Nerdy films in 2017: Ars picks the year’s best and most beautiful

Need a good, nerdy movie marathon for year's end? 2017 concluded with a surprisingly robust selection of enjoyable flicks in the Ars pantheon, which we consider a mix of sci-fi, fantasy, documentaries, genre pieces, and tech-specific fare. This year's quality really only became apparent once I found myself enjoying putting this year-end list together. (Sometimes, these best-of pieces can be slogs. Not for 2017's films.)

The following picks are not numbered or ranked, but the recommendations get better and better from bottom to top.

Starting with the cheese: xXx: Return of Xander Cage, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
