Sci-fi is a genre full of plenty of heavy hitters. There are giant franchises, endless sequels, and blockbuster effects, and the biggest ones tend to end up wedged deep in our minds. Unfortunately, that means a lot of genuinely good science fiction slips through the cracks. After all, not every movie needs a $200 million budget to be enjoyable.
Netflix is packed with sci-fi flicks beyond the obvious hits, especially smaller movies that come jam-packed with some interesting ideas that you may not have even thought of. They're the kind of thing that you stumble onto late at night and end up thinking about long after the credits roll.
