Netflix boasts a solid sci-fi film library, so it can be tough to decide where to start.<\/p>\n

The streamer is currently home to modern hits like \u201cGodzilla Minus One\u201d and \u201cFuriosa,\u201d classics that deserve to be seen like \u201cStarship Troopers\u201d and fun-for-the-whole-family offerings like the Oscar-nominated animated hit \u201cThe Wild Robot.\u201d With a library like that, there really is something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Below, we laid out nine sci-fi film options to check out when you\u2019re next at a loss for what to watch.<\/p>\n

\"GodzillaToho<\/p>\n

Godzilla Minus One<\/p>\n

Every modern attempt at a new Godzilla film has consistently been weak in the same category: the human element. That is, until \u201cGodzilla Minus One\u201d rolled through town. The film is set in Japan right after WWII and follows a former soldier who rallies a group to face off against the titan as a way to redeem himself from an earlier encounter during the war.<\/p>\n

The scenes of Godzilla causing mayhem by land and by sea are gorgeously rendered and often terrifying, but it\u2019s those human moments in between that set \u201cGodzilla Minus One\u201d a cut above the rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Furiosa:Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga<\/p>\n

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga<\/p>\n

\u201cFuriosa\u201d is a movie that shouldn\u2019t work and nobody asked for. With a deck stacked like that, it\u2019s remarkable just how incredible the George Miller film turned out to be. \u201cFuriosa\u201d is a prequel and origin story of the \u201cMad Max: Fury Road\u201d standout character, originated by Charlize Theron. <\/p>\n

In this film, the younger Furiosa is played by Anya Taylor-Joy, and although it\u2019s an unenviable task, she knocks it out of the park. Beside her is Chris Hemsworth, going full unhinged as the villain Dementus. Every aspect of this movie is a home run and not enough people saw it in theaters in 2024. Make up for it now.<\/p>\n

\"TheyJamie Foxx as Slick Charles in \u201cThey Cloned Tyrone.\u201d (Parrish Lewis\/Netflix)<\/p>\n

They Cloned Tyrone<\/p>\n

Netflix does occasionally strike gold with their original movies, and \u201cThey Cloned Tyrone\u201d is testament to that. The film stars Jamie Foxx, John Boyega and Teyonah Parris as an unlikely trio who uncover a shocking conspiracy (hint: reread the film title) in their neighborhood. The film boasts heart and humor alike, and if it had had a theatrical run rather than being thrown to the wolves on Netflix, more people would be talking about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Starship Troopers<\/p>\n

\u201cStarship Troopers\u201d is a sci-fi classic. Not much can be written here that hasn\u2019t been said on lists like these since they started clicking. If you\u2019re a fan of the genre, are looking around the internet for new recommendations to check out, and you somehow haven\u2019t seen \u201cStarship Troopers,\u201d close this window and head to Netflix. That is all.<\/p>\n

\"Upgrade\"OTL\/Blumhouse<\/p>\n

Upgrade<\/p>\n

In \u201cUpgrade,\u201d a man who was left paralyzed after a mugging is offered an experimental technology to regain control of his body. The new implant, unfortunately, can take over control of his body at times and turn him into a killing machine. The man teams up with his semi-sentient implant to get revenge on the people who hurt him. Sci-fi and body horror are two great tastes that taste great together and \u201cUpgrade\u201d is a testament to that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Invisible Man\u201d filmmaker Leigh Whannell directs the hell out of this film, too, which features a number of kinetic fight scenes to feast on through the runtime.<\/p>\n

\"DavidKyle MacLachlan in David Lynch\u2019s 1984 \u201cDune\u201d (Credit: Universal Pictures)<\/p>\n

Dune<\/p>\n

The Denis Villeneuve-helmed \u201cDune\u201d films might have breathed new life into the sci-fi classic, but the original 1984 adaptation is still deserving of a watch. David Lynch is one of the few directorial minds with the skill to juggle all the plots and themes in the film and, while the final product isn\u2019t exactly what he wanted \u2013 due in no small part to over involvment from the studio \u2013 it is still well worth the time of any new Dune fan to compare where we are to how we got there.<\/p>\n

\"the-adam-project\"Netflix<\/p>\n

The Adam Project<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Adam Project\u201d is a time travel story about a boy who teams with an older version of himself to stop a company from weaponizing tech built by their father that ends up ruining the world. It was one of the first collaborations between Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy, who later reteamed for the massive \u201cDeadpool & Wolverine,\u201d and evokes a Spielbergian lightness and heart that makes this a sci-fi flick that\u2019s fun for the whole family.<\/p>\n

\"PacificPhoto: Legendary<\/p>\n

Pacific Rim<\/p>\n

Guillermo del Toro took a break from the gothic horror genre and went all out into sci-fi with \u201cPacific Rim.\u201d The premise is simple: monsters called Kaiju are rising from the sea all over the world, and the best hope of defense comes in the form of massive mechs called Jaegers piloted by two people who link their minds together. The themes are light, but the vibes are right with this one. Turn your brain off and enjoy robots and monsters punching each other for two hours. Simplistic bliss.<\/p>\n

\""The\u201cThe Wild Robot\u201d (Universal Pictures)<\/p>\n

The Wild Robot<\/p>\n

WARNING: \u201cThe Wild Robot\u201d will reduce you to tears at least twice in its 102-minute runtime. The film already stands as an animated classic, a year after its release, and tells the story of a robot who crashes on an uninhabited island, befriending the various woodland creatures and raising a small goose as her son. Even if you aren\u2019t a parent yet, be prepared for the back half of \u201cThe Wild Robot\u201d to reduce you to tears in the best way possible.<\/p>\n
