We took a trip through decades of the genre and came up with a list of the most important and best hard science fiction movies of all time. They are the essence and the foundations of the book of sci-fi rules that's still being written as we, the audience, become much more self-aware of our relationship with technology, the future, and whatever those two will bring.

Gravity and Ad Astra don't belong on this list. Also they suck.

I hate Ad Astra so much. I was so hyped for it and then almost left the theater when we were watching it.

Gravity is not too terrible. Rewatched it recently. It’s a fun watch the first time but it’s too shallow for subsequent views.

Gravity is not bad IMHO, but it lost its hard sci fi cred ::: spoiler with the Sixth Sense shenanigans ::: .

If astronaut's can't go crazy is your criteria for hard scifi then the complete list of hard scifi movies is:

Martian

That's it.

That's very subjective. I hate Interstellar because I think it's laughably dumb but many other people have a raging hard-on for that shitty movie. Ad Astra was very weird and very boring, but I liked the interesting visuals.
