Sci-fi and Fantasy movies goes straight up in my Favourite Genre list and Hollywood never runs short of treating us with mind blowing movies and special effects that knocks our boots off.

It was extremely tough to select only 5 movies from a plethora of scintillating movies, so don’t get disappointed if the movie you’re literally crossing days out for isn’t in the list.

 

1.    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Eddie Redmayne returns once again as Newt Scamander in the new Fantastic Beasts franchise and finally the fans of the Harry Potter series will be able to see a young Dumbledore played by none other than Jude Law.

Based on the book Mortal Engines by Philip Reeves, the story is based on a futuristic world where gargantuan cities on wheels prey over smaller towns and the main protagonist Hester Shaw, a mysterious woman is the only who can stop London, a predator city from destroying everything in its wake.
