As 2025 comes to a close, movie fans can reflect on a year filled with imaginative and diverse science fiction offerings. Despite a shifting landscape of fewer theatrical releases and the dominance of streaming, Hollywood delivered several noteworthy sci-fi films.
While James Cameron’s “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is too recent to review, several films stood out. DC Studios’ “Superman” reboot, starring David Corenswet, impressed audiences with its hopeful tone, while Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” directed by Matt Shakman, provided a fun, retro-futuristic adventure.
Other highlights include Netflix’s big-budget “The Electric State,” a visually stunning post-apocalyptic journey. Apple TV+’s “The Gorge” offered sci-fi horror with a romantic twist. Disney scored big with the live-action “Lilo & Stitch” remake. Peacock delivered a mind-bending conspiracy thriller with “Bugonia.” Netflix also presented the heartfelt Korean animated film “Lost in Starlight.”
Danny Boyle returned to the zombie genre with “28 Years Later.” Hulu expanded the Predator universe with “Killer of Killers” and “Badlands.” The indie horror film “Ash” by Flying Lotus offered a Lovecraftian nightmare, and Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” provided a gothic and tragic vision of Mary Shelley’s classic tale.
While some films missed the mark, these twelve movies showcased artistry and imagination, providing exceptional experiences for sci-fi fans.
