Alien invasions, cyborgs, clones, zombie infestations and scientific experiments gone horribly, horribly wrong.

These are just some of the delights you can look forward to as Movie Pilot takes a look at the best new and upcoming Sci-Fi movies 2017 and some from 2018 has to offer.

2017 holds plenty of uncertainty, but great sci-fi movies look like a sure thing. Movie Pilot has walked through the biggest sci-fi releases of the year:

This, I felt, is really a movie of two parts: we have the CGI and action portions of the movie (set in the future, and largely featuring cyborgs), unfortunately tied to a somewhat lacklustre 'Young Adult' love story.

Oh, and if anybody ever wants a perfect example of 'Chekov's gun' (i.e. introduce a plot element early on that must go off later on) look no further than this: the 'Battle Ball' rollerball elements.

It was an interesting retelling of Cinderella only more futuristic, with people living on the moon and cyborgs living amongst people.

I liked the story but wasn't blown away by it. It kept me reading but at the same time I wasn't completely absorbed into it, like I am most other stories.

The thing between Cinder and Kai was cute, I just wish their had been more scenes of them together in the book.

I'm intrigued by what will happen in the next book, and maybe at some point I'll buy it and read it.

A great retelling of Cinderella's story. Set in the future the world is struggling against a deadly disease that has no known cure. As the disease spreads faster the royal family is also in hostile negotiations with the splinter society living on the moon called Luna. Cinder is a cyborg living with an adopitve family in a world where cyborgs and androids are property. Cinder is a highly acclaimed mechanic and her skills lead her to a meeting with the emperor's son. Multiple circumstances lead to Cinder landing in jail and her whole life being turned upside down.

This was a great continuation of the story, however, I feel it suffered a bit from middle book syndrome - ie, where is purpose is to move the overall series plot forward, and so neglected to find its own internal arch. This resulted with a slightly unsatisfying feelings. This won't matter in the long run, as I'm still intrigued and captured by the series plotting, but as a stand alone it lacks a little bit of spark. Also, still no world building as to what causes Cyborgs to be reviled, though still not a deal breaker it would be nice if this was explained. Prejudices generally don't stem from pure revulsion. There's always some kind of warped logic or distortion of history. In my head canon it's that cyborg technology came about following the fourth world war, and the disgust at the horrors of that war, linked to all the now cyborg ex soldiers fueled the prejudice.

Fact: When I discover a series that completely sucks me in...I simply have to binge read the whole thing. If the series has stand alone novels in it, it isn't as much torture and I can wait...But if it is a continuing storyline...You won't see me come up for air until I am done (or to post the reviews for said books). So pass me the Starbursts and Red Bull, I will see ya later! Oh, after I finish this post.

Scarlet picks up the day after Cinder ends. Cinder and Kai remain as main characters throughout the second book. But now we are introduced to a whole new level of intrigue in the storyline. Scarlet and Wolf are AMAZING! I adore them and can't wait to see where their story leads. Scarlet's grandmere is pretty awesome too!

As secrets unfold of her heritage and her grandmother's past, Scarlet embarks on a dangerous mission to find her grandmere and bring her home. Scarlet will do anything to protect the only family she has left, even at the risk of her own safety. We also begin to learn more about Cinder's past and everything that she has gone through.

Cyborgs, Wolf Gangs, Lunar aliens, space travel, escaped convicts, hidden princess, hidden genealogy, this series has so much to offer and entertain. Clean and sweet romance appropriate for Young Adults. I am comfortable recommending this book to teens and adults.
