Movies about Underground city
What is significant of real science fiction? How to tell if it is the real deal? Underground cities of course! Underground cities are just as much trademarks of sci fi as humanoids, ray guns and spacecrafts are. Those places have that special aura of surviving the catastrophe by superior technology and futuristic hard core industrialism, that we all could use a little more of in our daily lives.
Here is five of them you must visit:
Město žen
The City of women in the Polish, political, satirical and impressingly well made “sexmission” from 1984 – This movie can actually be found on Youtube in full length:
Zion from Matrix
Zion is built four kilometers below the Earth’s surface and inhabits about 250.000 people.The city has a huge defense system known as “The Zion Defense Grid” and a great club scene!
THX 1138 (1971)
THX 1138 by George Lucas takes places in an unnamed underground city of the future, where sexual intercourse is outlawed and use of mind-altering drugs is mandatory. Narcotics are critical both in maintaining compliance among the city’s residents and also for ensuring their ability to conduct dangerous and demanding tasks for long periods of time. We follow the love and escape of two of the cities citizens.
Město Ember
For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. The story follows two children, Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway) living in this city.
Unfortunately Ember’s once powerful generator is failing … and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker- The two children decide then to search for clues that will unlock ancient mysteries about the city and save the people of Ember before it’s too late.
The Underground City – Jules Verne
Jules Verne might have been the father of the modern underground city. Go through his works and you´ll find a common theme about going deep down. For instance we have “Voyage au centre de la terre” from 1864 and “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” from 1872. In his his novel The Underground City he investigates the possibility of living underground. Read it online here: Link

Full Trailer for Underground City Sci-Fi ‘Silo’ Starring Rebecca Ferguson
«I don’t care about order! What about finding out the truth?!» Apple has unveiled the mail official trailer for their new sci-fi series titled Silo, arriving for streaming starting in May. This new title, Silo, is the same title as the book series it’s based on — but the project was going with the title Vlna zpočátku. Silo is the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Rebecca Fergusonová stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don’t kill you, the truth will. The series also stars Tim Robbins, Rashida Jones, David oyelowo, Společný, Harriet Walterová, Avi Nash, Chinaza Uche, & Iain Glen. I’m a bit wary of the ultimate message of this, but I’m absolutely intrigued and certainly need to watch. Check out this trailer.

Movies about Underground city
An interesting sub-genre of science fiction films (to me anyway) are films that take place mostly underground. There are more such films than you might expect. Here are my top 10 favorite subterranean science fiction movies.
1. Jeskyně (2005) – A group of cave divers explore a huge underground cave system in Romania. It doesn’t go well. A weird parasite infects all kinds of creatures, including bats and humans, and turns them into pretty scary mutations. This movie got bad reviews but it kept me on the edge of my seat.
2. The Descent (2005) – Six women decide to go cave exploring in the Appalacians. Choices: a.) go to a well-mapped cave system, or b.) try an unexplored cave system that just might have murderous albino descendats of cave men. The expedition goes about as you’d guess. This movie got great reviews.
3. The Core (2003) – A group of scientists, including Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank, travel to the center of the earth to set off nuclear explosions to fix the molten core which has stopped spinning. Completely absurd science but good entertainment.
4. Stroj času (1960) – Rod Taylor uses his time machine to go back forward in time to the year 802701 A.D. where he finds the Eloi, the remnants of human civilization (including Yvette Mimieux), being used as a food source for the Morlocks.
5. First Men in the Moon (1964) – Victorian scientists get to the moon where they discover an underground race of insect-like beings called Selentites. Very good special effects for the time (by the brilliant Ray Harryhausen). Based on the HG Wells 1901 book.
6. Cesta do středu Země (1959) – James Mason and Pat Boone find Atlantis at the center of the earth. Just a good, fun adventure film. The expedition escapes in a giant bowl up through a volcano.
7. Battle Beneath the Earth (1967) – Strange film. Renegade Chinese army generals use burrowing machines to tunnel under the U.S.A. in order to place atomic bombs. Stars Kerwin Mathews who is largely forgotten today but did many interesting films in the 1960s.
8. V jádru Země (1976) – Based on an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel, Doug McClure and Peter Cushing use a fantastic drilling machine to go underground where they find a race of Mahars — flying telepathic reptiles who keep humans enslaved.
9. Unknown World (1951) – An obscure film that can’t really be called good but it does have a certain amount of charm. A group of scientists use the Cyclotram, an atomic powered burrowing machine to go deep into the Earth where they find an underground world.
10. The Mole People (1956) – Archaeologists find a race of Sumerian albinos living deep under the Earth. The Sumerians keep mutant humanoid mole men as their slaves to harvest mushrooms. This movie was featured on Mystery Science Fiction Theater 3000.
