Ten sci-fi movie monsters that could destroy humanity

Hollywood has, over the years, introduced the film-watching public to all manner of sci-fi movie monsters from outer space. After all, how are you going to make your star look good if there’s no spiky, Vaseline-vomiting abomination to put them in peril? Often that’s all the beast is, a hastily-conceived nemesis for our hero to conquer.

But, sometimes, moviemakers put real thought into their creatures, delivering foes that could not only pose a threat to the crew of the S.S. Expendable or Arctic Station Gonnadie, but the whole of humanity itself. Take the H. R. Giger-designed Alien, from the movie series of the same name. A deleted scene revealed the Alien was able to transform other beings into eggs, meaning that if a single egg or Alien made it to Earth, the whole planet could be awash with the creature.

Suddenly, it’s not enough for one or two lucky survivors to drag themselves out of the wreckage, they’ve got to stop the organism/entity/Eldritch Horror from reaching civilization. A few sci-fi protagonists even go so far as to choose self-sacrifice to destroy something that could doom humanity. So, in the spirit of respecting their fictional sacrifices, we’ve put together a list of best sci-fi movie monsters that could conceivably destroy humanity. And, just to help you sleep soundly, we’ve pondered if there’s any scientific basis for their existence. Also be sure to check out our
