substance that
transforms him into a prawn he becomes
embroiled in the conflict with his very
future in the balance don’t give up on
me okay because I I haven’t given up on
you all right the violence on display is
brutal and even more visceral due to the
found-footage approach as well as the
overall realistic aesthetic of the film
this along with the sharp social
commentary makes district 9 a
surprisingly humanizing sci-fi
experience number eight Total Recall I’m
sorry
would you please rephrase the question
how did that get in this taxi the door
open you got in in the sci-fi action
film a man named Douglas Quaid goes to a
memory implant company looking for a
little escapism in the form of a fantasy
role-playing trip as a secret agent of
Mars however the procedure awakens
dormant memories that he really is a spy
from the Red Planet an action-packed
adventure ensues in which he fights
goons and corporate greed to help the
oppressed Martian people
[Applause]
Total Recall has a flair for violence
that few films can match exposing its
audience members to dismemberment
gunfights and even explosive
decompression add some quotable
one-liners humor and an ambiguous ending
and you’ve got a bloody good time
see at the party reefster number seven
the matrix what are you trying to tell
me that I can dodge bullets are you
ready for the truth
the matrix is a highly influential
sci-fi action movie that follows a group
of people battling against oppressive
machines who keep humanity trapped in a
simulated dream world the violence is
stylish and presented throughout with
plenty of bloody shootouts breathtaking
fight scenes and even some torture and
body horror thrown in the inclusion of
philosophical questions about the nature
of our existence and the many literary
allusions hope make the matrix more than
just a standard action play as neo
arguably put it best number six
Starship Troopers when you’re tackling
the subject matter of war in outer space
violence is a given but Starship
Troopers really relishes it the film
follows Johnny Rico and his friends and
classmates as they rise through the
ranks of a futuristic military and fight
against the insectoid alien species
war is gory even in the future and
there’s a wide variety of carnage on
display thanks to all the explosions
gunplay and terrifying creatures
Starship Troopers also satirize as many
aspects of war particularly the
disparity between the realities of war
and the propaganda that glorifies it
back home as the soldiers learned
there’s a lot more than guts and glory I
need of course you’re it until you’re
dead well I find somebody better thank
you sir
number five Terminator 2 Judgment Day
although it was tempting to choose the
first Terminator film its sequel simply
does everything bigger better and more
intensely Terminator 2 ups the ante by
featuring a reprogrammed robot assassin
charged with protecting humanity’s
future savior John Connor and his mom
from an even more advanced liquid metal
terminator the action is pulse-pounding
and engaging throughout with shootouts
car chases robot fights and a grim look
at the apocalypse even with some
light-hearted and touching scenes
Terminator 2 Judgment Day remains a wild
and violent ride
goodbye
[Music]
number four predator although initially
a straightforward action movie following
a group of commandos on a jungle bound
mission predator takes a turn into
science fiction when the group against
getting picked off one by one by an
alien hunter in search of a worthy
opponent little at the wrists of Hoppus
man in this change the Predators dead
the game sees plenty of bullets fired
almost too many as well as lots of blood
gore and dismemberment if you’re up for
a thrilling testosterone-fueled
extremely quotable buffet of violence
predator is a movie with a ton of things
to make you stick around
number three dread dread follows the
titular judge and his rookie partner as
they take on a ruthless drug queen pin
and her thugs in one of the massive
apartment blocks that make up the
dystopian mega city one despite its
gritty realistic aesthetic Dredd

including psychic powers drugs that
alter the users perception of time and
those awesome swiss army knife guns

are spectacular which along with a
simple yet captivating story make Dredd
one hell of a trip
