I was sceptical at first, but along with the amazing cast, storyline, cinematography, and music, this truly delivers on all levels. The show is rated a 15 ooh!

While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction. A local cop Joseph Gordon-Levitt teams with a teenage dealer Dominique Fishback and a former soldier fueled by a secret vendetta Jamie Foxx to fight power with power and risk-taking the pill in order to stop its production.
Why you should watch: Netflix's homegrown sci-fi often makes you wonder who on Earth is giving the green light to some of these projects, "Another Life," nuff said , but this one is worth a watch. Gordon-Levitt is guaranteed to be outstanding in just about any movie he's in and Fishback also gives a stellar performance. It has a gritty, indie feel, with some nuanced layers to the story, making an enjoyable, interesting sci-fi noir. The cinematography in this movie is what Kathryn Bigelow's sci-fi noir thriller "Strange Days" desperately needed.
Synopsis: Three college students on a road trip across the Southwest experience a detour — the tracking of a computer genius who has already hacked into MIT and exposed security faults. When the trio finds themselves drawn to an eerily isolated area, suddenly everything goes dark. When one of the students regains consciousness, he finds himself in a waking nightmare. Why you should watch: This little-known movie is a tense thriller with an epic twist at the end.
A great cast — including Olivia Cooke, Brenton Thwaites and Laurence Fishburne — together with a well-written script, add up to an edge-of-seat sci-fi thriller. Synopsis: In a future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet and leaves the Earth completely covered in snow and ice, a class system evolves aboard the Snowpiercer, a train that travels non-stop around the globe.
Finally, an uprising gathers enough momentum to crash through barriers put in place and work its way to the front of the train. Why you should watch: It took the success of "Parasite" at the Academy Awards for the work of Boong Joon-ho to be bought to mainstream attention, but "Snowpiercer" is also one of his and it's really very good.
Unfortunately, the TV adaptation currently airing on TNT has utterly failed to capture the essence of this movie and has instead taken the plot in a ludicrous new direction. Synopsis: In the year , space is full of dangerous floating garbage like discarded satellites and deserted spaceships. The crew of The Victory trawls between the Earth and the Moon looking for the garbage they can sell to make money, while also competing with junk collector ships from other countries and using the speediness of their craft to defeat their rivals.
Why you should watch: The South Koreans have produced some quality movies in the past that should really be watched if you have any interest in contemporary foreign cinema, including "The Brotherhood of War," "Parasite" and "The Host" and while this might not be up to quite the same standard of dramatic quality, it's an enjoyable sci-fi action romp with high production values and extremely effective special effects.
Synopsis: Set in the not too distant future, a US special forces unit fighting somewhere in Europe in what appears to be a global conflict encounters a weird, ghost-like entity that can be killed and is only visible in certain light spectrums. Before long, more of these phenomena are detected and troops are being wiped out, left and right. Why you should watch: It's a little bit "Aliens," a little bit "Battle Los Angeles" and maybe even a little bit "World War Z" and if you like all of those, you'll enjoy this too.
A great cast including James Badge Dale, Max Martini, Bruce Greenwood and Gonzalo Menendez — all veterans of quality action movies — carries this straightforward, but stylish sci-fi drama that shows off extremely high production values. Synopsis: A down-on-his-luck archaeologist, whose unusual theories about aliens and ancient Egypt are ridiculed by his peers, is recruited to decipher an ancient hieroglyph on mysterious giant ring-like device found in Giza in the s.
It turns out that his theories were actually correct and he's able to unlock the device, which then activates a wormhole portal between worlds on different sides of the galaxy.
Why you should watch: This is the movie that spawned one of the most successful television sci-fi spin-off franchises in history. Synopsis: The direct sequel to the epic original "Terminator" sees Sarah Conner Linda Hamilton incarcerated in a maximum-security insane asylum for continuing to believe that the world ends on August 29th, Meanwhile Skynet sends another, more advanced Terminator back in time in a second attempt to assassinate John Conner Edward Furlong , this time when he's just a boy.
However the resistance is also able to send a Terminator through — one of the earlier T models Arnold Schwarzenegger. Why you should watch: Not only is this one of the rare instances where the sequel is at least as good as the original other examples include "Aliens," "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Superman II" but this is also one of the best sci-fi action movies ever made.
Writer and director James Cameron truly pushed the edge of the VFX envelope back in when he gave us the magnificent mimetic polyalloy T Robert Patrick. Synopsis: When lowly construction worker Douglas Quaid visits Rekall for a virtual vacation memory of Mars, an unexpected and harrowing series of events unfolds, leading him to discover along the way to the Red Planet that he might be a secret agent under deep cover. Why you should watch: Let's get one thing clear, forget the remake, the original version is vastly superior.
This adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" is an epic rollercoaster ride of Verhoeven-style action and adventure and has become considered a classic sci-fi movie of the 90s.
If that sounds the same as the film above, that's because this is basically a remake. Why you should watch: You shouldn't watch this, it's that simple.
We've included it on this list as a warning to stay away from it, especially if you enjoyed the Verhoeven version. An impressive cast is utterly wasted and it relies much more heavily on computer generated effects to wow the viewer into thinking this is a quality flick, 'cause it isn't. Gimmicks have been added as excuses to use extensive VFX and it just cheapens the memory of the vastly superior earlier version.
Total Waste of Time. Synopsis: Set in the distant future when the sun is about to expand into a red giant and devour the Earth, mankind makes an audacious attempt to save the planet. People all around the world unite and build giant planet thrusters to move Earth out of its orbit and sail Earth to a new star system.
Yet the year journey comes with unexpected dangers, and in order to save humanity, a group of young people in this age of a wandering Earth fight hard for the survival of humankind. Why you should watch: This is without the Chinese equivalent of a Michael Bay sci-fi movie and as such it's utterly bonkers, but beautiful to watch.
The performances are good, but the VFX, along with the out-of-this-world concepts, are truly the stars of this flick as our now frozen planet begins its slow journey through space, powered by hundreds of giant "planet engines. Synopsis: Two brothers try to kill boredom by playing an old and forgotten game recently discovered in the basement of their house.
However, they quickly discover the space-themed game has some unusual qualities; a roll of the dice unexpectedly launches their house into outer space and before long, they're fending off menacing robots, angry aliens, and showers of interstellar debris outside the Earth's atmosphere. Why you should watch: In essence, this could be considered "Jumanji" in space and in fact it's actually a sequel, both books being written by Chris Van Allsburg. It's a great family film and thankfully director Jon Favreau doesn't rely too heavily on CGI, instead choosing practical effects, models and real sets to convey the chaotic adventure undertaken by the Budwing family.
Strong performances from the cast complete this entertaining sci-fi adventure flick. Synopsis: After years on ice, a prisoner returns to life in a new body with one chance to win his freedom: by solving a mind-bending murder. Why you should watch: Season 2 is now available, so if you haven't seen Season 1, you've got 8 hours and 52 minutes worth to get through first. The second season is considerably better than the first, but to get maximum enjoyment, we suggest taking in the first season as well.
The production design on this is incredible and thankfully Anthony Mackie helps bring the story up to the same standard of the Blade Runner-esque visual aesthetic. Play trailer Adventure Comedy Romance. See more at IMDbPro. Top rated TV Episodes Browse episodes.
