Want to know the best Zoe Saldana movies? How about the worst Zoe Saldana movies? Curious about Zoe Saldana box office grosses or which Zoe Saldana movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Zoe Saldana movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well, you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Zoe Saldana (1978-) is an American actress and dancer. I remember how amazed I was when Harrison Ford was Han Solo and Indiana Jones at the same time. Well, Zoe Saldana has Han Jones beat because she has 3 major movie characters going at the same time. Saldana plays Uhura in the Star Trek movies, Gamora in the Guardian of the Galaxy movies, and Neytiri in the Avatar movies. Her IMDb page shows over 55 acting credits since 1999. This page will rank Zoe Saldana movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows and movies that were not released in North American theaters were not included in the rankings. To do well in our rankings a movie has to do well at the box office, get good reviews by critics, be liked by audiences, and get some award recognition.
Drivel part of the page: For some reason, I decided it would be a good idea to write a new movie page every other day in January. Well, that idea was put to the test today. This has been one hectic crazy day. So at 8:00 PM with no movie page being worked on, I started thinking about what could I put together really quickly. A quick check showed it had been 18 pages since we did an actress movie page. So looking at the request Hot Line…Zoe Saldana jumped off the page. So that is how we finally got around to doing this Zoe page. FYI: Made it with 70 minutes to spare.

For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
Did you forget she was in Star Trek Beyond? I saw the Yelchin, Nimoy and Star Trek pages were updated, yet the sexiest woman in the world does not get the treatment. Come on Mr. Cogerson you are better than that.
Sorry my last comment was done in a humorous light but after reading it after posting it , it seems more angry than funny. 🙂 🙂 🙂 triple happy face.
Hey Stein….yep I forgot about her being in the movie…I will get that page updated soon. No worries….I found the humor in your first comment. Thanks for all the Star Wars comments…they were greatly appreciated.
I mean Star Trek comments.
Ah. Zoe getting some respect.
Hey Stein….yep…your comment shamed me into updating her page…lol. Can’t believe I missed her when I was updating all of those Star Trek people. Thanks for the heads up.
Zoe has been in some very popular films, not only Avatar and Star Trek, but now also a part of the Marvel Universe as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy. She’s a very lucky girl.
I’ve seen 13 of the 27 films you’ve listed here. Avatar, Star Treks, Guardians and Pirates are my favorites here. She was good in Colombiana and The Losers, did not like The Terminal much, one of a handful of Spielberg films I haven’t bought on DVD. Out of the Furnace was an interesting film, well worth checking out.
Enjoyed the trivia and the stats. Voted Up.
Hey Steve….not sure if anybody has been going in THREE franchises at the same time. Maybe she can pick up a 4th franchise…lol. I am at 18 Zoe movies watched. I also did not really enjoy The Terminal…..I will say it was better on the second viewing….I might love it on the third viewing…..lol. I liked Out of the Furnace….Woody Harrelson was awesome in that role….sad that his performance was barely noticed. As always….thanks for the visit and the comment.
Nice!
