Creating a great sci-fi movie is much harder than, say, creating a great comedy or drama. In order to make a fantastical film believable, screenwriters have to pay a lot of attention to world-building and the invention of realistic technologies, which is not something that many Hollywood scriptwriters excel at.

And while there have been plenty of great sci-fi movies made in the U.S. over the past few decades, there have been even more bad ones that are so badly written and directed that fans don't want anything to do with them.

Here are 9 sci-fi movie remakes so terrible they shouldn't exist:

If the synopsis of the movies on this list appeal to you, don't waste your time watching remakes and go straight to the originals - they did these incredible stories justice!

It's been a while since Hollywood released a pathetic remake of the fan-favorite sci-fi movie, but something tells us this is the calm before the storm.
