(Image credit: Vertical Entertainment) Science fiction is easily one of the most popular and prolific genres in movies today. But while there are countless major hit sci-fi movies, there’s many if not even more cult sci-fi classics still waiting to be discovered. Sci-fi cinema began almost as soon as movies themselves began, with Georges Méliès' A Trip to the Moon – widely considered the first sci-fi movie – released in 1902. Méliès was only the first of more than a century of filmmakers using science fiction to contemplate humanity’s future – the dreams, the nightmares, the endless possibilities. While there’s a ton of undisputed classics in the genre, there’re many more underrated and undiscovered gems that still deserve their proper due. For those worn out on Terminator and Avatar, for those who’ve had their fill of Star Wars and Star Treks to last a lifetime yet still crave the speculative tech and outlandish tales of extraterrestrial existence – congratulations, you’ve come to the right place. This is your new favorite go-to list of under-the-radar science fiction flicks. Here are 32 underrated sci-fi movies. 32. I’m Your Man (2021) (Image credit: Bleecker Street) Can love be created? Even programmed? That’s the question powering Emma Braslavsky’s acclaimed science fiction romance I’m Your Man, released in 2021. Dan Stevens (The Guest, FX’s Legion) stars as Tom, an android who is designed to be the perfect partner exclusively for lonely scientist Alma (Maren Eggert). As part of a research project, Alma is forced to live with Tom and document their relationship. While Alma is resistant at first, emotions slowly become real. Sparks really fly in this alluring German-language production, a movie that supposes love can be found when you least expect it. 31. The Super Inframan (1975) (Image credit: Shaw Brothers) 30. I.S.S. (2023) (Image credit: Bleecker Street) In this overlooked pressure cooker thriller, Russian and American astronauts aboard the International Space Station grow suspicious of one another when a ground war between the superpowers begins back on Earth. Thanks to a small but capable cast, including Ariana DeBose, Chris Messina, and John Gallagher Jr., I.S.S. powers through its shortcomings to be a suspenseful story about trust, and if hatred really is as simple as picking sides. Also, for a tiny budget of less than $14 million, I.S.S. has some pretty spectacular production value with gorgeous overviews of Earth. 29. The Pod Generation (2023) (Image credit: Roadside Attractions) Writer/director Sophie Barthes satirizes our very possible future in her sci-fi rom-com The Pod Generation. Emilia Clarke (of Game of Thrones fame) and Chiwitel Ejiofor co-star as a married couple living in a near future New York City. In trying to start a family, Clarke’s character Rachel is eager to give birth via mobile artificial wombs, while Alvy (Ejiofor) is hoping for more traditional methods. The Pod Generation is terrifically funny, with quietly dark underpinnings of our imminent submission to artificial intelligence and technology. Because when we even depend on the machines to give birth, at what point are we still human? The Pod Generation lightly ponders this question with delightful humor.

Radius (2017) (Image credit: Epic Pictures Group) This low budget Canadian sci-fi thriller features abundant touches of apocalyptic and disease horror, resulting in a compelling but understated gem. In Radius, Diego Klattenhoff and Charlotte Sullivan play amnesiac survivors of a car accident who slowly realize they each have a strange physical effect. Klattenhoff’s Liam seems capable of passively killing everyone around him, while the woman, Jane Doe (Sullivan) can cancel out that effect. Complete with a striking twist ending, Radius is not one to keep away from. 27. After Yang (2021) (Image credit: A24) After drawing acclaim for his deeply human drama Columbus in 2017, writer/director Koganda lent his sensibilities to the realm of sci-fi with his equally adored movie After Yang. Colin Farrell and Jodie-Turner Smith play members of a family living in the future as they attempt to repair Yang, their “adopted” android son who was purchased on the second-hand market. In doing so, they discover Yang’s secret desires to be human. Replete with themes of grief, loss, memory, and impermanence, Koganda’s affecting After Yang brings remarkable warmth to a genre too often concerned with the steely exteriors of a cynical future. 26. Oblivion (2013) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) In 2022, Tom Cruise and Joseph Kosinski teamed up for the billion-dollar smash Top Gun: Maverick, a legacy sequel that tore up the skies. But their collaboration started almost a decade earlier with the nearly forgotten sci-fi actioner Oblivion. Set in the future, after Earth is devastated following a nuclear war between humans and aliens, a repairman (Cruise) and his communications officer (Andrea Riseborough) find they are not the only ones left on the planet. This slowly begins a journey into realizing exactly what happened that destroyed the planet. Oblivion drew only mixed reviews from critics but did well enough at the box office. While it’s far from Cruise’s best movie, it might surprise anyone curious enough to see it for themselves.

Fingernails (2023) (Image credit: Apple) If science fiction movies too often conjure images of stark white suits and impossible technologies, let Chirstos Nikou’s emotionally charged Fingernails – released on Apple TV+ in 2023 – help you alter your assumptions. In this delicate drama, a young woman named Anna (Jessice Buckley) begins working at The Love Institute, a start-up company that practices a popular new test that unquestionably proves if your partner is your soulmate. Though Anna and her partner Ryan (Jeremy Allen White) already enjoy a positive result, Anna’s work at The Love Institute puts her in close proximity with Amir (Riz Ahmed), which has Anna questioning everything. While Fingernails is indeed sci-fi, its grounded, even analog setting affords it relatable authenticity. 24. Sputnik (2020) (Image credit: IFC Midnight) 23. Making Mr. Right (1987) (Image credit: Orion Pictures) 22. No One Will Save You (2023) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) 21. Dreamscape (1984) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) 20. Vesper (2022) (Image credit: IFC Films) A science fiction movie centered around ecology and biohacking, Vesper stars Raffiella Chapman as a young teenaged girl who lives in a ravaged future Earth where most of humanity struggles just to eat. Chapman, as the titular heroine Vesper, figures a way to access the bacteria in the seeds to make them fertile once more, which is key to mankind’s survival. But she must first survive the ruthlessness of her uncle (Eddie Marsan) and the comfortable oligarchy who subjugate everyone else. Vesper is understated and often gorgeous, being about perseverance and brilliance meant for the good of all. 19. Save Yourselves! (2020) (Image credit: Bleecker Street) 18. Altered States (1980) (Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures) 17. Event Horizon (1997) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) Set in the year 2047, Event Horizon follows a group of astronauts on a rescue mission to investigate a once-missing spaceship that has just returned near Neptune. A moody sci-fi horror in the spirit of Alien, the movie floats thanks in part to its strong ensemble cast, including Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neil, Jason Isaacs, Joely Richaradson, Kathleen Quinlan, and Sean Pertwee. While Event Horizon has cultivated its reputation as a cult classic over a long period of time, it’s still got some ways to go before it officially enters orbit as a legitimate genre masterpiece instead of the overlooked gem it remains. 16. Archive (2020) (Image credit: Vertical Entertainment) 15. Prospect (2018) (Image credit: Gunpowder & Sky) 14. Redline (2009) (Image credit: Madhouse) 13. Possessor (2020) (Image credit: NEON) 12. Underwater (2020) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) 11. The Island (2005) (Image credit: DreamWorks Pictures) Just before taking on the mega-hit Transformers series, Michael Bay let loose this summer crowd-pleaser that offers up Bay’s own excessive spin on dystopian science fiction. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson co-star as residents of an underground community who believe Earth has fallen due to environmental apocalypse; they live highly organized and routine lives, with the promise of maybe winning the lottery to go to a lush tropical island forever. But not all is what it seems. While genre fans will find nods to everything from Logan’s Run to THX 1138 to even Soylent Green, The Island is solid dumb fun that benefits from Bay’s usual bombast. 10. Come True (2020) (Image credit: IFC Midnight) 9. LFO (2013) (Image credit: SpectreVision) A sci-fi thriller that is at times outrageously funny, this Swedish-language indie hails from director Antonio Tublén and explores how the need for control can lead to losing it entirely. LFO follows an ordinary if pathetic man, Robert (Patrik Karlson) who suspects his wife is cheating on him. One day, Robert stumbles upon a radio frequency that allows him to hypnotize and control anyone who hears it. His experiments with the frequency dangerously escalate into Robert controlling everyone around him, which is fun at first but naturally includes horrific (but hilarious) consequences. Unusual but quirky, LFO goes up to 11 – and then breaks the dial. 8. Gatchaman (2013) (Image credit: Toho) 7. Upgrade (2018) (Image credit: Blumhouse Tilt) Leigh Whannell’s sci-fi thriller Upgrade is about a man who yields to a dangerous alter ego – with very, very deadly results. Upgrade stars Logan Marshall-Green as Grey, a mechanic who becomes paralyzed after a group of men shoot him and kill his wife (Melanie Vallejo). Implanted with a cutting-edge computer chip, Grey is able to walk again. But the chip’s scary A.I. has its own motivations, and offers Grey the opportunity to get his sweet revenge in exchange for letting the A.I. use his body. Deliriously and deliciously violent, Upgrade is like a cross between John Wick, Venom, and Ex Machina, but Whannell’s sharp direction makes it its own thing. 6. Synchronic (2019) (Image credit: Well Go USA) 5. Midnight Special (2016) (Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures) 4. Alive (2002) (Image credit: Media Blasters) 3. Aniara (2018) (Image credit: Magnolia Pictures) 2. The Vast of Night (2019) (Image credit: Amazon Studios) The Vast of Night’s flavor of vintage sci-fi is so good yet so fresh, you might listen to some Elvis right afterward. Fittingly released into drive-in theaters in May 2020, Andrew Patterson’s The Vast of Night takes audiences back to New Mexico, circa 1950s, following a radio deejay (Jake Horowitz) and a switchboard operator (Sierra McCormick) who receive a mysterious signal coming from some-thingin space. A beautiful mixture of War of the Worlds and American Graffiti, The Vast of Night overcomes its low-budget limits to deliver a truly suspenseful experience. 1. Ad Astra (2019) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) You would think a sci-fi movie starring Brad Pitt would be a bigger deal. But for some reason, audiences are still discovering Ad Astra. From James Gray, the movie stars Pitt as an astronaut who ventures to space to locate his once-presumed dead father (Tommy Lee Jones), himself a heroic astronaut, after his space station near Neptune is deemed to be the source of dangerous power surges which threaten life on Earth. While Ad Astra is a gorgeous story about identity, unfinished business, and the fallacy of hero worship, it also has some truly dazzling set-pieces, including a shoot-out rover chase on the Moon. Ad Astra is an emotionally driven sci-fi classic still waiting to be discovered.
