It’s sure to convert those few remaining holdouts. Don’t believe us? Check out our list of the 100 best sci-fi movies ever made. The best sci-fi movies deal as much with real-world issues as they do with interstellar conflict – it’s just that, in some cases, they may invent entirely new planets to discuss them. But the genre doesn’t just tell stories from long ago about galaxies far, far away. It’s hard to say if the geeks have taken over the entertainment industry or if the world at large has simply come to see the genre’s merits, but there might not be a bigger brand of movie than sci-fi around right now – in fact, it’s almost uncool not to be a fan these days.īut really, how could anyone in the third decade of the 21st century not appreciate science fiction to some degree? Sure, there are those who have an aversion to movies about alien cultures that inspire 4000-word theoretical treatises on fan forums. The organisation has yet to release details of the voyage – claiming only that it will be the “biggest, boldest, best adventure yet” – but its website assures would-be passengers that the cruise ship will not drift off the edge of the planet.Dismissed for decades as the realm of nerds and shut-ins, the reputation of science fiction has undergone a dramatic makeover in recent years. The cruise is being put on by the organisers behind the Flat Earth International Conference (FEIC), which will host its third annual jamboree in Dallas, Texas this November. Those setting sail on the cruise – scheduled to depart sometime in 2020 – will seek to confirm such theories, glossing over the fact that they will be guided by a GPS system that relies on the Earth being round. Some Flat Earthers liken our planet to a giant snow dome. There are various competing theories within the Flat Earth community, but the prevailing consensus seems to be that our disk-shaped world sits beneath a giant dome along with the sun, the moon and the stars. The cruise is the latest event put on for the burgeoning Flat Earth community, which believes the world is not a sphere but a flat disk encircled by Antarctica’s impenetrable icy walls.

Details are vague at the moment but it is understood the voyage will be a round trip.

Conspiracy theorists are organising a cruise to Antarctica to prove that Earth is flat.
