From the page to the big screen, these are the best sci-fi movies based on books.
A picture might be worth a thousand words, but these pictures owe their existence to some of the finest sci-fi novels out there. These are the best sci-fi movies based on books.
It’s easy to see why Hollywood loves turning books into movies — you get an established story, characters, and fanbase. That fanbase can be a double edged sword though if your adaptation fails to live up to expectations. That wasn’t a concern for the movies below though, which more or less smashed it out of the park. We’ve got a great mix of sci-fi classics from renowned directors, some decades in the making, and even one book that was written alongside the movie.
Of course, it’s hard to please everyone and we all have our own ideas of how characters look and speak, how world’s are visualized, and what we dream up in our heads when reading these epic novels. But these movies have built wonderfully on their original stories and taken on an appeal all of their own. These are, in our humble opinion, the best sci-fi movies based on books.
If you’re excited by these entries and you’re eager for more, we’ve also put together the best sci-fi tv shows based on books because books aren’t just for feature length movies. And if that hasn’t quite quenched your thirst, for sci-fi hits we have also collated some of the best space movies and best space horror movies. Or if you’d rather pick up a book, this list of the best space books are well worth a read.
