## Key points

- The excerpt details choices from *Mickey 17* and *28 Years Later*.
- It praises *Superman*’s hopeful, relatable take on the hero.

## Summary

The article presents five lines from science-fiction films released so far in the 2020s, arguing that strong writing has helped make it a successful decade for the genre. It highlights films including the *Dune* series, *Mickey 17*, *28 Years Later* and *Superman*, while noting that the selection is subjective and may be overtaken by later films.

The excerpt gives three of the five choices. In *Mickey 17*, Robert Pattinson’s Mickey dryly remarks, “Even on my 17th go-around, I hate dying,” reflecting the film’s cloning premise. In *28 Years Later*, Ralph Fiennes’s Dr Kelson describes his skull monument as a memorial to the dead, while *Superman* is praised for presenting the hero with optimism, humility and vulnerability; the excerpt cuts off before giving Superman’s selected quote or the remaining two choices.
