If nothing else, 2017 has been a truly great year for science fiction and fantasy films. While many have been major motion pictures that no one could have avoided hearing about, there were also several standout movies that may have fallen through the cracks. We're here to fix that. Here are the fantastic films you may have missed this year, most of which are now currently streaming or available on Blu-ray.

The next movie on Nacho Vigalondo's post-Colossal slate is an intriguing team-up with Robert Kirkman. It isn't to adapt one of Kirkman's myriad comics, though; instead, they will be bringing the intense time travel series Comeback to theatres.

You'd be correct to call Colossal a monster movie. But it's not your standard creature feature; it's a genre-defying indie film that's ultimately a story not just about that 91.44m-tall monster stomping through Seoul, but also about battling our own personal demons, culminating in a fantastic, emotional ending.

The idea for Colossal sounds exactly that: "Colossal." A woman in the US can sometimes, when she's drunk and in the right place, become a giant monster in Seoul, South Korea. Add to that Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway, and it sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster. But that isn't what Colossal is at all.

Matt Nix's X-Men TV show also adds an important cast member. The team behind Alien: Covenant discusses copious amounts of blood and the design of its new Alien. Finn Jones wants Misty Knight and Colleen Wing to get their own TV show. Plus, a new behind-the-scenes look at Justice League, and Supergirl casts an iZombie star. Spoilers now!

Sam Worthington teases new Avatar details. Ron Moore and Bryan Cranston's Philip K. Dick anthology is headed to Amazon. Get a new snippet of Beauty and the Beast's soundtrack. Plus, a gorgeous new Logan poster, and Steven Moffat on whether or not Doctor Who could ever resurrect dead actors á la Rogue One. Behold, spoilers!

Video: Few movies have as original or weird a premise as Colossal. That premise: Anne Hathaway plays a woman who realises she can occasionally spawn a real-life giant monster halfway across the world that acts as her avatar, mimicking her movements.

In Colossal, Anne Hathaway plays an alcoholic underachiever who is forced to move back to her rural hometown. There, she realises if she stands in a certain place at a certain time, a massive kaiju that mimics her movements spawns in the city of Seoul, South Korea. Yes, you read that right.
