The sci-fi genre has always been my go-to when I’m looking for comfort in a movie. Maybe because it feels so fantastical that I can easily immerse myself in what’s happening on the screen (and it doesn’t always have to be about aliens either). If you’re a fan of thrilling sci-fi that’s as gripping as it is entertaining, then you’re in the right place.

Here are five must-see sci-fi thrillers that you can stream right now on streaming services like Netflix, Peacock and more. From a mind-bending thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio to one of my all-time favorites featuring one of the creepiest scenes in the genre, plus a sci-fi thriller with a deeply emotional core, there’s something for everyone.

Watch On

One of the most iconic sci-fi movies out there has to be “Inception,” and it feels only right to kick off this list with it. Christopher Nolan's mind-bending thriller is one I've watched several times, not just for its well-known cast, but for a plot that's refreshingly original. The visuals and intense action sequences make this movie an absolute blast, and now, anyone with a Netflix subscription can stream it at their leisure.
