The Best Sci-Fi Female Movie Characters


In honor of director Alex Garland's new movie, Annihilation, I decided to post a special and fun article surrounding the best or memorable female movie characters in science fiction, regarding the amount of action, comedy, drama, romance, etc. It is Annihilation is highlighting five female characters going on a mission to find out what happened to the biologist's husband and also the key to what happened beyond that mysterious border. Plus, I love the science fiction genre so when researching for female characters in sci-fi movies, there were more than I imagined and it was tough to limit the number of characters onto this list. So, I posted 15-20 via video clips.

There will be debate whether or not that a few of these movies on the list are actually science fiction movies but if you add enough sci-fi (ex: dystopia) to let's just say an action or drama, then I believe it is credited as a sci-fi film. So, here they are, we'll start with the obvious memorable three and work on from there:


Ellen Ripley - Alien franchise


Sarah Connor - Terminator & Terminator 2


Leia - Star Wars franchise


Ava - Ex Machina


Rachael - Blade Runner


Dr. Louise Banks - Arrival


Furiosa - Mad Max: Fury Road


Sgt. Rita Vrataski - Edge of Tomorrow


Dr. Ryan Stone - Gravity


Uhura - Star Trek


Dr. Ellie Satler - Jurassic Park


Dr. Ellie Arroway - Contact


Trinity - The Matrix


Murph - Interstellar


Katniss Everdeen - The Hunger Games franchise


EVE - Wall-E


Clementine - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind


Rey - Star Wars: The Force Awakens

2015 Documentaries

I have only seen 6 documentaries this year which also includes Amy and I Am Chris Farley . But, I have to be honest, this has not been a particularly strong year for documentaries except for onethat got me emotionally and mentally as what I examine for when they uncover the truth or some facts from the people involved in these documentaries. But, here are the four I have seen this year: Listen To Me Marlon, Unrated, 4 stars This is the most insightful documentary of the year as we only hear Marlon Brando narrating his life and experiences what he has gone through regarding his family, his private life and his film experiences regarding The Godfather , Apocalypse Now , Last Tango in Paris , etc. It is like Marlon Brando came out of his grave to give us another profoundly moving movie only we hear his voice and scenery and nothing else. The Look of Silence, R, 3.5 stars Joshua Oppenheimer's follow-up documentary is a light-hearted but still-disturbing film regarding a ...

Daddy's Home 2 (2017), PG-13, ★1/2

The first Daddy's Home was surprisingly a financial success as I thought it was not as bad as many people thought. I thought it was a solid cable watch because it had enough laughs for that sort of mixed recommendation. I was not craving for a sequel for this movie because again, comedy sequels have a very bad record, however, the only difference is that it is not too late since the first movie came out a few years ago. But, this sequel is a reminder as to why we do not need a sequel to a hit comedy because this is a pretty much forgettable comedy, especially a holiday comedy...which I hade a guilty pleasure for. This did not work for me. Brad and Dusty (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) have become friends after the events of the first film and they set up a co-dad system where their two children, Megan and Dylan, spending time at each father's home. Dusty has re-married to writer Karen (Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio) and he is step-dad to Adrianna, Karen...

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), R, 4 stars

The stockbrokers worshipping Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) like a god. Wall Street. The clients, the adrenaline, the stocks, the money, the power, and the decadence. The former three pertains to the man's job, but the latter three pertains what any stockbroker wants in order to have the freedom to do whatever they want with the client's money. As Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey) would say, "The name of the game is: move the money from your client's pocket into your pocket." We basically spend three hours seeing all of these Wall-Street scumbags steal the clients' money into their own pockets and spend it on booze, drugs, women, and other insane things in more insane activities. I have witnessed here is a great movie that I would not watch repetitively. The movie starts with Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) blowing cocaine onto a hooker's butt and he and his brokers throwing a little person onto a board with a dollar sign in the center. It'...
