Quando si parla di classifiche di film di fantascienza la questione si fa sempre pericolosa perchè necessariamente c’è una parte di gusto soggettivo che la renderà sempre diversa agli occhi di ognuno. Per questo quando parliamo dei 50 film di fantascienza degli anni duemila che ogni appassionato deve aver visto, non intendiamo fare una graduatoria gerarchica di tutte le uscite, quanto offrire un range entro il quale tutti dovrebbero più o meno muoversi.
Una “confort zone” da cui si dovrebbe partire insomma. Questi 50 film di fantascienza sono in qualche modo una base che difficilmente un appassionato può non aver visto, e se non l’ha ancora fatto, ecco l’occasione per recuperare. Questo non significa che dovranno piacere tutti per forza o che sono i “migliori film” dell’ultimo ventennio. Ma che per un motivo o per l’altro, sono imprescindibili e anche solo per una critica costruttiva andrebbero visti.
Che è poi il motivo per cui nella lista NON sono presenti nè i titoli delle saghe di Star Wars e Star Trek, nè dell’universo Cinematic della Marvel o il filone della DC. Perchè parliamoci chiaro, se sei un appassionato di fantascienza tutti quei film devi vederli in ogni caso quasi per forza (fosse anche solo per criticarli in qualche modo). Inoltre meriterebbero forse un discorso a parte, proprio perchè inseriti in un universo più complesso e collegato da analizzare, in cui slegare la singola pellicola è abbastanza riduttivo (pur ci sono differenze abissali tra un capitolo e l’altro delle varie serie).
Parimenti ci sarebbero tutta una serie di titoli interessanti ma forse meno conosciuti, che potrebbero certamente stare in questo elenco, ma anche in quel caso forse è meglio affrontare l’argomento partendo da un altro punto, come avevamo già fatto parlando dei “Migliori Film di fantascienza poco conosciuti degli ultimi anni“. Insomma gli spazi di manovra in questa lista sono tanti e spero possano essere motivo di discussione sul nostro gruppo Facebook di LDFO, ma intanto vediamo quali sono i 50 Film di Fantascienza che ogni appassionato dovrebbe avere visto assolutamente.
