Science fiction is the favorite genre of many and Netflix has upped their sci-fi movies game over the recent years.
The catalog of streaming films is especially strong when it comes to 21st-century indie movies. Here are five sci-fiction movies you should stream right now on Netflix:
Wifelike
When artificial human Meredith gets assigned as a companion to grieving widower William, it’s designed to behave like his late wife. However, in the fight to end AI exploitation, an underground organization attempts to sabotage Meredith’s programming. It soon begins to question reality as memories of a past life begin to resurface in a world where nothing is as it seems.
They Cloned Tyrone
They Cloned Tyrone is a sci-fi comedy that combines ’70s Blaxploitation with mystery and social satire, the film has similar vibes to movies like Get Out or Sorry to Bother You while employing a far more absurd premise.
Fontaine (John Boyega) is a drug dealer living in an impoverished area called The Glen. While trying to collect funds owed to him by a local pimp named Slick Charles (Jamie Foxx), Fontaine is shot and killed — but that doesn’t stop him from showing up on Slick’s doorstep the next day to collect his money. Joined by a sex worker named YoYo (Teyonah Parris), the trio attempts to get to the bottom of what appears to be a massive government conspiracy aimed at exploiting their disenfranchised community as medical subjects.
65
The movie plot revolves around pilot named Mills who after a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet quickly discovers he’s actually stranded on Earth — 65 million years ago.
Now, with only one chance at a rescue, Mills and the only other survivor, Koa, must make their way across an unknown terrain riddled with dangerous prehistoric creatures.
Dinosaurs are always fun for adults and children alike. Adam Driver stars in this special effects extravaganza when he tries to traverse his way through a past version of earth from 65 million years ago. The fighting scenes and the different types of monsters are both entertaining and easy to consume, making this a true popcorn flick.

Orchestrated by Director Yeon Sang-ho of Train to Busan, Peninsula, and Hellbound, and with a colorful cast – Kang Soo-youn, Kim Hyun-joo, Ryu Kyung-soo – JUNG_E portrays a unique theme combined with dystopia, cloning, and technology.”
