1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
I'm a SW fanatic, there is no other option.
2. Furious 7
I'm honestly not as huge on these films as others are, I find most of the crew unlike-able and often times the action gets too cartoony. But, they accomplished a casting masterstroke with getting Jason Statham as the villain out to terminate them with extreme prejudice. Not only that, but I'm interested to see how James Wan, capable of putting more intelligent genre stuff than the other director's who'd done the franchise, handles having a villain entirely justified in his actions.
3. Chappie
Elysium let a lot of people down, but not me. I'm completely in love with Blomkamp's style and complete lack of subtlety. It reminds me of Paul Verhoeven's approach.
4. Jupiter Ascending
This one looks bugnuts and I love what the Wachowskis are capable of when they're completely unfiltered.
5. The Hateful Eight
It's QT making a tight thriller like Reservoir Dogs, while maintaining his spaghetti western style with an awesome cast. What part of that doesn't sound awesome?
I'd also like to include a shout out to The Martian which doesn't appear on the poll. It's a Ridley Scott sci-fi.
