Looking for the best sci-fi movie to watch on Netflix this March? You’ve got options, but here are three picks that fit the spring vibe.
There are tons of cool sci-fi films to look forward to in the coming weeks. From Flying Lotus’ psychedelic horror thriller Ash to David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds, there’s no shortage of exciting new releases to catch in theaters. If you’re looking for the best sci-fi movies to watch from the comfort of your own home, though, we’ve got a couple in mind that’ll give the latest slate of films a run for their money and then some.
This week, we’ve picked an indelible sci-fi classic starring Harrison Ford and Sean Young, a critically panned superhero reboot that’s actually pretty good, and a maximalist action horror movie with guns and guts galore.
Let’s take a look at what this month has to offer!Editor’s pick: Blade Runner: The Final Cut
Director: Ridley Scott
Cast: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young
Imagine this: You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden, you look down and you see a tortoise that’s crawling toward you. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help, but you’re not helping. Why is that?
You already know the answer, don’t you? Ridley Scott’s 1982 neo-noir opus is essentially a litmus (or Voight-Kampff) test for whether or not you’ll enjoy cyberpunk as a whole, as almost the entirety of the genre’s tonal, thematic, and aesthetic touchstones are attributable to the film’s singular vision of a petro-capitalist future teetering on the brink of collapse.
