Science fiction movies have come a long way, for sure. Acting, story lines, special effects, they have changed a lot and for a lot better that is. Not always can I say the same about movie posters though. Because if there was something they could do well back in the day, it was science fiction movie posters. Here you can see a selection of them through the years. My own personal favorites are the posters of the Metropolis (a movie from the year 1927).
