Underrated Sci Fi Films to Add to Your Watchlist

Right now is the perfect time to escape the heat and dive into thrilling new
worlds, and what better way to do that than with captivating science fiction movies? While
eagerly anticipated blockbusters might be on everyone’s radar, the genre also offers a mix of
exciting past releases and gems that deserve a spot on your watchlist.

One film that deserves more recognition is the Bong Joon-ho film Okja (2017)
about a young girl and her genetically engineered “super pig.” It sounds wild, but that’s exactly
what makes a film engaging. Young Mija has been taking care of a massive pig that she
considers her friend and close companion. However, Okja gets taken by a corporation for
ill-intentions and Mija needs to find a way to get her beloved companion back before it’s too late.

Another to consider watching is the anime film Bubble from 2022, revolving
around the horrors of physics being altered and distorted by mysterious bubbles. The striking
visuals and animation make this one difficult to turn away from, and it’s one to watch if an
anime-style is more up your alley.

If you’re looking to support a low-budget sci-fi film, Coherence from 2013 is one
to keep in mind, which explores the horrors of a dinner party being disrupted by a passing
comet and quantum anomalies. While it starts off as kind of a slow burn, it’s one worth watching
if a heart-racing sci-fi thriller is up your alley.

Whether you’re seeking grand adventures in space, mind-bending explorations of
consciousness, or thrilling time-travel escapades, the sci-fi landscape offers a diverse range of
cinematic experiences to keep you entertained. So grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and
prepare to be transported to extraordinary worlds from the comfort of your home, and be on the
lookout for upcoming films right around the corner.
