Joe Cianciotto's List of Underrated Netflix Sci-Fi Movies

As everyone knows, Netflix is today's go-to streaming service for all sorts of movies and TV shows. However, Joe Cianciotto says that it would not be as popular if it weren't for the site's dedication to providing well-produced titles.  

Sure, there are many so-so movies on the site, so we'd instead focus on the ones that are worth your popcorn bingeing. In this blog post, Joe Cianciotto shares some must-see sci-fi movies on the streaming site.

Okja (2017)

Okja is a modern masterpiece by Oscar-winning Korean director Boong Joon-ho. The film is a unique take and commentary on age-old issues regarding animal cruelty and the meat market.  

The director took this concept to new heights with this surreal, hilarious, and ultimately tragic story of a gallant and gigantic pig. We don't want to spoil it, but the plight of Okja and Mija will haunt you long after you finish the film.

Annihilation (2018)

This movie is based on the bestselling book by author Jeff VanderMeer. Annihilation follows the story of a team of female biologists who venture into a territory called Area X. Their goal is to unlock the secrets behind disappearances and medical anomalies resulting from previous expeditions.  

It's a compelling plot, directed by renowned sci-fi director Alex Garland of Ex Machina. Its stellar cast includes Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

ARQ (2016)

This film proves that directors and producers need not have massive budgets and Hollywood superstars to shine. Director Tony Elliott claims that the film worked with a budget of just $2 million. In any case, ARQ is a refreshing take on the genre set in a dystopian future, with the plot revolving around a mysterious device (the ARQ) that allows time to loop.
