At the most recent meeting of the Milwaukee Science Fiction League, we discussed what the best items of 2022 were in terms of movies, TV shows, and books. Here's our overall consensus: Best Movies: Everyone agreed, hands down, the best SF movie of 2022 was Everything, Everywhere, All At Once . It was the surprise hit that left everyone satisfied. Other movies generally agreed upon included Jordan Peele's latest oddity, Nope . Recommended as a surprise sleeper hit was The Adam Project , which took a very cliche concept and made a great movie out of it anyway thanks to the interplay between Ryan Reynolds and child actor Walker Scobell. Everyone who saw Avatar: The Way of Water agreed that it was very pretty, but dull. It was also generally agreed that this year's blockbusters, with the exception of Wakanda Forever , had great special effects, but were otherwise disappointing. These included Thor: Love and Thunder , Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness , and Jurassic World:
