Another month, another batch of exciting new releases in theaters to look forward to! Gladiator II<\/a><\/em>, Wicked Part I<\/a><\/em>, Moana 2<\/a><\/em>, and more all slated to be released by the end of November. But what about a new sci-fi flick, or at the very least a good one to watch from the comfort of your own home? Don\u2019t worry: We\u2019ve got just the list of options for you to choose from!<\/p>\n

Every month, we pull together a list of the best sci-fi movies available to stream on Netflix. For this month, we\u2019ve curated a trio of sci-fi films that each touch on the subject of deja vu in their own peculiar way. We\u2019ve got a neo-noir thriller starring Ethan Hawke (Moon Knight<\/a><\/em>) and Sarah Snook (Succession<\/a><\/em>), a legacy sequel to one of the most important sci-fi franchises of the early 2000s, and a \u201cso bad it\u2019s good\u201d superhero movie starring Dakota Johnson.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at what this month has to offer!<\/p>\n

\n

Editor\u2019s pick: Predestination<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Directors: <\/strong>Peter Spierig, Michael Spierig
Cast: <\/strong>Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, Noah Taylor<\/p>\n

Ethan Hawke stars opposite then-future Succession<\/em> star Sarah Snook in this mind-bending sci-fi caper. Adapted from Robert A. Heinlein\u2019s short story \u201cAll You Zombies,\u201d Predestination<\/em> stars Hawke as an agent of a clandestine organization on a mission to apprehend a notorious terrorist known as the \u201cFizzle Bomber.\u201d As part of his mission, the agent is tasked with recruiting a forlorn writer (Snook) with an extraordinary life story.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t go much further into the details of the story without risk of spoiling its many twists and turns, but what I can say is that Hawke and Snook deliver terrific performances as two lonely people brought together through truly extraordinary circumstances. If you\u2019re looking for an unconventional and deeply affecting sci-fi story with a compelling mystery and a provocative ending, Predestination<\/em> is this month\u2019s sci-fi movie to watch. \u2014Toussaint Egan<\/em><\/p>\n

The Matrix Resurrections<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Director: <\/strong>Lana Wachowski
Cast: <\/strong>Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II<\/p>\n

In the almost three years since its release, The Matrix Resurrections<\/em> has aged into one of the most interesting and incisive movies of the legacyquels era. It masterfully treads the line between engaging with the legacy of the original Matrix movies while also questioning the entire industry that could make it possible, or even necessary, to return to a franchise a decade after it ended. The movie dares to ask what kind of cultural stagnation studios might have tried to force us into that we haven\u2019t developed new heroes in all this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s also more than just its metaphors. And in keeping with Matrix series tradition, Resurrections<\/em> is also just an absolutely kick-ass action movie. And for all the movie\u2019s clever industry-wide criticisms, it is hard to argue with the pure cinematic joy of seeing Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss back on screen together. For the conflict of those two feelings alone, Resurrections <\/em>is well worth your time now that it\u2019s on Netflix. \u2014Austen Goslin<\/em><\/p>\n

Madame Web<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Director: <\/strong>S. J. Clarkson
Cast:<\/strong> Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced<\/p>\n

This one is not so much a recommendation of a movie as it is a recommendation of an experience. I\u2019m certainly on the record of thinking Madame Web<\/em> is a bad movie<\/a>. But that doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s no fun to be had with its particular brand of bad. That being said, you probably won\u2019t have a great time with the movie just watching it on your couch alone on a Saturday night. But if you can organize the right group of friends, the right refreshments, and the right attitude, Madame Web<\/em> is a near perfect movie to throw on Netflix and make jokes about. <\/p>\n

If for some reason you want a more serious reason to watch this, then consider that maybe its plot will have some kind of relevance for the Kraven the Hunter<\/em>, a movie that\u2019s supposedly coming out on Dec. 13. \u2014AG<\/em><\/p>\n
