Five Science Fiction Movies to Stream Now

‘Reversi’

Transmit it in Netflix.

“Time does not expect anyone,” says Akid (Beto Kusyairy). Except for him, that’s. He comes from a family in which people can travel back to the past. The mechanics is confusing, but there are some basic rules, including the need to accept the inevitability of some events, regardless of how much tried to prevent them and the hard reality that time trip takes away life, doing. These basic rules enter a crucial game in the science fiction melodrama of Adrian Teh, Malaysia. Akid joins the police and marries Sarah (Shiqin Kamal), a martial art instructor; They have a son, Anas (Dzul Haziq or Zamri Danish, depending on the age of Anas). After the tragedy hits the family, Akid tries to use the power to rewrite the story.

If this is one of the many American films that involve time manipulation, either through trips or loops, our hero would be a trick through the essay. Let’s say that the “Reversi” essay does not solve the way we are accustomed, since history is interested in a different set of moral and existential parameters. While the film is, without a doubt, a bit too long, Teh finds new gears at regular intervals, with a couple of plot turns that rise the emotional bet.

‘The gorge’

Transmit it on Apple TV+.

Let’s take a break from this month’s avalanche or bleak future for an old school pulp. Scott Derrickson (“The Black Phone”, “Sinister”) is among the best American directors who work on gender thesis days, and with this film mix two of them: the characteristic of the science fiction creature and the romance two together, we go to Goore.

Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy play the Sharpshoters Levi and Drasa, who have had the task of ensuring that what he caresses at the bottom of the title is Gorge does not escape. The two work for opposite sides of the geopolitical chess board and, properly, keep guard on the opposite sides of the abyss. This does not prevent them from developing a delicious flirtation, even if we could have made the target references to the most famous roles of the two stars (let’s say the battery and chess are involved). Apart from that, Derrickson keeps his foot on the accelerator pedal, and counterclocks and the playful chemistry of Taylor-Joy should keep everyone but spectators obsessed with the distracted coherence of the holes in the plot enjoyed.

‘All Lost’

Rent or buy it on most main platforms.

In a moment tomorrow, a movement similar to the militia called United Conservancy has tasks about most of the north, apparently horcated over the United States and Canada. Those strongly armed and camouflage men defend nationalism and racism, and the group claims to fight “for the freedom of their people.” Mackenzie Donaldson’s film, filmed in Ontario, follows a small group of local residents who desperately try to evade empowered thugs. They start hiding in a spacious house next to a lake, but soon move. “All the lost” were conceived before the current president of the United States began to make noises about facing his northern neighbor, but the recent saber deposit has given this Canadian a different resonance. The low budget of the film and the simple plot actually reinforces its naturalism: the situation feels very real sometimes, especially because potential customers are not types of strangely skilled survivors, but regular people who are not necessarily.

Fun margin: Donaldson launched his mother, the Canadian action treasure Sheila McCarthy, as one of the people trying to evade the militia, further reinforcing the idea of ​​the heartbreaking canucios who face the force.

‘2073’

Transmit it to the maximum.

Here we go again: mood is not sunny on science fiction thesis days. The United States of the year 2073 is a nightmare of extremes in this characteristic of director Asif Kapadia. The cities have been level for fires, while all are flooded. Surveillance and authoritarianism keep people under control. In San Francisco, the new capital of the country, the rich live in happy luxury in a mega Rise. The rest survive however, in an urban wasteland, such as Ghost (Samantha Morton), which lives in the department of shoes of a shattered shopping center.

What makes “2073” stand out is to see how we get to this hypothetical future future flashback segments (Kapadia is known by documentaries, including “Amy”, about Amy Winehouse, for whom she won a prize of the Academy). The emergence of authoritarianism and sectarianism throughout the world, the influence of the gigantic corporations in the corners and cracks of our lives, the destruction of the environment, the emergence of large dogs and small “-ulkeias nimenimasnim” points out without problems and names of names in our real present. “People thought the world would end, but the world continues,” Ghost says in his voice narrative. “It is we who will end.” This is a gloomy and desperate perspective, but Kapadia’s vision has the merit of being prepared.
