5 Sci-Fi Movies I’m Looking Forward to this Fall

Time for another Friday Fun post. I haven’t posted one of these for a while, but it’s about time.

The speculative fiction movies get better and better every year. Sure, many are based on books, but hey, not everyone reads. I know that is a big shock to many, but what better way to draw new fans into sci-fi than with movies. And if they learn the movie is based on a book, they just might pick up a book to see what else is in the genre, what hasn’t been turned into a movie.

Anyway, here’s my top five movies I’m looking forward to this fall…

5) Everest – I do love a good disaster movie, whether in space or on Earth.

4) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 – Yes, I’ve read the books, and wasn’t happy with this ending, but I’ve watched the other films and want to see if they changed this part to give a more satisfactory ending.

3) Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials – I loved the first movie! And bought the box set of books to read after watching it. Even my husband enjoyed this movie and actually encouraged me to buy the books, which never happens.

2) Star Wars: The Force Awakens – C’mon, who isn’t excited to see this movie?

1) The Martian – Yes, this is the movie I am most excited about. Can you imagine being stuck on Mars? By yourself? Although I have the ebook, I listened to the audio book, and I cannot say enough good things about this story. For me, it’s a must, whether you read the book, listen to the audio book, or watch the movie. I will be doing all three, just like with The Host.
