[QUOTE="AtomicPope, post: 8508539, member: 64790"] Netflix has a few series and movies that are definitely worthy of a mention: [B]* Stranger Things (4 seasons) [/B]- it taps into the 80's nostalgia of sci-fi and horror (E.T., Firestarter, The Thing) combined with 80's kid adventure (Goonies, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). It's a family friendly show about 80's kids in small town Indiana where one kid ends up missing, and it's up to his friends to find him. [B]* The OA (2 seasons)[/B] - a low key sci-fi/fantasy show where the 1st season is flawless for its execution of the unreliable narrator. Unique in its execution you could stop at season 1 as season 2 has a completely different style, a more traditional sci-fi/fantasy narrative. Season 2 breaks the 4th wall in a way that no other show has before. [B]* I Am Mother (movie) [/B]- a sci-fi movie about an AI keeping the last human alive. The AI raises a human as its child, teaching her how to be human and develop into an adult. It becomes clear the AI isn't telling us everything, but how much it's lying remains to be seen by the last surviving human and whether or not the AI will allow her to live if she discovers the truth. [B]* Orbiter 9 (movie) [/B]- a Spanish language sci-fi movie about a dystopian earth where a human is born in space and living as a guinea pig for scientists on earth. Then one day there's a malfunction on Orbiter 9, and a scientist decides to interfere with the mission. [B]* Stargate (movie)[/B] - 90's sci-fi movie that launched a half-a-dozen tv series spin offs. The premise is simple and complex: ancient Egypt was created by aliens, and only one Egyptologist figured it out. Since he understands the language more than anyone, he's called to decipher the StarGate, an alien technology that opens a rift in space to another Stargate. On the other side is another Egypt, but it's still ruled by Aliens. [B]* Minority Report (movie) [/B]- John (Tom Cruise) is the lead detective of the Pre-Crime division, a police unit that arrests people moments before they commit murder. The images of the future come from 3 Pre-Cogs, psychics kept in a drug-sedated REM stat. Murders have been nearly eradicated. Then one day images of John committing murder appear. He has less than 36 hours to solve the crime before he's locked away. [B]* Let Me In (movie)[/B] - a low-budget horror drama that follows troubled kids into what could be a death cult where nothing is as what it seems. The movie is unique in the psychological motives of the kids and adults are extremely well played in both script and acting, with no over-the-top dialogue or grandstanding performances. [/QUOTE]
