10 Best Sci-Fi Movies On Netflix Right Now

10. I Am Mother (2019)

I Am Mother treads a perfect line between unsettling and philosophical. In a strange dystopian future, a girl known only as Daughter (Clara Rugaard) is cared for by a maternal robot called Mother (Rose Byrne). The outside world is dead, and Daughter is alone with zero human contact until an apocalypse survivor (Hillary Swank) enters the picture and flips her world upside down.

The sci-fi drama works first and foremost as an exercise in suspense. Most modern sci-fi films fall down with their predictability and lack of daring, but I Am Mother salutes its inspirations whilst also revelling in its own clear-cut identity.

From the top draw performances of Rugaard and Swank - and a compelling vocal turn from Rose Byrne - to the genuinely unpredictable and frightening conclusion, I Am Mother is one of Netflix's most unfairly hidden sci-fi gems, and deserves to be dug up.
