Today, science fiction movies are some of the most profitable in the film industry. In order for a studio to be successful in Hollywood, they must have at least one major sci-fi franchise; whether it's Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Trek, or The Hunger Games. But science fiction wasn’t always the norm. It used to be a very fringe genre, and there were always some really weird sci-fi movies. But the '90s had probably the weirdest sci-fi movies of all time.
When most people think of '90s sci-fi movies, they think of the blockbusters that dominated the decade. Terminator 2 . Jurassic Park . independence Day . Man in black . matrix . But alongside these critical successes, there were several films that were downright bizarre. There are plenty of movies about strange aliens and dystopian futures, as well as some inexplicably weird types. The campy atmosphere of several of these films is off the charts, and the casting of some of them is absolutely amazing. Mick Jagger and Emilio Estevez making a movie together? What?
