6 Worst Sci-Fi Movies of the 1990s

Science fiction was experiencing a renaissance in the ‘90s, even if not every film within the genre was successful. Independence Day and Jurassic Park shot to the top of the list of highest-grossing films ever made, and there were a number of “out there” sci-fi blockbusters that ended up being both critical and commercial successes, such as Total Recall and Twelve Monkeys. This was the decade that launched the Men in Black series, brought about Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and brought about a number of “guilty pleasure” sci-fi films starring the likes of Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, and Keanu Reeves. Of course, the genre changed in 1999 thanks to two of the most influential sci-fi films ever made; The Matrix opened up a new era of visual and philosophical possibilities for cyberbunk and tech noir, and Star Wars: Episode I- The Phantom Menace initiated a divide within the Star Wars fanbase that has only grown more complicated as the franchise has grown into different iterations.
