The 25 Best Sci-Fi Movies on Netflix. 2015 Director: Tim Johnson. Internet Movie Database users vote for the top fifty all-time Science Fiction movies.
Today, much of Netflix’s Sci- fi library is filled with recently- released- to- VOD micro- budget titles with the exception of a classic or two. In other words, Sci- fi isn’t exactly a strong point in the realm of what Netflix has for genre offerings, but there is still plenty to pick from if you feel like bemoaning the destiny of our technological world. Though we’ve avoided superhero movies and fantasy- first films—to be included in future lists—we’ve picked the best of what remains, which still provides plenty to wreck your every conception of reality and human potential, from medieval alien grotesquerie to a 1. For other genres and types, check out Paste’s many, many Best Movies lists, and then make your way through the following. Whatever the future holds, for the time- being check out our choices for the 2. Sci- fi movies on Netflix. Fire in the Sky Year: 1.
Director: Robert Lieberman. Travis Walton (D. B. Sweeney) may or may not be a rambling loon who said he was abducted by aliens in 1. Fire in the Sky out of it.
Robert Patrick appears against type as a guy who isn’t a liquid metal killer robot from the future, in a role that probably set him up for a permanent spot on The X- Files. You can call it a mystery, in a vaguely Twin Peaks- like fashion, but there’s also a pretty deep vein of existential horror in Fire in the Sky, amplified by the truly terrifying “probing” scenes with the aliens, which are presented in graphic detail.
Science Fiction and Horror films: monsters and aliens, space and time travel, experiments gone wrong, unimagined disasters. Here’s our picks for the best and worst science fiction and fantasy films of 2015. First, the good news: 2015 was a fantastic year at the movies. 1ChannelMovie - Watch Sci-fi Movies online on 1ChannelMovie - The best selection of FREE streaming Sci-fi Movies available.

It’s a film about our powerlessness and insignificance on a cosmic scale, made only worse by our indifference toward the buried pain of our friends and neighbors. Europa Report Year: 2. Director: Sebastian Cordero. With echoes of 2. Sebastian Cordero’s innovatively structured thriller enthralls with not only its apparent scientific accuracy, but the passion it portrays among a class of people historically characterized by pocket protectors, taped eyewear and social awkwardness.
Aboard the Europa One (Kubrick’s vessel was called the Discovery One), the six scientists bound for Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons (HAL and his crew were headed for the gas giant itself), are living, breathing human beings, with families and fears, ambition and emotions. They’re also just smarter than most of us and on a mission more significant than any of us will experience ever in our lives. The stakes are high in this mock doc/faux found- footage mystery, in which the privately funded space exploration company Europa Ventures issues a documentary on the fate of its first manned mission to investigate the possibility of alien life within our solar system. The sacrifices may be steep, but Europa Report is convinced—and wants to convince you—that this is what it will take to explore such frontiers. Home Year: 2. 01. Director: Tim Johnson Home is a hammy, intro- to- colonialism flick for kids, the precursor to Disney’s 2.
Zootopia. But Home’s goofy, hyperbolic melodrama works in its favor, in large part because said goofy, hyperbolic melodrama is couched within the parameters of animated children’s fare, and is more palatable as a result. If you’re the parent of young kids, and if you want to introduce them to the joys of science- fiction, Home is a fine place to start, where Oh (Jim Parsons), an endearingly loquacious member of the alien race known as the Boovs, befriends Tip (Rihanna), a teenager searching for her mother in Australia. Because that’s where the Boovs relocate all of humanity following a “friendly” invasion of Earth, which they deem a suitable planet to call their new home after escaping their enemies, the Gorg.
It’s a bit basic, but basic works in Home’s favor, allowing its darker subtext to shine without feeling overwhelming for kids or dishonest for adults. Death Race 2. 05. Year: 2. 01. 6 Director: G. J. Echternkamp. The first official sequel to Paul Bertel’s Death Race 2. Death Race 2. 05. It’s dumb, and it knows it’s dumb—knows that it should be dumb—but it doesn’t actually want to be dumb, which is probably where it goes from sci- fi action romp to dour thriller and pushes to a climax that literally burns everything to the ground. Just as our country deserves. Download Same Kind Of Different As Me (2017) Movie Tumblr there.
Still, director G. J. Echternkamp—who’s on Netflix five times, twice as the director of the documentary and the film based on the documentary about his dysfunctional parents—knows how to squeeze every drop of insanity from an already- strangled budget, which makes the scope of Death Race 2. It’s a big dumb movie about a future cross- country race in which killing innocent people is rewarded and mass destruction a given, but it’s also a Marxist screed against a dystopic future in which the means of labor are taken from us and society is subdued by virtual reality fantasy, as well as the best representation in over a decade of Malcolm Mc. Dowell at his purest: puerile, pompous and entirely game for whatever.
Perfect Sense Year: 2. Director: David Mackenzie. Great romantic dramas with a sci- fi twist aren’t the kind of thing that come along on a regular basis, which is just one reason that David Mackenzie’s (Hell or High Water) Perfect Sense should have received both more attention and acclaim. Starring Ewan Mc. Gregor and Eva Green, it’s got the star power and gravitas to pull off an ambitious, unique, highly emotional story about how mankind deals with loss. Pda Formats Rat Film (2017) Review Film.
As a mysterious pandemic sweeps the globe, everyone begins to lose specific senses, one after another. First, the entire world loses its sense of smell, and life must adapt accordingly. Then, taste is lost, and once again life must find a way to go on.
Mc. Gregor and Green play lovers just beginning a relationship as the world begins to collapse around them, and the film meanders its way through their shifting of priorities. Uncompromising in its vision and consequences, Perfect Sense can be a bit dire, but it’s always beautiful. The Road Year: 2. Director: John Hillcoat The Road, like any Cormac Mc. Carthy adaptation, isn’t a picnic.
What’s remarkable about the film is that it’s both softer and harsher than Mc. Carthy’s original novel at the same time—a tad more sentimental, but by virtue of its medium it’s also more confrontational and visceral, which makes the experience of watching it soul- sucking as only cinema about the apocalypse can be. But consider the director, John Hillcoat, who made 2.
The Proposition prior to The Road. In The Road, as in The Proposition, Hillcoat imagines the world around us as a blasted landscape, though here he has traded out his hellish portrait of the Australian outback for a desolate, ash- coated post- American landscape where trusting strangers is a death sentence and constant paranoia the key to survival. They give the film a heart that its scenery and action wholly lack.
Robinson Crusoe on Mars Year: 1. Directors: Byron Haskin. In which the most useless astronaut in the universe gets away with calling an alien “retarded” and forms a semi- functional love affair with his space- monkey, Mona. Dopey sci- fi fairy tale, Robinson Crusoe on Mars is a relic of its time, but it’s still worth revisiting to appreciate the obvious care director Byron Haskin sunk into his visuals. Every Martian landscape is a vast, beautiful orange tundra upon which Commander “Kit” Draper (Paul Mantee), interstellar nitwit and incompetent human ambassador, lumbers, failing at every turn to demonstrate any shred of the basic survival training one would assume an astronaut would be required to have. Watching Draper struggle through the painful thought process of interpreting the otherworldly terrain around him becomes unbearable, especially when he basically tells the camera what his situation is (“I have only enough air for six hours if I don’t over- exert myself”) and then does the opposite (sprints toward the downed ship of his astronaut friend, though it’s obvious dude’s dead and there’s no point in running).
