The best sci-fi movies on Netflix right now

Netflix isn’t prioritizing sci-fi in 2025, but at the very least it has some big movies in the genre. Christopher Nolan’s Inception was actually added to Netflix’s library in January alongside Interstellar. In the absence of any major additions to the genre in February, it had to be our top pick in the category this month.

Similarly, Mad Max: Fury Road came to Netflix last month, and nothing comparable has arrived since. Netflix can only afford to coast on these films for so long before fans run out of science fiction movies to enjoy. In the meantime, you can find these films among the best sci-fi movies on Netflix below.
